Adding a video background to your Squarespace site is a great way to add visual interest and appeal to your site. Videos are engaging and can help tell your story in a unique way.

PRO TIP: If you are thinking about using a video as your background on Squarespace, there are a few things you should know. First, your site will be slower to load. Second, people with slower internet connections may have difficulty loading and watching your site. Finally, search engines may have difficulty indexing your site if it is mostly video.

Once you have the code for your video background, you’ll need to upload the video file to your Squarespace account or get the URL for a video hosted on YouTube or Vimeo. Then, you’ll just need to paste the code into your template and add a few styling elements to position the video correctly on your page.
