Break away from the standard rectangular grid with the Circular Video Hero Block. Inspired by bold, editorial design trends, this widget acts as a striking focal point for your landing page. It features a perfectly round viewport that masks a background video, creating a "portal" effect that draws the user's attention immediately.
The widget is engineered to solve a common web design challenge: making YouTube iframes fill a specific shape without black bars. It uses a custom CSS aspect-ratio lock (forcing a 16:9 ratio within the 1:1 container) to ensure both YouTube embeds and standard uploaded videos cover the entire circle edge-to-edge.
Centered over the video is a bold, editable text area, sitting on top of a subtle dark overlay to ensure readability regardless of the video's brightness. This is an ideal component for "Mood" sections, mission statements, or artistic intros where you want to transmit a feeling rather than just display information.

Bring this layout to life on your website in just a few clicks.
Edit visually using the extension or native blocks
First, ensure you have pasted the global Redesignee connector script into your site's Code Injection settings. Once connected, you have two easy ways to build:
Native Block: Simply add the native Redesignee Widget Block directly from the fluid engine editor menu inside Squarespace.
Manual Markdown: Add a standard Markdown Block, paste your widget’s code snippet, and the Redesignee floating "Customize" button will automatically appear right over the block.
Both methods let you tweak settings, copy items, and design visually in real time. Saving your changes syncs the updates instantly to your live page.
