Use this interactive demo to learn how to set a timed auto-advance on your Google Slides presentation.

Quick summary

Google Slides' built-in Auto-play feature lets you set a transition timer so slides advance automatically at a fixed interval during a slideshow. This eliminates the need to manually click through slides, making it ideal for kiosk displays, self-running presentations, and timed demos.


Steps

  1. In the top-right corner of Google Slides, click Slideshow to enter presentation mode.
  2. In presentation mode, click Options at the bottom-left corner of the screen.
  3. From the menu, select Auto-play options.
  4. Choose the time interval you want for the slides to advance automatically.
  5. Click Play to start presenting with the selected timer.
  6. Your slides will now move forward automatically based on the timer you selected.

📌 Why this matters

Google Slides' Auto-play transition timer is essential for anyone who needs a hands-free, self-running presentation — from trade show kiosks to classroom displays and product demos. By setting a precise slide advance interval, presenters eliminate manual clicking and maintain a consistent, professional pacing. This built-in feature requires no third-party tools and works directly within the Google Slides slideshow interface. Knowing how to configure the transition timer gives educators, marketers, and business professionals full control over automated presentation delivery.
