{% hint style="info" %}

{% endhint %}

* **Avatar:** Upload the influencer or author profile picture.

## Best practices

✅ Keep videos short (under 10s) for better performance and engagement.

✅ Link each video to a product to increase click-through.

## FAQs

### Do video autoplay?

👉 Yes, on desktop they autoplay when users hover over the card.

### **Why isn’t my video playing on mobile?**&#x20;

👉 Mobile browsers often block autoplay by default. Use the image fallback or encourage touch-to-play.
