What is a Carousel Video

A carousel video is simply a creative form of advertising. You may recognize a video carousel when you see a slideshow of pictures, videos, headlines, taglines, call to action, or links rotating on a website or advertisement. This form of advertising allows multiple pictures and videos to be shown in one single ad. These are particularly useful on Facebook and Instagram as they have shown high success rates. Facebook describes carousel videos as a “richer storytelling experience”. For a carousel video it is important to share important messages, use high quality photos or videos, and keep everything intriguing.

If you are having trouble choosing one picture, video, or message to share to your audience, try using a video carousel. Carousel videos are more likely to receive more engagement simply because there is more content to take in, therefore the viewers spend more time watching the ad and potentially interacting with it.
