Use this interactive demo to learn how to make your Google Slides advance automatically on a timer.

Quick summary

Learn how to auto-advance slides in Google Slides by setting a timed transition so your presentation runs hands-free. This step-by-step walkthrough covers opening the Transition panel and applying automatic timing to every slide at once.


Steps

  1. Select the slide you want to configure, then click "Slide" in the top menu bar.
  2. Click "Transition" to open the transition and timing settings panel.
  3. Choose a transition style if desired, or leave it on the default setting.
  4. Set the auto-advance timing by entering the number of seconds each slide should remain visible.
  5. Click "Apply to all slides" to save the settings and let your presentation run automatically.

📌 Why this matters

Google Slides auto-advance is essential for anyone running kiosk displays, self-running event presentations, or hands-free demos. By setting a timed transition, presenters eliminate the need for manual slide clicks, ensuring a smooth and consistent viewing experience every time. This feature is especially valuable for digital signage, trade show booths, and recorded walkthroughs where no presenter is available. Mastering slide timing in Google Slides gives teams full control over pacing without any additional software.
