Why People Love Elfsight
Squarespace websites are built to look polished, and your video content deserves the same treatment. With Elfsight Video Gallery, you can turn tutorials, portfolio pieces, product videos, customer stories, interviews, and social clips into one attractive gallery that feels at home in your website design.
Bring videos together from YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, Vimeo, Twitch, or a custom source without managing separate embeds across the page. Choose how your gallery looks, pin the videos you want to feature, and use filters and sorting to make larger collections easy to explore. The mini-player lets visitors keep watching as they browse, while flexible playback settings help you decide what happens when each video ends.

How to Add a Video to Squarespace
Creating and embedding your Video Gallery on Squarespace takes just a few steps:
- Choose a Template: Open the Elfsight editor and select a template that complements your website.
- Add Your Videos: Paste links from YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, Vimeo, Twitch, or use Custom Source to build your collection.
- Customize the Gallery: Adjust the layout and appearance, set up filters and sorting, enable the mini-player if needed, and choose what happens after playback.
- Copy the Installation Code: Click “Add to website for free” and copy the code generated by Elfsight.
- Add It to Squarespace: Open the page where you want the gallery, add a Code block, paste your Elfsight installation code, adjust the block to fit the section, and save your changes. Elfsight provides specific instructions for both Squarespace 7.0 and 7.1.
This Squarespace video embed method lets you display several videos as one managed gallery instead of adding each embed separately.

Does Video Gallery work with Squarespace 7.0 and 7.1?
Yes, Elfsight provides installation instructions for both Squarespace 7.0 and Squarespace 7.1.
The exact editing steps differ slightly between the two versions, but in both cases you can add your Video Gallery to the required part of your website using the Elfsight installation code.
Do I need a specific Squarespace plan to add the gallery?
The standard Elfsight installation method using a Code block is available on Squarespace Core, Plus, and Advanced plans. Elfsight also provides an alternative installation method for websites using the Basic plan.
What video sources does the Elfsight gallery support?
Video Gallery supports YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, Vimeo, Twitch, and Custom Source.
You can collect videos from several supported platforms and present them together as one consistent gallery on your Squarespace website.
Can I combine videos from different platforms in one gallery?
Yes, you can include videos from YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, Vimeo, Twitch, and custom sources in the same gallery.
This is useful when your portfolio, tutorials, customer stories, social content, or other videos are spread across different channels but you want visitors to explore them in one place.
Can I add a video to Squarespace without YouTube?
If you’re wondering how to add videos to Squarespace without YouTube, Video Gallery also supports Instagram, TikTok, Vimeo, Twitch, and custom sources.
Choose one of the supported alternatives, add the relevant video link in the Elfsight editor, and include it alongside the rest of your gallery content.
Can I upload video files directly to Elfsight?
No, Video Gallery works with video links rather than direct file uploads.
Host or publish your video through a supported source first, then paste its URL into the Elfsight editor to add it to your gallery.
What is Custom Source in Video Gallery?
Custom Source gives you an additional way to add supported video content when it doesn’t come from one of the listed platforms.
Choose Custom Source in the editor, add the required video link, and include it alongside videos from your other sources.
Can I make selected videos appear first?
Yes, you can pin the videos you want visitors to notice first in your gallery.
Select the relevant content from your video list and pin it in the editor. The pinned videos will appear at the beginning of the gallery, making it easy to highlight featured projects, new releases, tutorials, campaigns, or other priority content.
Can I use filters and sorting in my Video Gallery?
Yes, filters and sorting make larger collections easier for visitors to navigate.
They can be especially useful for portfolios, tutorial libraries, product collections, educational content, or any gallery that brings together videos covering different subjects.
Can visitors keep watching with the mini-player?
You can enable the mini-player to keep the active video visible while visitors continue exploring other content on the page.
This gives users a smoother way to browse your Squarespace website without immediately interrupting what they’re watching.
What happens after a video finishes?
Use the Video Behavior settings to decide what happens at the end of playback. You can replay the current video, play the next video, show an end card, or display an end card and then continue to the next video.
The end card can also include a promotional banner that points visitors toward another page, portfolio project, product, service, offer, campaign, or other relevant next step.
Can Video Gallery replace a Squarespace video carousel?
Yes, if you have several videos to present, the Elfsight Video Gallery gives you a broader way to organize the collection.
Instead of limiting visitors to a simple sequence of slides, you can bring multiple video sources together, pin important content, add filters and sorting, and let users choose what they want to watch from the gallery.
Does Video Gallery support vertical video on Squarespace?
Yes, vertical video content such as Shorts and other portrait-format clips can open in a mobile-friendly vertical popup.
This gives vertical videos a viewing format that feels natural on smaller screens while keeping them connected to the rest of your gallery.
