tromar 0 Share Posted August 19 Site URL: https://marcotronconi.com/ Hello there, I'm new into coding. In my website https://marcotronconi.com/ I would like to add a line of code that plays the thumbnail video (see the upper first thumbnail) only when overing with cursor and returns as a static image when not overing. (similar to the current youtube thumbnail experience..) The url for the YT video is https://youtu.be/rZBLXaa4cgw The media (so the url) is pasted in: Page setting> media Will the code be injected in page settings > advance / or / as a "code" content block inside the interested page? I have the personal plan, so i can only use css. Thanks a lot, and greetings from Italy, Marco Link to post
rwp 281 Share Posted August 19 You can't. Squarespace will not allow video uploads directly, and you can not control what is inside an iframe with code from your site. Free Squarespace 7.1 Anchor Link and Accordion Plugins available here! If I replied to one of your questions with code, it was either CSS or jQuery. To add CSS, go to Design -> Custom CSS jQuery needs some additional steps. Head here: https://code.jquery.com/ and click on minified, under jQuery 3.x and copy that code into Squarespace. After you put that code into the code injection section in Squarespace, you can add the code I supplied. The code from me will need <script> added before it and </script> added after it (only for jQuery). There are two places that you can add the code, one is site wide (adds to all pages). Settings -> Advanced -> Code Injection The other is for a specific page (adds to one page only). Pages -> Gear Icon next to the page -> Advanced Link to post
rwp 281 Share Posted August 19 You can't control gifs either, but you can set the figure's background to a gif and hide/show the static image on hover. tromar 1 Free Squarespace 7.1 Anchor Link and Accordion Plugins available here!

tromar 0 Author Share Posted August 20 @rwp Here's a YT tutorial similar to what i need to achieve. The biggest difference is that i need to put static image and gif as thumbnail of a page, so exterior from the page itself (see https://marcotronconi.com/ thumbnail I am reffering to are the "cover images" form the clickable page) Where should i code inject? From design > custom Css / or / as a "code" content block inside the interested page? Thanks Link to post
baxley 0 Share Posted September 13 Any movement on this? Seems like it would be simple enough to add a button 'play on mouse over' where you insert the youtube/vimeo url.... THANKS IN ADVANCE SQUARESPACE Link to post
rwp 281 Share Posted September 13 (edited) OK, I was finally able to figure this out with youtubes API. I have a client that requested something similar, so I had to really get into this...... https://codepen.io/r-w-p/pen/KKzeVmb Currently not working 100% in firefox, you have to click play to get it to start working. Not sure whats up with that yet. Edit: fixed on firefox...... I hope..... Edited September 13 by rwp dnmddy 1 Free Squarespace 7.1 Anchor Link and Accordion Plugins available here!

Those are limitations of the YouTube API. Squarespace will not let you host videos, short of setting up your own hosting, that's about what we are limited to.
