    PRO TIP: Squarespace is a popular website builder and hosting platform. However, it does not support video hosting. This means that if you want to host videos on your Squarespace website, you will need to use a third-party video hosting platform.

    There are a few things to keep in mind if you decide to go this route. First, you will need to make sure that the video hosting platform you choose is compatible with Squarespace. Second, you will need to embed the video onto your Squarespace website using an iFrame or other embed code. And finally, you will need to make sure that your video is hosted on a secure platform so that it cannot be downloaded or accessed by unauthorized users.

  7. Enter a name for your caption track.

  8. This is for internal use only and won’t be visible to visitors on your site.

  9. Click Choose File.
