Overview
Video Gallery from Elfsight lets you bring videos from sources including YouTube, TikTok, Instagram Reels, Vimeo and Twitch into a gallery on a Squarespace page. You can set it up as a gallery, carousel or video portfolio, giving visitors a place to browse selected clips without building a native video collection in Squarespace. This is an embeddable widget hosted on Elfsight's platform, not native Squarespace code. You build and adjust it in Elfsight's online editor, then add its embed code to a Squarespace Code Block. In the editor, you can choose a template, connect video sources, group sources in tabs, filter videos by keywords or publication date, and set their sort order.
Who it suits
This widget may suit creators, businesses and agencies that already publish video across supported platforms and want to bring selected clips together on a Squarespace page. It can also be useful for a portfolio or product page where video is part of the content. A free plan is available to start with.
One honest caveat
The widget is hosted by Elfsight, rather than running as native Squarespace code, and its content depends on the video sources you connect and configure. The editor offers options such as source tabs, keyword filters and date filters, so setting up the mix you want takes some initial work. Free-tier widgets carry Elfsight branding and monthly view limits; paid plans remove those. If your Elfsight account lapses, the widget stops showing.
Installation
Build the gallery in Elfsight's online editor by choosing a template and connecting your video sources. When it is ready, copy the embed code and paste it into a Code Block on your Squarespace page. Later edits in the Elfsight editor update automatically, so you do not need to replace the code for each change.

In Elfsight's editor, choose a template and connect the sources you want to use. The widget can group sources by platform in tabs. You can also include or exclude videos by keywords, set a publication date filter and choose the sort order by publication date. These controls help you decide which videos appear and how they are organised.
Visitors can browse the videos in the gallery, with examples on the vendor page showing video titles, channel names, descriptions and durations. The Squarespace page also describes videos playing in a popup. Supported source types vary, so check that the platform or video format you plan to use is listed before building your gallery.
