How to add Video Lightbox to Video Page

To add Video Lightbox to Video Page in Squarespace, you can do these.

#1. Find Video Item URL.

In my example, we will have:

Item 1. /videos-2-2/v/hosted-with-custom-z9ehj-dk54m-kn9sj-5bl29

image

Item 2. /videos-2-2/v/planet-earth-mejnx-gxhec-h2w7n-cft36

Item 3. /videos-2-2/v/everything-to-sell-anything-427ge-t8t94-ys9pb-dexmy

#2. Use this code to Code Injection > Footer

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.7.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script>
  $(document).ready(function(){
    // item 1
  $('li.grid-item .lessons-image[href="/videos-2-2/v/hosted-with-custom-z9ehj-dk54m-kn9sj-5bl29"]').attr('href','#wm-popup=/videos-2-2/v/hosted-with-custom-z9ehj-dk54m-kn9sj-5bl29');
  // item 2
    $('li.grid-item .lessons-image[href="/videos-2-2/v/planet-earth-mejnx-gxhec-h2w7n-cft36"]').attr('href','#wm-popup=/videos-2-2/v/planet-earth-mejnx-gxhec-h2w7n-cft36');
  // item 3
    $('li.grid-item .lessons-image[href="/videos-2-2/v/everything-to-sell-anything-427ge-t8t94-ys9pb-dexmy"]').attr('href','#wm-popup=/videos-2-2/v/everything-to-sell-anything-427ge-t8t94-ys9pb-dexmy');
