Squarespace has not been designed to host video files directly. You can host your videos on YouTube (or Vimeo) without them showing on these services. If using YouTube, set the video to ‘unlisted’ when uploading it. You can then embed it using a Video Block, but it won’t appear when searched on YouTube. 

About me: I've been a SQSP User for 18 yrs. I was invited to join the Circle when it launched in 2016. I have been a Circle Leader since 2017. I don't work for Squarespace. I value honesty, transparency, diversity and good design ♥.
Work: I founded and run SF.DIGITAL, building Squarespace Extensions to supercharge your commerce website.

This might be the workaround I've been looking for. I want to showcase videos I've created, but they all contain copyrighted music, which i bought legally of course from iTunes. Can anyone tell me if this "unlisted" mode on YouTube uploads will ignore copyright issues on music content after uploading the video?
