#Slideshow Settings

Slideshow Settings let you fine-tune exactly how your photos and videos appear on your frames. Open them from Settings → Slideshow Settings, or from the settings icon on any frame.

#Photo display duration

Controls how long each photo stays on screen before moving to the next.

Short (5–10 seconds) — Creates a lively, ever-changing display.
Long (30 seconds to a few minutes) — Feels calmer, more like a classic photo frame.

#Transitions

Choose the animation that plays between photos:

Fade — A smooth crossfade. Works beautifully for any type of photo.
Slide — Photos slide in from the side.
Zoom — A gentle Ken Burns-style zoom effect.
None — An instant cut with no animation.

Fade is the most popular choice for home displays.

#Playback order

In order — Photos play from first to last, then loop.
Shuffle — Shown in a random order. Great for large collections.

#Photos vs. videos

Toggle whether videos play during the slideshow or are skipped.
Set whether videos play with audio, at a lower volume, or silently.
Set a video duration limit so very long clips don't dominate the slideshow.

Video playback in slideshows may require a Premium plan.

#How photos fill the screen

Fill — Photo fills the entire screen (edges may be cropped if the photo's shape doesn't match the screen).
Fit — The full photo is always visible, with bars on the sides or top if needed.

For most setups, Fill looks best on landscape screens.

#Slideshow passcode

Lock the slideshow so it can't be stopped or changed without a code. Useful for frames in shared spaces.

To set this up: go to Slideshow Settings → Security and enable Slideshow Passcode. See Security & Passcode for more.

#Resetting to defaults

If you want to start fresh, tap Reset Settings at the bottom of Slideshow Settings and confirm. All values return to their defaults.

#Starting a slideshow

Once your settings look good, head to Frames, tap a frame, and tap Start Slideshow. Or open any album and tap Play.
