Can You Upload Video to Squarespace?

Last updated on December 21, 2022 @ 3:28 pm

There are many website platforms out there that allow users to upload videos. Squarespace is one of those platforms. You can upload videos to Squarespace in a few different ways. One way is to use the native video block. This block allows you to upload videos directly to your Squarespace website.

Another way is to use an embed code. This code will allow you to embed videos from other video hosting platforms like YouTube or Vimeo. Lastly, you can use a third-party video plugin. These plugins will allow you to upload videos directly to your website or embed them from other platforms.

The native video block is the easiest way to upload videos to Squarespace. Simply click on the “add block” button and select the “video” block. Then, click on the “add video” button and select the video you wish to upload from your computer.

Once the video has been uploaded, you can add a title, description, and tags. You can also choose whether or not you want the video to autoplay and loop.

PRO TIP: Squarespace does not currently support video uploads. If you attempt to upload a video, it will not be visible on your site.

If you want to embed a video from another platform, like YouTube or Vimeo, you can do so by using an embed code. To get the embed code, go to the video platform and locate the video you wish to embed on your Squarespace website. Then, click on the “share” button and copy the embed code. Next, go back to your Squarespace website and click on the “add block” button.

Select the “code” block and paste the embed code into the box. Be sure to click on the “apply” button before moving on.

There are also a few third-party plugins that allow you to upload videos directly to your website or embed them from other platforms. These plugins are not endorsed by Squarespace but they may be helpful if you want more control over your video content. Some popular plugins include: JW Player, VideoJS, and Flowplayer.

Conclusion: You can upload videos to Squarespace in a few different ways using either the native video block, an embed code, or a third-party plugin.
