What is the url of the individual video uploaded in a page?

I have a video uploaded in a page. How do I provide a link to video? (not to the page where the video lives, but to the specific video).

How did you upload video?

I clicked Video, and then Add Video.

The video is scrolling down, right- this is exactly the problem I have, I cannot write a link to just the video.

You mean get video url, or make video clickable to custom url?

I want to know what is the url of the video.

As I said in my original post: if I want to give the link to my video to someone, what url that would be?

Hi,

Video url has been encoded in this way, there is no way to get video url

I Usually upload file (video, code, image, pdf...) use this way, then I can get its url

This looks like a (complicated) solution to the (simple) problem. But I cannot pass the first step. How do I add a Video Page? I do not see the "Videos" option that the page you linked mentions.

Sadly, this means you are on Squarespace version 7.0. It doesn't have videos pages 🥲

Sadly... they expect me to REBUILD my website to get the 7.1 upgrade??? From scratch? There is no way to move all pages, galleries, etc? 

I think I am done with square space. 7.0 is super rigid and the upgrade to a more flexible one is not available to ones that have been paying for years?

SS should do a little better than this. 

Hi,

Is there a way to find out the direct path of a video file uploaded in media library. something like: 

<video loop>
      <source src="https://<filepath>/<filename>.mp4" type="video/mp4">
    </video>

Thanks

No. As explained above, a Squarespace do not make a video URL available. Instead they stream the video file using a Blob URL that is only valid for the user's session.

It took a long time but there is now an update path for some v7.0 sites using particular templates.
