Review notes
- The source article does not specify exact UI labels or where the mode controls appear, so the steps stay generic.
- Related article titles were inferred from the available crosslink targets; URLs were not provided.
- The original content does not mention permissions or plan limits, so none were added.
Summary
Use Video mode to play a Powtoon continuously like a movie. Use Slideshow mode to pause near the end of each slide so you can advance through the presentation manually.
Before you start
- Open the Powtoon you want to preview.
- Note that these modes apply both when previewing your Powtoon and when playing it on the player page.
Steps
- Open your Powtoon in preview or on the player page.
- Select Video mode if you want the Powtoon to play continuously from start to finish.
- Select Slideshow mode if you want each slide to pause 1 second before the end of the slide.
- In Slideshow mode, use the slideshow controls to advance to the next slide manually.
What happens next
If you choose Video mode, the Powtoon plays through without stopping between slides. If you choose Slideshow mode, playback pauses at the holding point on each slide until you move forward.
Limits and caveats
- Slideshow mode pauses at the holding point, which is 1 second before the end of each slide.
- You must advance slides manually in Slideshow mode.
- The mode you choose affects both preview playback and playback on the player page.
