They can upload up to 30 minutes of videos, directly to Squarespace and then protect them with either page passwords or Member Areas.

If they choose to use Member Areas, these billing plans come with additional video storage.

Thank you for your fast reply, Paul!! 🙏

I will recommend a member area.

One last question: Page password means that the whole website is blocked with a password, right? Is there any possibility to just Block the video?

Best, hanna

On Squarespace 7.1, if you click the '+' icon on any store page and select Video On Demand, a popup will guide you through the process of creating a videos page and adding it to a member area:

In addition to site-wide passwords, there are also page passwords that can be used to hide an individual page or collection. The way you do this will depend on whether you want to share a page of videos (for example using a Videos Page on Squarespace 7.1 or an individual video by adding a Video Block to a page.

Of course this differs from Member Areas in that everyone uses the same password to access a password-protected page. Also, it's worth noting that page passwords don't provide a good experience if users need to navigate between different protected pages. Even if the password is the same on each page, they'll be prompted to type it in each time.
