Overview
Common Ninja's Video Slider puts several videos into one slider on a Squarespace page, so visitors can move between them without a long scrolling list of separate video blocks.
What it does
- Several videos in a single swipeable slider
- Arrows, dots and optional autoplay
- Timing and styling controls in Common Ninja's editor
- Embeds with a short code in a code block
Who it suits
Coaches, course creators, venues and product brands with a handful of videos such as testimonials, tours or tutorials.
Honest caveats
If your videos all live on one YouTube channel, the Common Ninja YouTube Carousel can pull them in automatically instead. The free plan has usage limits and paid plans are billed yearly per widget, from $24 a year. It needs a Squarespace Core plan or higher.
Common Ninja’s Video Slider assumes you already live in the Squarespace 7.1 editor and want clearer control over carousels, sliders, and rotating media. The copy points to touch-friendly swiping, timing and autoplay choices, and mixed media slides as the main levers.
Most teams evaluate it against manual layout tweaks: the pitch is faster iteration on carousels, sliders, and rotating media without exporting the problem to custom code.
Fit depends on your template and commerce setup; compare Common Ninja’s live examples to your own navigation, commerce, or section patterns before buying.
Use SquareLocator as a starting point, then validate details (refunds, updates, support channels) directly with Common Ninja before committing.
Strongest when your brief explicitly mentions carousels, sliders, and rotating media; weaker if you only need generic “make the site better” tooling.
