How to Remove or Disable a Video From a Widget
Delete or hide a video from a beyondRegular widget preset without editing embed.js. Steps for dashboard toggles, per-store forks, and scheduled removal.
To remove a video from a beyondRegular widget, open the dashboard, go to Widgets, pick your preset, and either delete the video from the playlist or toggle its visibility off. The change publishes to the live embed within seconds. No code edits or store redeploys needed.
Remove a video from a preset (dashboard path)
Log in at itsbeyondregular.com and open Dashboard, then Widgets. Click the preset that is running on the page you care about, for example homepage-carousel or pdp-bubble. You will see the playlist of videos attached to that preset in play order.
Hover the video you want gone and click the trash icon on the right, then confirm Remove from preset. The video stays in your Library and can be added back later. The live widget refetches its playlist on the next page load, so shoppers see the shorter list within seconds. You do not need to redeploy your theme, clear a CDN, or touch the embed script.
Disable without deleting (toggle visibility)
If you want to keep the video in the playlist order but pause it, use the eye icon instead of the trash. Open Widgets, pick the preset, and click the eye on the video row. It turns to a struck-through eye and the video is skipped on the storefront.
This is the safer option when you plan to bring the video back, for example when a product is out of stock for a week. The tag data, thumbnail, and analytics history stay attached. Flip the eye back on and the video returns to its original slot. The floating bubble and reel feed formats respect this toggle the same way the carousels do.
Confirm the change on your live store
Open the storefront page that carries the widget, for example your homepage or a PDP with the bubble. Hard refresh with Ctrl+F5 (Cmd+Shift+R on Mac) so the browser drops the cached embed.js response. The removed or hidden video should be gone from the frame stack.
If it is still there, open DevTools, go to Network, and filter for embed.js. Check that the response is a 200 and that the request URL is https://www.itsbeyondregular.com/embed.js with no stale query string pinned by your theme. Also confirm the div on the page reads data-bn-preset="PRESET_ID" and that PRESET_ID matches the one you just edited in the dashboard.
Shopify merchants: leave the app embed alone
On Shopify you do not need to open the theme code editor to remove a video. Keep the beyondRegular theme app embed toggle on under Online Store, Themes, Customize, App embeds. All video-level changes happen in the beyondRegular dashboard, not in Shopify admin.
Only turn the app embed off if you want to pull every beyondRegular widget from every page at once. Turning it off does not delete your presets or videos, it just stops loading embed.js on the storefront. Flip it back on and the widgets return with the same playlist state you left them in, including any videos you disabled with the eye toggle.
Troubleshoot: video still showing after removal
Most common cause: browser or proxy cache. Hard refresh, then try an incognito window. If you use Cloudflare or a similar proxy in front of your store, purge the HTML cache for the page.
Second cause: wrong preset. Open the page source and search for data-bn-preset. The value there must match the preset ID you edited. If your homepage runs homepage-v2 but you edited homepage-v1, the video will still appear.
Third cause: the video is in more than one preset. Open Library, click the video, and check Used in. Remove or disable it from each preset that still lists it. Fourth, rarely, a scheduled start date in the future is keeping an older version pinned. Clear the schedule and save.
Common questions
Do I need to change my embed code when I remove a video?
No. The embed tag on your page only points at a preset ID. It looks like <script async src="https://www.itsbeyondregular.com/embed.js"></script> followed by <div data-bn-preset="PRESET_ID"></div>. The playlist for that preset lives in the beyondRegular dashboard. When you delete or hide a video there, the widget picks up the new list on the next fetch. Leave the script and div alone. Touching them risks breaking the mount point or losing the preset binding on that page.
How do I hide a video for one store but keep it live on another?
Use presets, not the video library. Go to Widgets, duplicate the preset you want to fork, and give the copy a new ID like homepage-in or homepage-us. On the store where you want the video hidden, toggle it off inside that preset only. Then swap the data-bn-preset value on that store's theme to the new ID. The original preset stays untouched for the other store. This keeps one video library across your account while letting each storefront show a different cut.
Can I schedule a video to disappear on a specific date?
Yes. Open the video row in your preset, click the three-dot menu, and pick Schedule. Set an end date and time in your store timezone. beyondRegular will keep the video visible until that moment, then drop it from the playlist automatically. You do not need to log back in or push code. If you want it back later, open the same menu and clear the end date. Scheduled removals also work for the floating bubble and reel feed formats, not just carousels.
