About This Feature

Overview

Presentation Settings is a built-in feature in WPS Office for Mac that lets you control how a presentation is played during a slide show. It is useful before meetings, classroom sessions, training sessions, and kiosk-style displays.

Core capabilities include:

Manual Slide Show: advance slides by mouse click or key press during a live presentation.
Automatic Slide Show: advance slides based on rehearsal timings for timed playback.
Presentation Settings: configure show type, slide range, looping, animation display, slide advancement, and multi-monitor options in one place.

This feature is useful for live presenting, unattended playback, and dual-screen presenting on macOS.

Capability Summary	Supports manual slide shows, automatic slide shows, and a Presentation Settings dialog for show type, range, looping, animation, slide advancement, and multi-display presenter view.	PowerPoint supports slide show setup and Presenter View for speaker notes and dual-monitor presenting.

WPS Advantages	Advantage: WPS brings manual playback, automatic playback, looping, animation control, and multi-display options together in one slide show settings entry. Distinct: It fits traditional presentation files that need pre-show configuration on Mac.	Compared with WPS: PowerPoint also provides strong presenter and monitor controls, with official guidance focused on Presenter View and dual-screen delivery.	Compared with WPS: Google Slides is more centered on browser collaboration and online presenting, and some advanced presentation features depend on plan availability.	Compared with WPS: Notion is designed for turning document-style pages into presentations, rather than offering a full set of traditional slide show setup options.	Compared with WPS: Acrobat is more focused on presenting PDFs in fullscreen mode, with transitions and initial view settings rather than full slide show controls for presentation decks.

Overall Conclusion: WPS Presentation Settings on macOS is well suited to users who want to configure a presentation directly before presenting, especially for show type, slide advancement, looping, and multi-display setup. If your workflow is centered on browser collaboration, document-style presenting, or PDF fullscreen playback, the official capabilities of Google Slides, Notion, or Adobe Acrobat may fit those scenarios better.
