Looking to add a video carousel to your WordPress website? A video carousel lets you showcase multiple videos in an interactive format, which is useful for grabbing visitor attention and keeping them on the page.
With the Media Listing block from Nexter Blocks, you can create an interactive WordPress video carousel without additional plugins.
To check the complete feature overview documentation of the Nexter Blocks Media Listing block, click here.
Best Used For:
- Portfolio and agency sites displaying project or case study videos in a swipeable carousel format
- Online course or tutorial sites presenting multiple video lessons in a single scrollable section
- Product or service pages using a video carousel to show demos, testimonials, or feature walkthroughs
Requirement – This block is a part of Nexter Blocks. Make sure it is installed and activated.
To do this, add the Media Listing block on the page.
1. Select Videos from the Type section.
2. Then select the appropriate listing style and select Carousel from the Layout section under the Layout tab. If you also want to display images in a carousel, the same block supports that layout — see How to Create a WordPress Image Carousel for the image-specific setup.
You can select the appropriate image popup type from the Popup Layout dropdown. Use the Default option when you want videos to open in a lightbox when clicked.
3. In the Content tab, select the appropriate content source and add videos to the gallery.
Note: Make sure to select Default from the Popup Layout dropdown and do not add any custom link in the Link field to show the video in a lightbox.
Now, your video gallery will show in a carousel slider. You can manage the carousel from the Style > Carousel Options tab.
For other interactive block layouts, see How to Add an Accordion in WordPress to display content in a collapsible format on the same page.
