What is a video list?
A video list is a way of displaying playable video thumbnails with descriptions. Video lists have a range of settings that can be used to customise the arrangement of the video thumbnails and the appearance and behaviour of the scroll-triggered animation.
Once a video list has been added, it can then be displayed on your website by adding it to the content of a row column.
