Answer 1

To make a PowerPoint slide advance automatically:

Select the slide.
Go to the Transitions tab.
In the Timing group, under Advance Slide:
- Select After.
- Enter the number of seconds or minutes to wait before moving to the next slide.
If manual clicking should not be required, clear On Mouse Click.
If the same timing should apply to every slide, select Apply to All.

If a slide has animations or effects, the automatic timer starts after the final animation or effect finishes.

To control how fast the transition itself plays, use the Duration box on the Transitions tab. A shorter duration makes the transition faster.

If the presentation should open directly as a slide show, save it as a PowerPoint Show (.ppsx):

Select File > Save as.
Select More options or Browse.
Under Save as type, select PowerPoint Show.

Answer 2

You can make PowerPoint change slides automatically by setting a specific time duration in the Transitions tab.

Open your presentation in the desktop version of PowerPoint and click the Transitions tab in the top ribbon. On the far-right side, locate the Timing group.

Check the box next to After, then enter the amount of time you want the slide to remain on the screen. For example, enter 00:05.00 to have the slide remain visible for 5 seconds.

If you do not want the presentation to advance when you click the mouse, uncheck On Mouse Click. You can then click Apply to All if you want the same timing applied to every slide. Alternatively, you can select individual slides and assign different automatic transition times to each one.
