You can add a video to your Squarespace site using the Embed block. To add a video:

  2. In the Embed Code field, enter the code provided by your video host
  3. Click Apply
PRO TIP: Adding videos to your Squarespace website is a great way to engage your visitors and add visual interest to your site. However, there are a few things to keep in mind when adding videos to Squarespace:

1. Make sure that you have the rights to use the video. If you didn’t create the video yourself, be sure that you have permission from the copyright holder to use it on your website.

2. Squarespace allows you to embed videos from YouTube and Vimeo, but you can also upload video files directly to your site. Be aware that video files can be large, and may take some time to upload and process.

3. Once a video is on your Squarespace site, you can add it to any page or blog post using the Embed Block. Just click on the + sign in the upper left-hand corner of the editor and choose Embed from the list of blocks. Then paste in the URL of your video or choose a video file from your computer.

4. If you’re using a YouTube or Vimeo video, you can also customize the player settings (such as autoplay, looping, and hiding player controls) by clicking on the gear icon in the lower right

Your video will appear on your site.

Conclusion, you can most definitely add a video to your Squarespace site by using the Embed block and following the three simple steps above. Have fun with your new videos!
