The CDN requests are standard asset deliveries with no tracking. ### Privacy Policy This plugin does not collect, store, or transmit any personal data.

Yes. This plugin requires only the free version of Elementor. Elementor Pro is not needed. ### Which Elementor versions are supported? The plugin is compatible with Elementor from version 2.0.0 through the latest release( 3.x). It uses a dual hook registration pattern to support both old and new Elementor APIs. ### Can I use HLS / M3U8 streaming videos? Yes. HLS streams (.m3u8) are supported via HLS.js on Chrome, Firefox, and Edge. Safari and iOS handle HLS natively without any library. The correct playback method is detected automatically. ### Where is the widget in the Elementor panel? Search for “Video Carousel Popup” in the widget search box, or look in the **Video Carousel** category or the **General** category. ### Can I set different numbers of slides for mobile, tablet, and desktop? Yes. The Content tab Carousel Settings section has independent slide-per-view controls for each breakpoint. ### Can I change the thumbnail aspect ratio? Yes. You can choose from 16:9, 4:3, 3:2, 21:9, and 1:1 presets from the Card Settings section. ### Can I change the border radius of the thumbnails? Yes. The Style Card Style section includes a full border-radius control (all four corners, in px or %). ### The popup does not open — what should I check? Make sure the **Video URL** field in the repeater item is filled in with a valid, publicly accessible URL. For HLS streams, also ensure the video server allows CORS requests from your domain. ### Does the plugin slow down my site? No. Swiper.js and HLS.js are loaded via CDN only on pages that contain the widget. If the widget is not present on a page, no extra scripts are loaded. ### Is the popup accessible? Yes. The popup supports keyboard navigation (Enter/Space to open, Escape to close), includes ARIA `role="dialog"` and `aria-modal="true"` attributes, and manages focus correctly. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “DevPress Factory for Elementor – Video Carousel Popup” is open source software.
