Tap Self-Playing, then adjust the sliders to change the timing of transitions or build effects.
Set any of the playback options:
Loop Slideshow: Turn on to have the presentation return to the first slide at the end of the slideshow.
Restart Show if Idle: Turn on, then drag the slider to set the amount of idle time with no viewer interaction before the presentation returns to the first slide.
To play the presentation, tap
in the toolbar.
To change the presentation back to one that’s manually advanced by tapping or swiping the screen, tap , tap Presentation Options, tap Presentation Type, then choose Normal.
