Use this interactive demo to learn how to configure auto-play slide timing in Google Slides.

Quick summary

This demo shows how to set slide timing in Google Slides using the built-in Auto-play feature during presentation mode. You can control how long each slide displays by selecting intervals like every 1, 2, or 5 seconds directly from the slideshow menu.


Steps

  1. In your presentation, click Slideshow in the top-right corner to enter presentation mode.
  2. In presentation mode, click the three dots in the bottom-left corner to open the options menu.
  3. Hover over Auto-play, then choose your preferred timing interval — such as Every second, Every 2 seconds, or Every 5 seconds.
  4. Click Play to start the slideshow with your selected slide timing.

📌 Why this matters

Setting slide timing in Google Slides lets presenters automate their slideshows without manual clicks, making it ideal for kiosks, events, and self-running displays. The Auto-play feature gives users precise control over how long each slide is shown, improving pacing and audience engagement. This capability is built directly into Google Slides presentation mode, requiring no third-party tools or add-ons. Mastering slide timing helps teams deliver polished, hands-free presentations in any professional setting.
