# How to download Squarespace video?

Mar 2

Written By Beyondspace

To download a video from Squarespace, you can use the direct URL of the video. Here’s how you can do it:

### Download video from Squarespace

#### **Find the Video URL**

You need to obtain the direct URL of the video hosted on Squarespace. This typically ends with `/playlist.m3u8`. You can find this URL by inspecting the video element in your browser.

- Right-click on the video and select "Inspect".
- Look for the `data-poster` attribute or the `src` attribute in the video element to find the thumbnail URL, then modify it to get the stream URL by replacing `/thumbnail` with `/playlist.m3u8`.

You can also use the Améliorateur de bibliothèque d'actifs  plugin, which allows you to quickly copy the URLs of images and videos directly from your Squarespace site.

#### **Use a Media Player to Download**

With the direct URL in hand, use a media player like VLC to open and download the video:

- Open VLC, go to Media > Open Network Stream.
- Paste the /playlist.m3u8 URL and start streaming.
- Use VLC’s Convert/Save feature to download the video to your local device.

#### **Let visitor download videos**

To enable direct downloads from your site for users, advanced custom coding may be required to expose video URLs or trigger download prompts on click.

### Video Lightbox Support:

Squarespace videos delivered via HLS can be integrated into video lightbox galleries using plugin Lightbox Studio

- Lightbox Studio allows embedding hosted videos inside sleek, responsive popup overlays on product pages, galleries, or sections, enhancing the user experience.
- This premium plugin supports Squarespace 7.1 templates and works with video URLs including those with /playlist.m3u8 streams

For more detailed guidance, you can refer to this Beyondspace article on finding direct URLs of Squarespace hosted videos.
