automatically using these timings when you run the slide show.
To restart a slide show automatically after the last slide has been displayed:
1) Go to Slide Show > Slide Show Settings on the Menu bar.
2) Select Auto and the timing of the pause between slide shows.

Presenter Console
LibreOffice Impress has a Presenter Console function that can be used when an extra display for
presentation has been connected to your computer. The Presenter Console (Figure 163) provides
extra control over slide shows by using different views on your computer display and on the display
that the audience sees. The view you see on your computer display includes the current slide, the
upcoming slide, any slide notes, and a presentation timer.
For more information and details about using the Presenter Console, see the Impress Guide
Chapter 9 Slide Shows.
