# Advance slides automatically on a timer

[Canonical article](https://slides.com/docs/auto-slide)

You can make your presentation advance automatically by setting an **Auto-slide** time in the editor's Settings panel. This timing applies to every slide unless you configure [slide-specific timing](/docs/slide-settings). Enable **Loop** if you want the presentation to restart after the last slide.

You can also enable auto-slide and looping for a single session using [kiosk mode](/docs/kiosk-mode).

## Slide-specific timing

You can override the autoplay timing on a per-slide basis. This option is available within the [Slide Settings](/docs/slide-settings) menu.

## Controls

When auto-slide is enabled, a progress meter and play/pause control appear in the bottom-left corner of the presentation. Use these controls to pause automatic playback and navigate manually when needed. See an [auto-slide example](https://slides.com/news/autoplay).
