Setting up PowerPoint to play automatically without manual intervention is a straightforward process. Here, we’ll walk you through the steps to set your PowerPoint presentation to play automatically:
1. Open Your Presentation
Start by opening the PowerPoint presentation that you want to set to auto-play. If you haven’t created it yet, do so first and then open it.
2. Go to the Slide Show Menu
Once your presentation is open, navigate to the Slide Show tab in the top menu bar.
3. Set Up Slide Show
In the Slide Show menu, click on ‘Set Up Slide Show’. This will open a new dialogue box.
4. Choose Your Show Type
In the ‘Set Up Show’ dialogue box, under the ‘Show type’ section, select ‘Browsed at a kiosk (full screen)’. This option ensures that your PowerPoint presentation will run in a loop until you stop it manually.
5. Set Automatic Slide Transitions
To ensure the slides advance automatically, you need to set the transition settings. Navigate to the ‘Transitions’ tab in the PowerPoint interface. Here, you can set the duration for each slide under the ‘After’ section. Make sure to tick the ‘On Mouse Click’ and ‘After’ boxes. Repeat this process for all your slides in the presentation.
6. Save Your Settings
Once you’ve done this for all your slides, make sure to save your presentation to keep the settings.
And there you have it! Your PowerPoint presentation will now play automatically without any manual intervention. This can be particularly useful for presentations at trade shows, exhibitions, or anywhere else you want your presentation to run continuously.
