How to Make Google Slides Timed

Use this interactive demo to learn how to auto-advance slides on a timed loop in Google Slides.

Quick summary

Google Slides lets you auto-play timed slides using the built-in Auto-play feature, so your presentation advances automatically without any manual clicks. Access the Slideshow menu, open the three-dot options in presentation mode, and set a custom slide duration to run your deck on autopilot.


Steps

  1. Navigate to the Slideshow option in the menu bar — this is where slide timing controls are located.
  2. Enter presentation mode, hover over the screen, and click the three-dot menu to access timer settings.
  3. Click the arrow beside Auto-play to configure how long each slide stays on screen.
  4. Select your preferred timing interval and let your slides run automatically on autopilot.

📌 Why this matters

Google Slides' built-in auto-play and slide timing feature is essential for anyone running kiosk displays, self-guided presentations, or conference loops without a live presenter. By using the Slideshow menu's Auto-play option, users can set precise slide durations so the deck advances hands-free, eliminating the need for manual click-throughs. This feature saves time, reduces presenter dependency, and ensures a consistent, polished viewing experience every time the presentation runs.
