# Video

A **Video Banner** in Shopify allows you to feature a video as a background or a prominent element on your homepage or product pages.

Videos on websites are used to engage users, convey information quickly, and enhance story telling with visuals and audio. Optimized for both desktop and mobile, it creates an engaging, interactive experience that can boost customer engagement and conversions.
