Kenni Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 Can someone please help? I am trying to put an MP4 video on the home page. I want the video to autoplay. I do not want to use an embedded video from YouTube or other video hosting websites. I am not sure what else to do to get this task done. Does anyone have any suggestions? Link to comment
creedon Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 Would a code block using the video tag do the trick? Find my contributions useful?

paul2009 Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 @Kenni Yes, it is possible. Before Squarespace added the background videos feature, a number of articles were written explaining how to add MP4 and other types of video. For example, see this one by @colin.irwin from 2014. https://www.silvabokis.com/squarespace-tips/adding-autoplay-video-banners-to-a-squarespace-website Me: I'm Paul, a SQSP user for >18 yrs & Circle Leader since 2017.

Guest Offshorecated Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 You can use YT to host your video to embed which will auto play. Link to comment
