One Widget, Endless Stories: Smarter Playback, Better Control, and Seamless Engagement

March 5, 2025

At StorifyMe, we’re constantly evolving to help you deliver faster, richer, and more dynamic experiences to your audience.

This latest release is packed with updates that bring more control, flexibility, and fluidity to your Stories and Shorts - from merging both formats in a single widget to autoplay, scroll-like playback, and video navigation tools. Whether you’re boosting content engagement, refining storytelling, or optimizing for seamless user flow, these updates are built to help you connect more effectively and convert more consistently.

Stories & Shorts, now in one widget 

More flexibility. One widget. Double the impact. 

Until now, you had to choose between showcasing Stories or Shorts in a single widget, limiting the types of content you could promote in the same space. 

You can now combine Stories and Shorts in a single widget, on your website or mobile app. 

  • This update gives you the power to: Maximize space on your digital properties with one flexible format.
  • Mix content styles to match better user behavior, snackable Shorts, and immersive Stories.
  • Keep things dynamic and fresh, increasing engagement and content reach. 

Just head to your widget settings and select both Stories and Shorts formats. Your audience will love the seamless flow of vertical content.

Auto-play for Stories & Shorts 

More views. More attention. Zero clicks needed. 

Users often miss Stories or Shorts unless they actively tap to engage, leading to untapped reach and lower content visibility. 

Stories and Shorts from now on auto-play the moment users land on your website or mobile app. 

This simple tweak makes a big impact

  • Instant engagement: Content starts playing without interaction, catching attention immediately.
  • Boosts visibility: Auto-play drives significantly more views and increases time spent.
  • Optimized for passive users who scroll but rarely tap. 

Enable auto-play in your widget settings, sit back, and watch your view count rise. 

Continuous Playback with Additional Widgets 

Turn one view into many - with scroll-like experiences. 

Once a user finishes viewing a widget, the journey often ends, missing the opportunity to guide them to more engaging content. 

You can automatically launch another widget after the current one ends, creating a seamless content flow. 

This feature mimics the infinite scroll feel of social platforms:

  • Keeps users engaged longer with back-to-back vertical content.
  • Increases time spent on your platform.
  • Creates a narrative flow between topics or content categories. 

Set up the follow-up widget in your settings to auto-trigger once the first widget is fully viewed. 

Pin Stories to Specific Positions 

Prioritize what matters. Lock key content in place. 

Important branded Stories or promotions can get lost in the shuffle when widget content auto-rotates or reorders. 

You can now pin Stories to a fixed position in any widget, ensuring top-priority content always appears exactly where you want it. 

  • Perfect for ad campaigns, brand takeovers, or partner promotions.
  • Guarantees visibility and consistency, your story stays front and center.
  • Reinforces brand identity by keeping signature Stories pinned at the top. 

While editing a Story, simply assign it to a fixed position in the widget layout. 

Video Timeline Seek Bar 

Let your viewers take control. Navigate videos with ease. 

Without a visible progress bar, users can’t easily track how far into a video they are or jump to the moment that matters most. 

We’ve added a video timeline seek bar, giving users full control to view progress and skip or revisit any part of a Story or Short. 

  • Enhances the viewer experience by adding familiar navigation.
  • Helps users replay highlights or skip intros, just like on YouTube or TikTok.
  • Makes your content feel more professional and user-friendly

No setup needed - it’s live across all Stories and Shorts with video playback. 

Improvements 🌟

  • Image Loading with Animation.
  • Smoother transitions enhance user experience.
  • Flexible Subtitle Positioning.
  • Place subtitles anywhere within the Story canvas, not just fixed zones. 
  • Better Export Options. 
  • More scalable and robust for larger teams or high-output workflows.
