How can I prevent my full-screen slider in Webflow from pausing when my mouse hovers over it?

TL;DR
  • Uncheck “Pause on hover” in the Slider Settings panel to keep autoplay running during hover.
  • Ensure “Autoplay slides” is enabled and verify no custom interactions or scripts are interfering.

Your full-screen slider in Webflow may pause on hover if it has the default interaction behavior enabled. To keep it playing regardless of mouse hover, you'll need to disable the pause-on-hover feature.

1. Disable Pause on Hover in the Slider Settings

  • Select the Slider component on your canvas.
  • In the Right Sidebar, go to the Settings panel (the gear icon).
  • Under the Slider Settings, look for the option labeled “Pause on hover”.
  • Uncheck the "Pause on hover" checkbox to ensure the slider continues to autoplay even when the mouse is hovering.

2. Verify Autoplay is Enabled

  • While still in the Slider Settings, confirm that “Autoplay slides” is checked.
  • Adjust the autoplay delay (in milliseconds) as needed to control slide timing.

3. Double-Check for Custom Interactions or Scripts

  • If your slider still pauses despite adjusting settings:
  • Check the Interactions panel to ensure there are no hover-based interactions targeting the slider or slide elements.
  • If you’ve added custom code, confirm there’s nothing in your scripts that alters the autoplay behavior on hover.

Summary

Uncheck the “Pause on hover” option in the Slider Settings panel to prevent your Webflow slider from stopping when hovered. Ensure autoplay is enabled and no custom interactions interfere with the default behavior.
