Can Squarespace Autoplay Videos?

Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 3:10 am

Yes, Squarespace can autoplay videos on your website. Here’s how:

To autoplay a video on your Squarespace website, first go to the page where you’d like the video to appear. Then, click on the “Add Media” button in the upper right-hand corner of the page.

A pop-up window will appear. From here, you can either upload a video from your computer or choose one from your Squarespace library.

PRO TIP: Warning: Autoplaying videos on Squarespace can be disruptive to your website visitors and may result in a negative user experience. We recommend only using autoplay if it is absolutely necessary for your website.

Once you’ve selected a video, click on the “Embed” tab in the pop-up window. Then, select the “Autoplay” option and click “Apply.” Your video will now automatically play when someone visits that page on your website.

Note: The autoplay feature is not available for videos that are set to loop.

While Squarespace can autoplay videos on your website, we generally do not recommend doing this as it can be intrusive to website visitors. If you do choose to autoplay videos, be sure to give visitors the option to pause or stop the video.
