How do I make videos play automatically in Squarespace?

Last updated on September 24, 2022 @ 11:05 pm

Making videos play automatically in Squarespace is easy. First, make sure that your videos are uploaded to a hosted service like YouTube or Vimeo. Then, follow these steps:

1. In Squarespace, go to Settings > Media.

2. On the Media Settings page, under “AutoPlay Videos”, select the “Automatically play videos when published” option.

3. Click the “Save changes” button.

4. Your videos will now play automatically when you publish them.

If you want to disable automatic playback, you can do so by unchecking the “Automatically play videos when published” option on the Media Settings page.

PRO TIP: If you are planning to use Squarespace to host your videos, be aware that there is no built-in feature to make them play automatically. You will need to use a third-party solution or embed code in order to get this functionality.
