This element showcases customer testimonials as playable video cards, combining a video thumbnail, reviewer details, star rating, and quote into one credible, engaging unit. It's a step up from text testimonials, letting visitors hear and see real customers rather than just read about them.

#### **Why use it:**

* **Builds stronger trust than text alone:** video adds authenticity and emotion that written quotes can't match, making praise feel more genuine.
* **Increases engagement**: a play button and thumbnail naturally invite clicks, keeping visitors on the page longer.
* **Flexible presentation**: choose the layout and video format that best fits your section, whether it's a compact carousel or a full showcase grid.
* **Supports real conversations:** hosted videos can open with a comments section, turning testimonials into a discussion rather than a one-way pitch.

### **Layout Options:**

* **Slider:** rotates through testimonials one at a time. **Slider Type** options include Auto rotate (no controls), Single slide, or Multiple slides (set how many display per row).

* **Video:** upload a new video, select from your video library, or link an external video (e.g., YouTube)
* **Thumbnail / poster:** set the preview image, with drag-to-set focal point for perfect framing
* **Reviewer name, Title / role:** who's speaking and their credentials

### **Video Behavior**

### **Styling Settings:**

* **Video ratio**: Square (1:1), Landscape (16:9), Portrait (9:16), or Classic (4:3)

* **Pause on hover**: stops rotation while a visitor is engaging with a card
* **Show star rating**: toggle rating visibility
* **Hide card footer (video only)**: hide name/role/quote to show just the video
* **Theme**: Light/Dark card styling
* **Play button / Card background**: color customization
