Slideshows are often used to display images at events, such as wedding events or exhibition. Whatever the event may be, you’ll wish to loop your PowerPoint presentation so your visitors aren’t gazing at a blank screen. Here’s how it’s done.

Set Up Your Slideshow to Be Looped

Open your PowerPoint presentation in which you would like to loop. Once open, navigate to the “Set Up” group of the “Slide Show” tab and after that choose the “Set Up Slide Show” button.

The “Set Up Show” window will appear. In the “Show alternatives” group, examine package next to “Loop Continuously until Esc.” Once picked, click “OK” in the bottom-right corner of the window.

Now, when you play your slideshow, it will end just when you press the “Esc” crucial instead of when you’ve finished the last slide.

One caution: With the way we presently have it set up, the slideshow will continue only when someone clicks the mouse button. That’s fine if there will be a speaker present at all times. Otherwise, you’ll need to set up automatic slide transitions.

Apply Automatic Slide Transitions

Head back to the “Set Up Show” window by choosing “Set Up Slide Show” in the “Set Up” group of the “Slide Show” tab.

There are a number of alternatives you need to select, however one essential note is that you must first pick “Using Timings, If Present” under the “Advance Slides” group.

The next option we choose will lock a couple of things in location (which is why you require to pick “Using Timings, If Present” very first).

Under the “Show Type” group, choose “Browsed at a Kiosk (Full Screen).” The “Loop Continuously until Esc” choice will be enabled automatically if you have not currently turned it on, and the choice you’ve chosen under “Advance Slides” will remain the same.

Select “OK” when prepared to continue.

Without the “Browsed at a Kiosk” alternative made it possible for, the automatic slide progressions would be handicapped if somebody were to press the Back secret. With it made it possible for, the Forward and Back secrets are locked, enabling the slideshow to automatically progress ignored without worry of somebody breaking it.

Now it’s time to set the timings of the slides. Head over to the “Transitions” tab. In the “Timing” group, examine the box next to “After” and set the timing at which you ‘d like each slide to advance. Keep in mind that it does not matter if the box next to “On Mouse Click” is examined or not– it will not work.

After that, choose the “Apply to All” alternative in the very same group.

Now, when you play your slideshow, it will continuously loop without interruption. To exit the slideshow, press the “Esc” button.

The “Set Up Show” window will appear. One caveat: With the way we presently have it set up, the slideshow will proceed just when somebody clicks the mouse button. Without the “Browsed at a Kiosk” option allowed, the automatic slide progressions would be disabled if someone were to press the Back secret. Now it’s time to set the timings of the slides. In the “Timing” group, examine the box next to “After” and set the timing at which you ‘d like each slide to progress.
