Media Modules
Corekit offers three modules for displaying media content: the Video Module for YouTube videos and custom uploads with consent handling, the Image Gallery with lightbox, zoom and slideshow, and the Carousel for image sliders with configurable slides per view.
Video Module
The Video Module supports YouTube videos and custom uploads. For YouTube, consent management kicks in automatically: without consent a placeholder is shown.
Image Gallery
The Image Gallery displays images in a responsive grid with a lightbox overlay. Configurable: number of visible images, zoom, fullscreen, slideshow, captions and download.
Carousel with Mix Aspect Ratios
The Carousel displays images as a swipeable slider. In Landscape/Portrait mode, landscape and portrait images alternate. Options: Slides per View, Navigation, Dots, Caption and Autoplay.
Carousel with Square Image
The Carousel displays images as a swipeable slider. Options: Image Display Type (Square or Landscape/Portrait), Slides per View (1–4), Show Navigation, Show Dots, Show Caption and Autoplay. Images must be uploaded in the backend.

Frequently asked questions about the Media modules
Yes. The Video Module supports multiple videos as a carousel with Show Navigation and Show Dots for controls.
Yes, all three modules include a built-in intro with headline, headline type, subline, introtext and alignment.
Square shows all images in 1:1 format. Landscape/Portrait alternates between landscape and portrait format, creating a more dynamic layout.
The Gallery shows images in a grid with a lightbox overlay. The Carousel is a horizontal slider with configurable slides per view (1–4). The carousel is suited to sequential presentation, the gallery to overviews.
The Gallery offers: Zoom, Fullscreen, Slideshow, Captions, Counter, Download and Share, each individually toggleable. "Initially visible images" limits the number of images shown initially.
Without consent, a placeholder is shown instead of the video, with a notice and a button to adjust cookie settings. If no consent manager is configured, the video loads directly.
The Video Module supports YouTube videos (via YouTube ID) and custom video uploads. For YouTube, consent management kicks in automatically.
For YouTube videos, the YouTube thumbnail is used automatically as the poster if no custom poster image is uploaded. For HTML5 videos without a poster, the first frame is rendered as a still. Custom poster images can be uploaded and cropped in the CMS backend.
Slides per View (1–4) configures the number of visible images on desktop. On tablet, 2 slides are always shown; on mobile, always 1, regardless of the setting. With Show Caption, the image description is shown below each slide.
