When I tap my screen, why does the slideshow stop?

This is so that you can exit the slideshow. Without it, you wouldn't be able to stop it easily.

Question

Is there a min/max size and resolution for photos in a slideshow? What do you find are the best for you?

THE BEST SOLUTIONS

Community Answer

The minimum and maximum size and resolution for photos in a slideshow will depend on the platform or tool that you are using to create the slideshow. In general, it is a good idea to follow the guidelines provided by the platform or tool to ensure that your photos display properly. However, there are some general best practices that you can follow when creating a slideshow. To ensure that your photos look sharp and clear in the slideshow, use high-quality images with a resolution of at least 1920 x 1080 pixels. To ensure that your slideshow loads quickly and smoothly, optimize your images for the web by compressing them and reducing their file size.

To arrange slides in PowerPoint on an iPad, click and drag the slides in the Slides section to your preferred order. In Google Slides, you can click the four boxes icon at the bottom right corner to view all slides, then click and drag them as needed.

Question

How can I add my own music to my slideshow?

Jacqueline Mitchell

Community Answer

In PowerPoint, you can add audio by clicking 'Insert' and scrolling from 'New Slide' to the microphone icon, which is between 'SmartArt' and 'Link.' It's best to have the music you want already on your device and play it when you start your slideshow.

Question

How can I slow down a slideshow and make each slide display as a full picture?

Amélie F

Community Answer

On PowerPoint, you can use the "Transitions" option to adjust the speed. To apply a transition to all slides, use the "Apply to All" feature. To make the slides full-screen, you can click the play button icon on the top left or bottom right of the screen, or use the slideshow option with the same icon.
