Viewing a Slideshow

When you’re sharing more than one photo with a contact, you can display the shared images as a slideshow and watch the show as you continue your IM conversation.

 

Here’s How

  1. On the Share Photos side panel, click the slideshow start button.

    Click the slideshow start button.

    The slideshow begins with whichever photo is displayed and moves to the right, displaying each photo for a few seconds. The selection bar moves from left to right under the thumbnails to indicate which photo is displayed. When the last photo on the right is displayed, it starts at the left and displays them all in order again.

  2. To adjust the speed of the slideshow, click the down arrow on the speed pull-down menu and select the desired speed.

    Select the desired speed.

  3. To stop the slideshow, click the slideshow stop button.

    Click the slideshow stop button.

 

What’s Next

You can save one or all of the shared photos.
