(not to the page where the video lives, but to the specific video). Squarespace do not provide a link to the original "injury.mp4" file on their video content distribution network [https://video.squarespace-cdn.com]. Instead they stream the video file using a Blob URL that is only valid for the user's session, which is why you cannot find a URL that you can share. If you are using Squarespace 7.1 and would like to provide users with a way of playing this video full screen, here is an alternative way of doing this. It doesn't provide them with a direct URL to the video file, but it will provide them with a link to a page showing a single video. First add a Video Page to the unlinked section of the Pages panel. Next, add the video to the Video Page. Video Pages are organised into two parts: the Video List Page and individual Video Detail Pages so when you click on an individual video, you should reach the Video Detail Page (VDP) showing a single video. When you are viewing this 'VDP', the URL will include "/v/". You can then share this URL with others. It is the closest you will get to a URL for the video and the benefit is that it will keep users on your site. If you want a video file to be downloadable (not playable), you'll need to use the link editor to upload the file instead as Tuan suggested above, but this is subject to a file limit of 20MB.

Hellen Posted February 19 Author Share Posted February 19 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. Link to comment

Sadly, this means you are on Squarespace version 7.0. It doesn't have videos pages 🥲 About: Squarespace Circle Leader since 2017.

Hellen Posted February 19 Author Share Posted February 19 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.
