54I want to show this on a screen

A slideshow on your own device, cast to the television, or a TV that follows you

Before you start

Nothing to switch on: presentation is always in an item's … menu.
Optional: Presentation buttons in the header (Settings → Appearance → Behavior) puts play and skip in the navigation bar instead.
To present on a television you need one paired - see Pair Your Devices.
Works on iPhone, iPad, Android and the web.

Start a Slideshow

Open a pattern, a project, a stash entry or a list, and choose Play from its actions. The item goes fullscreen, its photographs drift slowly across the screen, and it moves on by itself. Where you started from a list, it plays the whole list.

Tip: Turn on Presentation buttons in the header if you use this often - it adds play and skip beside the title, so a slideshow is one tap rather than two. The action stays in the menu either way; the switch only decides where the button lives.

Set the Pace

Settings → Appearance → Slide Timing holds two dials. Time per item is how long one pattern holds the screen. Time per photo is how long each of its photographs is shown - so an item with many photos shows more of them, and an item with one photo simply holds it. The screen tells you how the two combine: up to N photos per item, N seconds each; fewer photos are each held longer.

Worth knowing

Why there is a floor: Photographs cross-fade into each other. Below about five seconds the next picture starts fading in before the last has finished, and nothing is ever cleanly on screen - so very short dwells are not offered.
Knit night pacing: Slower than feels right when you set it. People look up, talk, look back; a pattern that holds for half a minute is a pattern somebody actually saw.

Put It on the Television

With a television paired, Play first asks where: This Device, or the television by name. Choose the television and it plays there - with the remote controls on your phone, so you can skip ahead or pause without getting up.

What travels with it is your setup, not the television's: your timings, how many photos each item gets, whether notes are shown, and your theme. A television with its own preferences keeps them for its own slideshows.

Let the TV Follow You

The same chooser offers Follow along. Turn it on and whatever you open on your phone appears on the television - you keep browsing in your hands while the room watches the big screen. It is the better choice for a group: nobody waits for a slideshow to reach the pattern they asked about.

Stop following ends it, and the television goes back to its own screen.
