the Media carousel widget allows you to create a slider of videos and images.



The widget includes 3 skins:

  1. Carousel is the standard rotating carousel skin that displays a custom number of image or video slides per view.
  2. Slideshow is a slider mask showing a main slide and small image thumbnails below.
  3. Current flow It is a slider skin that shows a center slide on the front and two side sliders on the back.

Within each slide, you can add the image or video and have it link to your media file or an external link. The carousel can display a combination of images and videos at the same time.
If you have Lightbox enabled, this will also be available for this widget.

The Media Carousel widget also has options for optimal viewing on mobile devices.
