Adding Product to Product Detail Pages (PDP)

As shown in the demo video above; when you stream a video and have added products in the show settings, that video will automatically be added to the PDP pages of those added products. This means that the PDP pages will be populated with the correct video as soon as the video is streamed, with no need for additional manual work.
