How the rotator works

All images and videos that you add to this tab are combined into one rotating slide show. It scrolls through them one at a time, in order. The rotator is the first thing visitors see when they enter your suite.

Recording of rotator slides moving. One slide has a title displayed at the bottom of the image.

Add slides to the rotator

  1. In the Rotators tab, click Add Rotator.

  2. In the pop-up window, give the slide a Title and Subtitle. This text is optional and shows up below each slide.

  3. Select the Type of content from the dropdown menu.

  4. Add the image or video (see detailed instructions below).

  5. Click Save Changes at the bottom of the pop-up window.

  6. Repeat steps 1-5 to add more slides.

  7. When you’re done adding all slides, click Save Changes at the top of the page.

  • Click the gray box to select an image from your computer. 

  • If you want visitors to go to another website when they click the image, add the link in the Redirect URL field. 

Youtube, Brightcove, or Vimeo video

Paste the Video URL.

Wistia video

Paste the Video ID.

Info

To find the Video ID, look at the full URL and copy only the characters that appear after mediaid=. They’ll be at the very end of the URL.

For example:
If the URL is:
https://wistia.com/series/talking-too-loud?wchannelid=9c5u5vvz1d&wmediaid=5r9odssorp
Then the Video ID is:
5r9odssorp

Tip

You know content uploaded correctly when:

  • A thumbnail of the image or video appears in the Rotators tab in the suite editor. Some video types don’t show a thumbnail.

  • All images and videos appear in the rotator at the top of your suite.
