# Loop a deck for signage and kiosks

[Canonical article](https://slides.com/docs/kiosk-mode)

Kiosk Mode automatically steps through every slide in your presentation at a fixed interval and loops back to the start. It's ideal for digital signage, trade show booths, lobby displays, and other screens that run without a presenter.

While a deck is running in Kiosk Mode, it checks for changes every few minutes and loads your latest edits automatically, so you never need to reload the display.

## Start Kiosk Mode

Select **Open deck...** from the editor or presentation page, then choose **Autoplay**. You can also add `/kiosk` to the end of a deck URL, for example `slides.com/<username>/<deck-name>/kiosk`.

Before starting, set the **Auto-Slide Time**, which is the number of seconds between slide changes. You can also choose whether to go **Fullscreen**, **Show presentation controls**, and **Allow auto-sliding to be paused**.

## Slide-specific timing

To keep a particular slide on screen for longer or shorter than the rest, set its duration in [slide settings](/docs/slide-settings).

## Pause and resume

If you enable **Allow auto-sliding to be paused**, a play/pause control appears in the bottom-left corner. It shows when the next slide will appear and lets viewers pause, navigate manually, and resume auto-slide playback.

## Return to the Kiosk Mode settings

To change the settings after the presentation has started, move your mouse toward the left edge of the screen and select the button that appears.
