Each slide inside a slideshow can use its own custom playback duration.
Setting appropriate durations helps improve readability, pacing and overall guest experience.
How Slide Duration Works #
The duration setting determines how long a slide remains visible before the slideshow continues to the next item.
Different types of content may require different durations depending on complexity and readability.
Recommended Duration Examples #
Static Images #
Recommended:
- 10–20 seconds
Works well for promotions, welcome screens and simple announcements.
Short Promo Videos #
Videos may use:
- Automatic duration
- Custom duration override
Depending on slideshow settings and playback goals.
Longer Durations for Complex Content #
Information-heavy slides often require more time for guests to read comfortably.
Examples:
- Restaurant menus
- Activity schedules
- Transport information
- Detailed promotions
If a guest cannot realistically read the content before the slide changes, the duration is probably too short.
Hospitality wisdom from the ancient scrolls.
Avoid Extremely Short Durations #
Very short slide durations may:
- Reduce readability
- Create stressful playback
- Make promotions easier to ignore
- Feel visually chaotic
Smooth and readable playback generally creates a more professional guest experience.
