Social Slide
The social slide block is one card inside the Social Slider horizontal scroll. It supports either a static image or a Shopify-hosted video, toggled by a media type selector that conditionally shows the relevant fields. An optional social handle and URL let you credit the original creator. The block delegates all rendering to the shared social-slide-media snippet so that metaobject-driven slides and manual blocks look identical.
Settings
Section titled “Settings”| Setting | What it does |

| Autoplay | Whether the video starts playing automatically. On by default. |
| Poster | A still image shown before the video loads. Only visible for video slides. |
| Social handle | The creator’s handle displayed as an attribution overlay (e.g. @username). |
| Social URL | When provided, the social handle becomes a clickable link to the creator’s profile. |
