Squarespace background videos autoplay silently and loop forever, and visitors get no say in the matter. This plugin from SQPlugins hands control back, adding play/pause and mute/unmute buttons directly over background videos in banners and hero sections, with support for Vimeo, YouTube and natively uploaded video. Button colours, opacity, size and placement (top-left, top-right, bottom-centre and more) are all adjustable through the style generator, unmuting activates the audio without restarting the video, and the icons update in real time to reflect the current state. Beyond the design benefit, a pause control is a genuine accessibility improvement, and opt-in sound opens up what background video can actually do. $19 as a one-time payment for a single site, or $99 for an agency licence covering unlimited client sites.

FAQs

A play/pause button and a mute/unmute button, placed directly over Squarespace background videos in banners and hero sections. You can show both or hide either one.
Vimeo, YouTube and natively uploaded background video.
It activates the audio track without reloading or restarting the video, and mute silences it again with one tap. Button icons update in real time to reflect the current state.
Yes. Colours, opacity, size and placement (top-left, top-right, bottom-centre and more) are all adjustable through the style generator.
Motion that cannot be paused is a recognised accessibility problem. A pause control makes a video-led design more comfortable for everyone and genuinely usable for people sensitive to motion.
Both licences are one-time payments with no subscription. The $19 solo licence covers one production website, and the $99 agency licence covers unlimited websites including client sites, with support direct from developer Dmytro Kyselov.
