There are a few different ways that you can lightbox a video in Squarespace. The first way is to use the lightbox feature that is built into the Squarespace platform.

To do this, you simply need to add a video block to your page and then click on the ‘Lightbox’ icon in the block settings. This will open up a lightbox window where you can select your video from your computer or from YouTube.

The second way to lightbox a video is to use a third-party lightbox plugin. There are a few different plugins that you can use, but we recommend using the ‘Video Lightbox’ plugin. This plugin allows you to add videos from your computer or from YouTube and Vimeo, and it also gives you a few different options for how the lightbox will look and behave.

PRO TIP: Please be aware that the “How Do I Lightbox a Video in Squarespace?” article is potentially dangerous and should be used with caution. We recommend that you do not attempt to lightbox a video in Squarespace unless you are an experienced user.

Once you have installed and activated the plugin, you can add a video lightbox to your page by clicking on the ‘Add Video Lightbox’ button in the WordPress editor. This will open up a popup window where you can select your video and configure the lightbox settings.

Conclusion:

Lightboxing a video in Squarespace is easy to do and there are a few different ways that you can do it. If you want to use the built-in lightbox feature, simply add a video block to your page and click on the ‘Lightbox’ icon in the block settings.
