Note: The Scrolling Text component is only available in the latest component version with the Styling Panel. Contact your CSM if you need help upgrading.
This animation-driven component lets you bring text to life by continuously moving it horizontally or vertically across your slide. Whether you’re highlighting breaking news, showcasing announcements, or adding a modern flair to your decks, Scrolling Text keeps your audience engaged with smooth, customizable motion.
Step 1: Add the Scrolling Text Component
Open the Component Store: Begin by accessing the Component Store, search for “Scrolling Text”, and click to add it to your slide.
Step 2: Size and Position the Component
Click and drag the component’s handles to size it exactly how you want. Then, move it to the perfect spot on your slide so it aligns with your layout and design flow.
Step 3: Add Your Text Content

Scroll Speed: Adjust how quickly your text moves—slow for emphasis or fast for urgency
Text Gap: Control the spacing between each text row for readability or compactness

Make your text stand out by fine-tuning appearance settings:
Text Size & Font: Select a font and size that matches your brand identity and ensures readability
Text Color: Pick a color that contrasts with your background or complements your palette
Background Color: Add a solid or translucent background to frame your scrolling text and improve legibility
