Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 3:14 am

YouTube is a great platform for sharing videos, and many people use it to post their original content. If you have a website on Squarespace, you may be wondering if you can embed YouTube videos on your site. The answer is yes!

Squarespace makes it easy to embed YouTube videos on your site. All you need is the URL of the video you want to embed.

Once you have the URL, simply go to the page or post where you want to add the video and click on the “+” sign. This will bring up a pop-up window where you can select the “Embed” option. Paste the URL of your YouTube video into the box and click “OK”.

PRO TIP: While it is possible to embed YouTube videos on Squarespace, we recommend against doing so. YouTube videos are subject to change at any time, which could break the embed on your Squarespace site. Additionally, YouTube videos are often blocked in certain countries, which could prevent your site from being accessible in those areas.

The video will then appear on your page or post. You can resize it by clicking and dragging the corners of the video.

You can also add a caption or description by clicking on the “pencil” icon that appears when you hover over the video. And that’s it! You’ve successfully embedded a YouTube video on your Squarespace site.
