Viewing your photos stored in Google Drive as a slideshow is a straightforward process, especially when accessing them on a computer. You can easily start a presentation of your images directly from the photo viewer.
How to Start a Photo Slideshow
Based on the provided reference, the method to initiate a slideshow from a collection of photos, such as an album, involves a few simple clicks once you have the images open within the Google Drive interface or a linked viewing application like Google Photos on a computer.
Here are the steps:
- Open the First Photo: Navigate to the folder or album containing your photos in Google Drive. Click on the first photo you wish to start the slideshow with to open it in the viewer. The reference specifically notes this is done "on a computer".
- Find the Options Menu: Once the photo is open, look for the menu icon, typically represented by three dots (⋮). This icon is usually located in the upper right-hand corner of the photo viewer window.
- Select Slideshow: Click on the three dots icon to reveal the menu options. From the dropdown menu that appears, select the Slideshow option.
After selecting Slideshow, the presentation will begin automatically, transitioning from the current photo to the next one in the folder or album sequence. This allows you to view your entire collection hands-free.
This method is particularly convenient for quickly reviewing an event or trip's photos, like the "album of photos from our Kel dive trip" mentioned in the reference, without needing to manually click through each image.
