## Step 1: Plugin Installation

You can install the plugin either via the WordPress Admin Dashboard or manually via FTP.

### Method A: Via WordPress Admin (Recommended)

1. Log in to your **WordPress Admin Dashboard**.
2. Navigate to **Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin**.
3. Click **Choose File** and select the plugin zip file (`woocommerce-product-video-gallery.zip`).
4. Click **Install Now**.
5. Once uploaded, click **Activate Plugin**.

### Method B: Via FTP / File Manager

1. Unzip the `woocommerce-product-video-gallery.zip` file on your computer.
2. Connect to your server using an FTP client (e.g., FileZilla).
3. Upload the unzipped folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory.
4. Go to **WordPress Admin → Plugins → Installed Plugins** and click **Activate** under **WooCommerce Product Video Gallery**.

## Step 2: License Activation (Pro Version)

If you are using the Pro version, activate your license key to receive automatic updates and support:

2. **Gallery Layout:** Select your preferred thumbnail position (*Vertical Left*, *Vertical Right*, or *Horizontal Bottom*).
