Let’s select Normal.

2. Then add the text in the **Text** field.

3. After that enable the **Enable/Disable** toggle from the **Marquee** tab.

> *Note: In the Multiple option you’ll find the Marquee option in each text repeater item.*

> *Note: We recommend using the On Transition option as the marquee tag is not very SEO friendly.*

Let’s select Default here.

From the **Direction** dropdown, you can select the marquee scrolling direction. From here you can set the marquee direction to left, right, top and bottom.

Then from the **Behavior** dropdown, you can set the scrolling behavior. Here you’ll find three options - 

- **Scroll** - This will add a scrolling effect.

- **Slide** - This will create a sliding effect.

- **Alternate** - This will make the text move in both directions alternatively.

 In the **Loop** field, you can set how many times the animation will play.

> *Note: You can set the loop to 0 or -1 to set an infinite loop.*

From the **Speed** field, you set the animation speed.

Then from the **Animation Duration** field, you can set the animation duration.

You can set the marquee animation horizontal area for responsive devices in the **Width** field.

Based on your settings you’ll see a beautiful marquee text.

## Frequently Asked Questions

**Q: What if the marquee text isn't moving as expected?**
A: If the marquee text isn't moving, ensure that the Enable/Disable toggle in the Marquee tab is activated. This toggle is crucial for enabling the scrolling effect. Additionally, check your settings in the Type dropdown; using the 'On Transition' option is recommended for better SEO performance, as the 'Default' marquee tag might not work as intended in all cases.

**Q: Can I use the marquee text effect to highlight important announcements?**
A: Using marquee text is a great way to highlight important information on your webpage, as it grabs visitors' attention with its motion. The Advanced Typography widget from The Plus Addons for Elementor allows you to create this effect easily, making it suitable for announcements or promotional messages.

**Q: What settings work best for creating a smooth marquee effect?**
A: For a smooth marquee effect, set the Speed field to a moderate value that balances visibility and motion. Additionally, consider using the 'On Transition' option for the marquee type, as it provides a smoother CSS-based animation compared to the 'Default' marquee tag. Adjusting the Loop field to 0 or -1 can also create an infinite loop, enhancing the continuous scrolling effect.

**Q: Are there any limitations to using the marquee text effect?**
A: One limitation of the marquee text effect is that the 'Default' marquee tag is not SEO-friendly, which may impact how search engines index your content. It's advisable to use the 'On Transition' option instead, as it provides better performance and SEO compliance. Additionally, ensure the Advanced Typography widget is installed and activated to access these features.

**Q: Does the marquee text effect work on mobile devices?**
A: The marquee text effect can be adjusted for responsive devices using the Width field, allowing you to set the animation's horizontal area. This ensures that your marquee text displays properly across various screen sizes, making it a versatile choice for mobile-friendly designs.
