YouTube/Squarespace integration inspo?

Recommended Posts

Can anyone please share examples of websites that integrate their YouTube channel in an interesting way?

Looking for neat ways to use the Summary blog, Video pages, or any other design strategies you find interesting.

For context, I'm a piano teacher and I'm looking for a new way to present my educational videos. I'm currently embedding my YouTube links into a blog post and then featuring the most recent on my home page in a Summary block.

I feel like a "Most Recent Posts" collection is kind of boring and doesn't really invite people to explore further, but I'm not really sure how to organize my videos in a way that isn't visually overwhelming. Would love to see any websites you already enjoy that use video in an inviting way.

Thanks in advance!

Currently I don't see any blocks can integrate with Youtube Video, you try using a 3rd party tool to do this.

For example this widget tool (referral link), it has a free version.

You can create a lot of layout with it

Thanks for your suggestion and for the sample images!

You're right, I misunderstood the purpose of video pages, and Summary blocks are only linking to my blog, not my YouTube. Thanks for your insight. I'll consider using a 3rd party tool and I'll use your referral link if I do so.

Cheers!

In case you want to use Summary Block, there 2 options

(1) Use Summary Block, but when clicking summary item >> It will open video in Youtube

If this when you add item (eg: Blog Post, if Summary Block pull items from Blog Page), it has option Source URL, you can enter video url there.

(2) Use Summary Block, and when clicking on each Summary item >> Open Youtube video on a Lightbox

This will require to use custom lightbox plugin.

Here is an example of lightbox on hover (not video, but we can add video easier)
