Use this interactive demo to learn how to auto-advance Google Slides every 15 seconds.

Quick summary

Google Slides lets you auto-advance slides on a fixed timer using the Auto-play feature in presentation mode. Setting slides to change every 15 seconds is ideal for kiosks, digital signage, or hands-free presentations.

Steps

Open your Google Slides presentation and click Slideshow to enter presentation mode.
Hover over the screen to reveal the toolbar, then click the three-dot menu icon.
Select Auto-play to access timing options for your slides.
Choose Every 15 seconds and your slides will advance automatically.

📌 Why this matters

Google Slides' Auto-play feature lets presenters set slides to advance automatically at a fixed interval — such as every 15 seconds — without any manual input. This is essential for unattended displays, trade show loops, and classroom timers where a hands-free, self-running presentation is required. Setting a consistent slide timer ensures a polished, professional experience for any audience. Mastering this built-in Google Slides setting saves time and eliminates the need for third-party tools.
