How to Auto-Play Slides in Google Slides
Use this step-by-step demo to learn how to auto-play slides in Google Slides.
📌 Why this matters
Auto-playing presentations lets you create professional displays for lobbies, trade shows, or kiosks without constantly manning the computer. You can also use timed slides during virtual meetings to maintain steady pacing and avoid awkward transitions. Beyond the obvious convenience, automatic timing forces you to design more focused slides since each one gets equal screen time. This constraint actually improves your storytelling by eliminating the temptation to rush through some sections while dwelling too long on others, creating a more balanced viewing experience.
