Each of these elements can have a thumbnail image, title, subtitle, description and buttons.
You can use this type of chat element by clicking on add a chat element and then selecting carousel. Inside the carousel menu we can edit the size of the carousel and also set the aspect ratio. You can then add a notification text to be sent with a carousel.

Apart from the Carousel file size limit being 5 MB, as such, there is no restriction with respect to the image dimensions. You can add an image with any dimension, and it will be accepted.
You can customize the image dimensions through these two dropdown menus:
- Select Size
- Select Aspect Ratio
