Video query loop
Hi, I'm wondering what's the best way to create a section in my website with a carousel of video from YouTube. I tried the query loop with a hotspot element in it but I can't make it work the way I'd like to. Can you help me figuring out how?

Hi,
If you want to have a query loop with a video, use the Slides post type, add a video to your slides, and in the Query Loop use the video element.
Best regards
the thing is that I have already a section of the website where I'm using the Slides post type. Not sure if I can differentiate these elements from the ones in the previous one
I've done it adding the videos to the testimonial post type. made the query post but the right thumbnail doesn't show - no matter the tag I'm giving the element
Please attach a link to your website so we can check it out. If the page is offline(localhost), then our help will be limited. You will have to contact us when the page is online. Also, please make sure that the page is not under maintenance before you provide us with the link.
It is always a good idea to also attach a screenshot showing your issue.
Thanks
thanks! The website is giuliadiomede.it
and here's a couple screenshots to make you understand what the problem currently is.
As you can see I set the section as a query loop, asking to fetch the infos from the testimonials page, but once I try to edit the element giving him a thumbnail as preview then it doesn't work as I thought / hoped it would
I do not know how you want to use Hotspot element here, but if you want to display a video after clicking on the image, it should be done like this:

sadly it's not what I'm trying to do. I'd like to create a horizontal scroll with 5 videos. Don't know which is the best way to do it
If you want to have videos, then you should do as I described here:
I know that you said that you already use the Slides post type, but you can still separate videos from other slides by creating a special category and selecting it in the Query Loop.
Best regards
