The video does not have a URL but you can reuse a video you've uploaded to the Asset Library by choosing Select from library. About me: I've been a SQSP User for 18 yrs.

emizilla Posted February 28, 2023 Author Share Posted February 28, 2023 I am trying to make a video a clickable link, so I'm embedding it manually within a link. That's why I need the URL instead of the standard "Select from library" process. Here's the html for you to take a look: <a href="http://www.link.html"> <video autoplay loop muted> <source src="https://www.linktovideo.com" type="video/mp4"> Your browser does not support the video tag. </video></a> So far everything is working except that I cannot find the URL to the video in my Asset Library. It's very frustrating... Link to comment

As I mentioned above, Squarespace do not provide a link to the original file on their video content distribution network. Instead these videos are streamed using a Blob URL that is only valid for the user's session. Edited February 28, 2023 by paul2009 About me: I've been a SQSP User for 18 yrs.

Klop_Design Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 (edited) Hey Emizilla, I know this was back in February, so you probably already fixed the issue, but I found a suitable workaround. You can upload the video file to the custom files portion of your site when adding custom CSS. This is under Design > Custom CSS > Manage Custom Files. This will generate a static URL you can use. Let me know if this helps! Edited May 31, 2023 by Klop_Design LeauxFi and miserytakeme 1 1 Link to comment
