Can You Loop a Video on Squarespace?

Last updated on December 12, 2022 @ 1:55 pm

Yes, you can loop a video on Squarespace. Looping a video means that it will play continuously until the viewer stops it. To loop a video on Squarespace, you’ll need to use the code block element.

In the code block element, you’ll need to add the following code:

< video autoplay loop >
< source src="your-video-file.mp4" type="video/mp4" >
< /video >

Replace “your-video-file.mp4” with the URL of the video you want to loop. You can find this URL by going to your video file in the File Manager and clicking on the Share button. Copy the link that appears in the pop-up window and paste it into your code block.

PRO TIP: There is no built-in video looping feature on Squarespace. If you want to loop a video on your Squarespace website, you’ll need to use a third-party video hosting service that offers this feature, like Vimeo.

You can also use other video formats besides .mp4, including .webm and .ogv. For more information on supported video formats, check out this help article from Squarespace.

Once you’ve added your code, click Apply to save your changes. Your video will now loop when played on your site!
