How Do I Enable Autoplay on My Avatar Blocks Widget in Feedspace?
Overview
The Avatar Blocks widget displays your testimonials in a structured block grid, showing each reviewer’s avatar alongside their review text in a clean, side-by-side layout. By default, visitors see all blocks at once and must scroll or interact to explore more reviews. The Autoplay option in Widget Design Settings changes this by rotating reviews automatically, cycling through your testimonials without any visitor interaction required.
When Autoplay is turned on, a Speed slider appears with four settings: Delayed, Slow, Medium, and Fast. This gives you precise control over how quickly the Avatar Blocks grid transitions between reviews, so you can match the pace to your page context. A slower speed works well on landing pages where visitors spend more time reading, while a faster speed suits high-traffic pages where you want to surface more reviews quickly. Enabling Autoplay ensures your full set of testimonials gets seen, even by visitors who never scroll or click.
How to Enable Autoplay on Your Avatar Blocks Widget
Step 1: Open the Widgets Section
Log in to your Feedspace account. In the left-hand navigation, click Widgets to open the widgets listing page, where all your created widgets are displayed.
Step 2: Edit Your Avatar Blocks Widget
Find your Avatar Blocks widget in the list. Click the Edit button (or the widget name) to open the widget editor. Confirm that the widget type shown is Avatar Blocks before proceeding.
Step 3: Go to the Design Tab
Inside the widget editor, locate the tab bar near the top of the panel. Click the Design tab to open the Widget Design Settings for your Avatar Blocks widget.
Step 4: Find the Autoplay Reviews Toggle
Scroll through the Widget Design Settings until you see the Autoplay reviews toggle. This setting controls whether the Avatar Blocks grid rotates through testimonials automatically.
Step 5: Enable Autoplay and Set the Speed
Click the Autoplay reviews toggle to turn it on. Once enabled, a Speed slider will appear directly below the toggle. Drag the slider to select your preferred rotation speed: Delayed, Slow, Medium, or Fast. Choose the speed that best matches how long you expect visitors to spend reading each block of reviews.
Step 6: Save Your Changes
After selecting your autoplay speed, click Save to apply the changes to your Avatar Blocks widget. The widget embedded on your site will now rotate through reviews automatically at the speed you selected.
