You can prepare a PowerPoint presentation for a kiosk by setting up a self-running or kiosk-style presentation. This allows your presentation to run automatically, either continuously looping or advancing when user interaction occurs. The steps are quite simple and straightforward:
- First, open your presentation in PowerPoint.
- Go to the “Slide Show” tab in the ribbon.
- Click on the “Set Up Slide Show” option.
- A new window will open up. Under the heading “Show type,” you need to select “Browsed at a kiosk (full screen)” option. This feature will cause the presentation to run in a continuous loop until someone presses the Esc key.
- Next, you have the option to set up automatic timings for your slides. Go back to the “Slide Show” tab, choose “Rehearse Timings,” and then rehearse the presentation. PowerPoint will record the amount of time you spend on each slide, and use these timings during the kiosk presentation.
- Finally, save your settings and your presentation.
Remember, in a kiosk-style presentation, navigation links or action buttons are necessary to move from slide to slide. To make your presentation more interactive, you can also add narration, videos, animations, and transitions.
