The Featured content section in the Community admin screen, allows community admins to add featured content to a community homepage on desktop. You might do this if there are important items of content that you want community members to see when they land on the community homepage, such as important questions, videos, links, files, topics, and articles.

The featured content carousel is not available in communities on the Fuse mobile app. This means if you are configuring the featured content carousel in the Community admin screen, you will only see an option for Desktop.

A featured content carousel can also be added to the top of the Fuse homepage on desktop, and above the content feed on mobile, using the Featured content screen in the Admin Panel. For more information, see Featured content (Admin).
