Once you are done editing your Google Slides templates, you might want Google Slides auto-advance or play your presentation in a loop when presenting your slides or sharing them online. Below are a few easy steps that you can take to loop Google Slides when presenting your slide deck or publishing it online.
How to Make Google Slides Play on a Loop
To set your Google Slides presentation to loop, switch to Slideshow mode. You can either click Slideshow from the top menu or use the arrow key to start the presentation in Presenter View or from the first slide.
Once in Slideshow mode, click the three dots at the bottom and select Auto-play. You can select Loop to play the slideshow continuously and even select a time for playing the slideshow using a specific time frame (e.g., every minute).
How to Play Google Slides on Loop when Publishing Slide Deck
It is also possible to play Google Slides presentations in a loop when published online. This is regardless of whether you share them via a direct link or use an embed code to embed your slide deck online. To get started, go to File -> Share -> Publish to web to publish your presentation online.
The Link tab can be used to generate a direct link where you can choose a time to loop your slides. You can also enable playing the slideshow when the player loads and restart it after the last slide.
The Embed tab enables picking a size for your slide deck and the time to loop your slides. Similar to the options in the Link tab, you can start the slideshow as soon as the player loads and restart from the first slide when the slideshow ends.
Final Words
Google Slides slideshows can be looped when played in Slideshow mode, shared as a direct link, or when embedded online. You can pick a time to replay the slideshow based on your requirements. It might be worth previewing the loop to ensure that your slides aren’t playing too quickly and that you can create the desired impact for your audience by looping your slides.
