Notes on Image Carousels in new Google Sites
For best results choose images of the same size and aspect ratio so all images work well on each slide.
You cannot add links to the images in a carousel.
Maximum of 20 images
Images chosen from a Google Photos album or a Google Drive folder are not connected in any way to to the source images, so you do not get more images as you add more images to those Albums or Folders.
The Very slow transition speed is about 4 seconds per image and Fast is 0.5 seconds.
