I understand how clumsy it looks when you fumble with controls during a presentation. Therefore, with an auto-playing setup, you don’t have to navigate through each slide manually.
You can make your Google Slides play on a loop with two different methods. In this article, I shall discuss them for effortless delivery and a continuous content flow. So, without further ado, let’s get started!
1. Using the Autoplay Option
The Autoplay method is the easiest and most common one. With it, you can transition smoothly and create an impressive school presentation or a professional pitch. Follow the steps below:
- Click the Slideshow menu to play your presentation.
- Hover over the screen and click the ellipsis (three dots) that appear at the screen’s bottom left corner.
- Navigate to the Autoplay option and select the loop time.
- Click on the Loop option.
Now, when you play the presentation, each slide will automatically change after the selected time interval.
2. Using the Publish to Web Option
You can publish your Slideshow with auto-play and loop it in Google Slides. Here’s how:
- Go to the “File” menu.
- Click the Share option and go to the Publish to Web button.
- Set the time for auto-advance slides.
- Ensure that you check the Start slideshow as soon as the player loads to start the Slideshow automatically.
- Check the Restart the Slideshow after the last slide box.
- Click Publish.
- That is it. You can share the presentation with the link or any way you prefer.
Additionally, if you have created too many pages or want to present only certain pages, you can hide unwanted slides.
