How Do I Embed a YouTube Stream in Squarespace?

Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 8:54 am

Squarespace is an online platform that allows users to create websites and blogs. It is known for its ease of use and its drag-and-drop interface. One of the features that makes Squarespace stand out is its ability to embed media from other sources, including YouTube.

YouTube is a video sharing website that allows users to upload, view, and share videos. It is the most popular video sharing site on the internet, with over a billion active users. YouTube videos can be embedded on websites and blogs using HTML code.

To embed a YouTube stream on Squarespace, you will need to add an “embed” block to your page. This can be done from the Blocks menu in the editor. Once you have added the block, you will need to paste the embed code for your YouTube stream into the block.

PRO TIP: If you are considering embedding a YouTube stream on your Squarespace website, be aware that there are potential risks involved. Your website’s visitors could be exposed to inappropriate content or malware if the stream is not properly configured. Additionally, YouTube streams use a significant amount of bandwidth and could slow down your website if not properly optimized.

The embed code for a YouTube stream can be found on the YouTube website. To find it, open the video you want to embed in a new browser tab.

Click on the Share button below the video player, and then click on the Embed button. Copy the code that appears in the box and paste it into your Squarespace block.

Once you have added the code, you can preview your page to see how it will look. If you are happy with the results, click Save and your page will be published with the embedded YouTube stream.
