If you observe the configuration variables below in that file, it indicates that you or someone on your team has performed this action. Furthermore, have you already chosen a store from the dropdown menu at the top left? Please verify and choose “Default,” then try again.

You can add multiple video formats such as (FLV, MPEG, MP4, etc.) or embed videos from popular platforms such as YouTube and Vimeo.
