# How to Add Video Testimonials to the Studio Theme

Showcase customer video reviews with thumbnails and lightbox. Play button overlay, video modal popup, customer name and title, and thumbnail grid layout. This guide shows how to add the Video Testimonials section to the Studio theme with Section Shop — as a native Online Store 2.0 section, customized in the theme editor, without touching Studio's code. Studio is a free theme by Shopify, known for gallery grids and art-forward presentation — and testimonials & reviews like this one are exactly the kind of section it doesn't ship out of the box.

## Why Video Testimonials fits Studio

Carousels, walls, marquees and video testimonials — social proof formats for every store style. On Studio, Video Testimonials slots in like any built-in section: it inherits the theme's fonts by default, picks up your color choices in the editor, and lives alongside Studio's own sections in the picker — prefixed "SShop:" so it's easy to spot.

## Steps

1. **Install Section Shop (free)** — Add the app from the Shopify App Store. It's free, carries the Built for Shopify badge, and changes nothing in your Studio setup until you add a section.
2. **Find “Video Testimonials” in the library** — Open the app and browse to it — it's in the Testimonials & Reviews category — or use search.
3. **Click “Add to theme”** — Section Shop writes the section into your Studio theme through Shopify's official theme API, the same mechanism Studio uses for its own sections.
4. **Open the Studio theme editor** — In Online Store → Themes → Customize, click “Add section”: you'll find it as “SShop:Video Testimonials” in the picker.
5. **Customize and save** — Adjust text, images, colors and layout. Typography follows your Studio font settings by default — or switch the section to any Shopify font. Hit Save and it's live.

## FAQ

### Does Video Testimonials work with the Studio theme?

Yes. Studio is an Online Store 2.0 theme, and Video Testimonials installs as a native OS 2.0 section through Shopify's official theme API. It appears in Studio's theme editor as “SShop:Video Testimonials”, alongside the theme's own sections.

### Will Video Testimonials match Studio's design?

By default the section inherits your theme's fonts, so it picks up Studio's typography automatically. Colors, spacing, images and content are all editable in the theme editor — no CSS required.

### Is Video Testimonials free, and what if I uninstall Section Shop?

Video Testimonials is free, like every section in the 56-section library. Once added it's a standard theme file: if you uninstall the app, the section stays in your Studio theme and keeps working.
