How to embed an Instagram reel into Squarespace

This tutorial was recorded in Squarespace 7.1 but also applies to legacy sites built on version 7. For more information, visit insidethesquare.co/themes

In this Squarespace tutorial, you'll learn how to add an Instagram Reel to a blog post.

I use a 7.1 version site in this tutorial, but the process is the same for older versions of Squarespace.

Here are the steps from this tutorial:

1. While in edit mode on your blog post, add the embed content block.
2. Click on the Code Snippet option.
3. Open the Instagram post or reel that you want to share on another tab on your desktop.
4. Click on the three dots on the top right-hand side of the Instagram content.
5. Click on the Embed option and choose to show the caption or not; up to you!
6. Copy the code.
7. Back in Squarespace, paste this code into the embed block.
8. Save your blog post.
9. Pat yourself on the back - you did it! :)
