Carousel vs. Marquee

A carousel is paged and user-driven: arrows, swiping, and the little dots — it stops where you put it. A marquee scrolls by itself in an endless seamless loop; nobody steers it. It's ambient decoration: logo strips, tickers. If there are dots or arrows, it's a carousel.

How to tell them apart

• Dots, arrows, or swiping → carousel.
• Constant drift with no controls → marquee.
• The content loops seamlessly with no first or last item → marquee.
