    Adding videos to your website can add visual appeal and make your site more engaging. With Square Online, you can add videos in a variety of ways. You can upload your own video file, embed a video directly from YouTube, or add videos from other hosts using embeddable code.

    Before you begin

    You can add videos to your site from your Square Dashboard.

    For uploading your own video file, Square Online supports all common video file types, with a maximum file size of 100 MB per video and a maximum length of one hour. For videos longer than an hour, try embedding your video from another host, or upload separate, shorter videos using the video section.

    Uploading a custom video file, using a video as background, and embedding external video content and widgets require a Square Online Plus or Premium subscription.
