Merchant Guidance
Video carousels are powerful tools for storytelling and social proof. Use them strategically to showcase your products in action or display authentic customer experiences.
The slider mode works best when you want customers to control their viewing experience, while marquee mode creates an engaging background element that draws attention without requiring interaction.
Always test your video carousel on mobile devices, as this is where most customers will first encounter your content. Ensure videos load quickly and play smoothly across all platforms.
