Assemble provides the option to use our trailer widget, which makes it easy to share and embed your trailer with our editable trailer widget.

Not only is the widget embeddable across the internet, but you can also update the content everywhere it's embedded by updating the content on your Assemble dashboard. For instance, if you have a new trailer, you can update it on Assemble and it will automatically update in all the blogs who embedded your widget.

Editing Trailer Tabs

These tabs will show up under your trailer when you use the trailer widget.

You can turn tabs on or off anytime, and they will automatically populate with the content from your Assemble website. So, for instance, if you turn on the 'screenings' tab, the trailer widget will list all the screenings you entered into the screenings app on Assemble.

Trailer Graphics

Here you can upload customized branded graphics for your trailer- for instance a logo for the banner and a custom image for the trailer window.
