- [Instructor] You can also set
your PowerPoint presentations to run automatically.
And this is great for unattended presentations,
such as photo shows, or maybe in a kiosk,
or something like that.
Now, to set this up, we can do it from slideshow.
So, let's go to our Slideshow ribbon
and then we have Set Up Slideshow.
When I click on that, I get this menu.
Now, by default, the show type is presented by a speaker.
We can also change to Browsed by an Individual,
or Browsed at a Kiosk, which is full screen.
Now, if I do that, notice how some of this stuff grays out.
So, I'm actually going to go back to Presented
by Speaker and then for advance slides
I want to make sure that it uses the timings, if present.
That means it will automatically advance.
If we do it to Manually, you would have to click on it.
So, let's click again on Browse to Kiosk.
And then, we can show with,
or without narration or animation.
We can also determine which slides get shown.
So, we can show all the slides.
We can show a specific range of slide.
Or we can do what's called a custom show,
which has only specific slides.
I'm going to leave this on All and click OK.
Now, before I actually do this,
I want to make sure that I set up my transition,
so that we have consistent spacing between the slides.
So, I'm going to shift select all of these slides.
So, I'm going to select the top one
and then shift select all of those.
And then, let's go to Transitions.
Now, I have a number of different transitions
on these slides, but I want to make the timing consistent.
So, over here on the right, instead
of Advance Slide on Mouse Click,
I'm going to click that off,
and we're going to turn on After.
And this will allow us to type in a number.
So, I'm going to type in say three seconds.
Now, once I have this, we can play the slideshow
and it will play automatically.
So, let's go back over to slideshow,
and play from the beginning.
So now it'll go one, two, three, and it should change.
So, every three seconds, this changes.
Now, you can certainly have longer transitions, if you want.
Or you can build transitions into
each individual slide, if you want to do that.
And this is a great feature for using PowerPoint
to do automatic presentations.
