- In your Google Slides presentation, click on "Slide" in the top menu.
- From the dropdown menu, select "Transition."
- You'll notice a "Transition" pane on the right side of the screen. Here, you can set the transition effect between your slides.
- Next to each slide, you'll see a drop-down menu under "Advance." Click on it and select "Automatically."
- Or directly play the slideshow and choose autoplay option.

- After choosing "Automatically," you can set the time delay for each slide. This is the duration each slide will be displayed before automatically moving to the next one.
- Adjust the timing according to your preference. You can choose from a range of times, such as 1, 2, 3, 5, or 10 seconds.
- Once you've set the transition timings for all the slides, click the "Apply to all slides" button if you want the same timing for all slides.
- Alternatively, you can customize the timing for individual slides by selecting them and adjusting the timing individually.
- Before your big presentation, click on the "Present" button in the top right corner to test your slides. Ensure that they play automatically and that the timing is as desired.
