Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 1:16 am

Adding a background video to your Squarespace website is a great way to add some personality and style to your site. You can add a video from YouTube or Vimeo, or you can upload your own video file. Here’s how to do it:

1. Go to the page on your Squarespace site where you want to add the background video. 2. In the Page Settings panel, click the “Design” tab. 3. Under “Site Background”, select “Video” from the drop-down menu.

4. Click the “Change Video” button and select the video you want to use as your background. 5. Once you’ve selected the video, you can use the controls to adjust the playback speed, volume, and other settings. 6. When you’re happy with how the video looks, click the “Save” button at the bottom of the Page Settings panel.

That’s all there is to it! Now you have a beautiful background video on your Squarespace website.

PRO TIP: Adding a background video in Squarespace can be tricky and may result in unwanted side effects. We recommend only doing this if you are comfortable with code and understand the risks involved.
