Hello,
For my new project, respondents have to fill in my Qualtrics survey on a mobile phone only. I want to show pictures of products in a multiple choice question (they can select one of the pictures), but they have to be positioned in a horizontal way. However, when I choose 'mobile optimal view', Qualtrics puts it vertically. When I do not select this option, Qualtrics puts the pictures on the same page but makes them very small.
What I want to do, however, is be able to scroll through the pictures. Is there any way I can do this with some code?

Hi there,
When including images as a scale point or answer option, I believe that Qualtrics Dynamic themes will always try to resize the images in a way that best fits them within the container for the scale point/answer option. When the Mobile Friendly toggle is off, the size of those containers will be influenced by the length of any text also included in that scale point/answer option. This can be seen in the below 2 images where the text length of the first scale point is much longer in the 2nd image, resulting in the image displaying larger on Mobile.

You might consider making use of the Carousel style Matrix question here. This question type can facilitate horizontal image scrolling in a way that might be a little more user friendly on mobile devices. It could look something like the below:
