    OneDrive has no slideshow option to automatically advance the display of pictures in an Album or in folders. The pictures in an Album have to be advanced manually.

    Hello,

    Thank you for reaching out. You can also try these.

    As a workaround, what I usually do is move or copy the album’s photos into a regular folder or open them under the Photos tab in OneDrive, then use the Play slideshow option from there instead. This works well if your main goal is simply to view the pictures as a slideshow

    May I ask what you’re mainly trying to do with the slideshow.

    Are you planning to show these photos to other people, such as in a meeting, class, or family gathering?

    Or are you just viewing them for yourself on your Mac for personal use?

    Hope to hear from you.

    To run a slideshow from an album in OneDrive on a Mac, you would typically follow these steps:

    1. Open OneDrive: Launch the OneDrive application or access it via a web browser.
    2. Navigate to Your Album: Locate the album you want to use for your slideshow.
    3. Select the Album: Click on the album to open it.
    4. Start the Slideshow: Look for an option to start a slideshow. This may be represented by a slideshow icon or an option in a menu. Click on it to begin the slideshow.

    If you're using PowerPoint to create a slideshow from images stored in OneDrive, you can insert images directly from OneDrive into your PowerPoint presentation and then run the slideshow from there.

    For more specific instructions or troubleshooting, you may want to refer to the OneDrive support documentation or community forums for additional help.
