Overview

Video content previously sat inside the same flat list layout as every other content type. This update gives video-only homepage lists on the mobile app and desktop a dedicated, swipeable carousel format familiar from popular short-form video apps.

What's new

  • Homepage list blocks containing only video now render as a swipeable carousel automatically
  • Tapping a video launches it full-screen in portrait mode
  • Users can swipe vertically to move to the next video in the list

Why / benefits

  • Makes video content instantly recognisable and more eye-catching on the homepage
  • Gives users a familiar, immersive way to consume content, increasing time spent engaging with video
  • Encourages more video content investment by giving it a dedicated, polished showcase

How it works

  • Thrive automatically detects when every item in a homepage list block is video content
  • If all items are video, the block renders as a carousel instead of a standard list
  • Adding even one non-video item reverts the block to a standard carousel

Use cases

  • A culture and social content feed made entirely of short video clips displays as an immersive, swipeable carousel on the homepage.
  • A series of quick tip or micro-learning videos gets a dedicated, binge-friendly showcase.

People/personas

  • L&D leaders and content creators see far more visibility and engagement for video content
  • Employees get a faster, more enjoyable way to consume short video content on the go
