Overview
Reels brings the TikTok / Instagram-Reels experience to your site: a full-height, vertical feed of short videos that snap into place as visitors scroll or swipe. The video currently in view autoplays (muted); scroll away and it pauses. Each reel carries an author, caption, call-to-action and action glyphs over the video.
Key features
- Snap-scroll feed — native vertical scroll-snapping, one reel per screen.
- Autoplay in view — an IntersectionObserver plays only the visible reel and pauses the rest (no library, battery-friendly). Muted autoplay with tap-to-unmute.
- Overlay — author avatar + name, caption, CTA button and optional like/share glyphs.
- Accessible — respects reduced-motion (shows a poster + play button instead of autoplaying).
Setting it up
- Add the Reels widget.
- Under Content → Reels, add a row per video: upload/link the video, set a poster, author, caption and CTA.
- Tune behaviour (start muted, show mute button, autoplay-on-view, loop each video).
- Style the feed height/frame, video scrim, author, caption, CTA and buttons on the Style tab.
Availability
Reels is a Pro widget. Enable or disable it under Tiger Elements → Widgets.
