AboutBuzz Stories Embed


As the developer of AboutBuzz Stories Embed, I wanted to make setup super simple. Just add the shortcode and your reviews show up instantly. Seeing it work smoothly on mobile was a top priority, and the play/pause and like buttons really bring the reviews to life.



We’ve put a lot of effort into fast, helpful support — happy to hear it made a difference during setup. I’m excited to keep improving the plugin based on your feedback!

Web Stories


I created story for an hour because I used it for the first time. I was excited to publish it but after I publish, I see the story for the first time however, when I share it to someone the link display code and no story created. After I refresh, the story is empty that looks like I need to create it again, however, I'm tired so I just uninstall it.


Publish stories turn to code and no story


Easy, elegant, and functionally rich, love using it. 


Love it!
