Continuously Loop a PowerPoint Presentation on iPad using PowerPoint for iPad?

Question

Hello,

I'm trying to use Dropbox and PowerPoint for iPad to keep a presentation rolling on a continuous loop.  I can't find the option for looping the presentation in the app on the iPad.  I tried to set it the presentation on PowerPoint on my laptop to run in a continuous loop, hoping the app would pick up on that when I put it in Dropbox, no such luck. Any ideas?

Thanks a million.

Answer 1

In order to have the presentation loop automatically, you will also need to add slide timings to your slides to advance them. The toggle to loop continuously means when you manually advance slides to the last slide, it will wrap around to the first rather than exit.

Please let us know if you have trouble getting this set up. Thanks!

Answer 2

PowerPoint for iOS should support playback of looped and timed presentations, assuming the timing was set on the desktop. We do not currently support setting these within the app, but that is a feature we are looking into.

Thank you, Derek.  I've set the presentation to "loop continuously until 'Esc' in the "set up slide show" area under the "slide show" menu.  Is there someplace else I need to do this in order for this to work?

Thank you.
