6 of the best Squarespace templates for video

There’s a reason Squarespace is one of the most popular web building and hosting services out there: it caters to users of all web design skill levels thanks to its easy drag and drop page builders, affordable plans, around the clock customer support, and modern template designs. But does all of that mean Squarespace is a good choice for displaying your videos?

The answer is a resounding yes — but you need to know a few things before you get started. 

First, know that Squarespace supports embedding videos, but not uploading them directly to your site.
