codefordummies 0 Posted October 24, 2019 Hey guys, I embedded a youtube video on my site but I am having two issues that I needed help solving: 1. I want to know if it's possible to avoid the Youtube video name and logo from showing up? 2. The video doesn't start playing right away, there is about a 5 second video lag, is there anyway of making it start from the moment the page opens? Thanks! Share this post Link to post
paul2009 29,123 Posted October 24, 2019 This is a YouTube feature that isn't controlled by Squarespace and can't be disabled. The solution is to use a paid plan on another supported video service like Vimeo or Wistia. See https://support.squarespace.com/hc/en-us/articles/206542397-Adding-videos-to-your-site The video will always take some time to preload; the delay will depend on the visitor's download speed. This is what fallback images are useful for. They can be shown until the video is ready to play. 2 codefordummies and brandon reacted to this Hi, I'm Paul, founder of SF Digital, a specialist company building the features that Squarespace didn't include.
