Using SlideShow WebPart in SharePoint 2010

In this article you will learn how to use SlideShow WebPart to display images from a Picture Library.

Let's create a Picture Library first (Site Settings>More Options):

Create a Picture Library named "PicsForSlideShow".

Upload Pictures using Upload Menu.

The pictures used here are "Windows 7 Pictures" that can be found at: C:\Users\Public\Pictures\Sample Pictures 

Ok. Now that we have created our Picture Library.

Let's go back to the Home Page.

Edit the Page using Page Tab -> Edit Page

Click Add a Web Part and there choose Category "Media and Content" and Choose "Picture Library Slideshow Web Part"

Click Add. It is empty initially because we need to configure it first.

Choose the Web Part:

Then Choose Edit Web Part.

A new Panel will open in the right corner showing us all the properties that can modified for this WebPart.

Look at the "Picture Library" labelled Combobox; there you will see "PicsForSlideShow". So that's everything we need. We just need to Click Apply and then click OK.

Then Click Stop Editing and see your Pictures in SlideShow:

That's it. You've added SlideShow in your Sharepoint Portal successfully.

Hope it helps!
