How to set up and style the Testimonial Carousel widget in Elementor.
Testimonial Carousel shows customer reviews as slides with the quote, a star rating, and the name, title and photo of the person. It uses native CSS scroll snap, so no slider library is loaded. Use it to show social proof on home, service and landing pages.
