This ID must match exactly for the sync to work. Additionally, check that the Remote Type is set to Carousel in the Carousel Remote widget settings. If issues persist, consider disabling navigation options in the Team Member Listing widget for optimal performance. **Q: Can I use the Carousel Remote widget to control other Elementor widgets?** A: The Carousel Remote widget is specifically designed to work with the Team Member Listing widget and other carousel-type widgets.
