        'label'       => 'Video URL',
        'type'        => 'url',
        'placeholder' => 'https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=...',
        'value'       => $product_object instanceof WC_Product ? $product_object->get_meta( '_wpide_video_url' ) : '',
    ) );
} );

add_action( 'woocommerce_admin_process_product_object', function ( $product ) {
    // phpcs:ignore WordPress.Security.NonceVerification -- WooCommerce verifies the product save nonce.
    if ( isset( $_POST['_wpide_video_url'] ) ) {
        $product->update_meta_data( '_wpide_video_url', esc_url_raw( wp_unslash( $_POST['_wpide_video_url'] ) ) );
    }
} );

add_filter( 'woocommerce_product_tabs', function ( $tabs ) {
    global $product;

    $url = $product instanceof WC_Product ? $product->get_meta( '_wpide_video_url' ) : '';

    if ( $url ) {
        $tabs['wpide_video'] = array(
            'title'    => 'Video',
            'priority' => 15,
            'callback' => function () use ( $url ) {
                if ( preg_match( '/\.(mp4|webm|ogv)(\?.*)?$/i', $url ) ) {
                    echo wp_video_shortcode( array( 'src' => esc_url( $url ) ) ); // phpcs:ignore WordPress.Security.EscapeOutput
                    return;
                }

                $embed = $GLOBALS['wp_embed']->shortcode( array(), esc_url( $url ) );
                echo '<div class="wpide-video-tab">' . $embed . '</div>'; // phpcs:ignore WordPress.Security.EscapeOutput -- oEmbed output.
            },
        );
    }

    return $tabs;
} );
```

## Notes

Paste a YouTube or Vimeo link or a media library MP4 URL; WordPress caches the embed after the first view.
