How to Loop a PowerPoint: A DIY Guide for All PPT Versions
PowerPoint presentations are often used in conference kiosks, convention booths and at other marketing events. Looping a presentation ensures that it continues playing, beginning to end, automatically. This is particularly useful for companies that need to set up a slideshow to run without assistance.
Some use cases include:
- Product display
- General announcements
- Informational kiosk
- Location map
