Synced Videos

Synced Videos, also known as Interactive Video, is a custom Gutenberg block introduced in StyleCloud plugin version 1.8.3.


This block is built specifically for the WordPress Gutenberg editor and is not compatible with page builders such as Elementor or Divi.



Requirements
  1. Install and activate the StyleCloud plugin (v1.8.3 or later)
  2. If the plugin is already installed, update it to the latest available version (minimum v1.8.3)
  3. If the update is not available in your WordPress dashboard, you can re-download the plugin from your StyleCloud account and reinstall it over the existing version (no need to uninstall first)
  4. Only one video element can be added to the block. The same video is automatically used as a blurred background, synchronized with the foreground video.


How it works
  1. Open the page you want to edit in WordPress
  2. In the Gutenberg editor click the “+” (Add Block) button
  3. Search for StyleCloud in the block library
  4. Select the Interactive Video block


Features & possibilities


Each panel can contain any type of content, including images, text, buttons, or any other Gutenberg element.


The block also provides several layout and behavior controls:

  • Adjust the blur intensity of the background video
  • Each element added inside the block retains the same options available outside the block (i.e. Gutenberg Text)
