Carousel ads let you feature up to 10 different products or stories, all with their own images or videos, links, headlines, and descriptions, in the same ad. Carousel ads (also known as multi-product ads) are supported in External Website, Lead Generation, Dynamic Product Ad, Local Awareness, Brand Awareness, Mobile App Install, and Mobile App Engagement campaigns.
