How do I set PowerPoint to auto advance slides?

1. Set up Auto Advance in PowerPoint desktop version

Setting up auto advance in PowerPoint ensures your slides move on their own, perfect for a smooth, unattended presentation.

1. Rehearse and record slide timings

This method allows you to meticulously control how long each slide is shown, ensuring precise flow for your presentation.

3. Configure Slide Show to Loop

By configuring your slide show to loop, your presentation will continue to run seamlessly until manually stopped. This setting is ideal for trade shows or kiosks if you run a presentation without any input from anyone.

4. Export the presentation as a video

Exporting your presentation as a video guarantees that all timings are preserved and the presentation runs as intended on any device.

By following these steps, you can ensure your PowerPoint slides will advance automatically, creating a professional and smooth presentation experience. For future presentations, always rehearse and double-check your settings to avoid any last-minute hiccups.
