Looping Slides in a Connect Room

I am trying to build a lobby layout that contains looping slides. 

1.  I have the "Loop Continuously" option turned on in the PPT and it works correctly. 
2.  I have the "Loop Presentation" option turned on in Presenter and it works correctly.
3.  I have the "Autoplay on Start" option turned on in Presenter.
4.  I published the presentation to my Connect Server (We use the hosted solution)
5.  I open a Share pod and select the file from my Content Library
6.  The Presentation opens in my room but doesn't automatically play.
7.  If I 'unsync' the pod and hit the play button it loops properly for me, but each participant would need to hit the play button for it to work this way.

I'm sure there is something simple that I am missing, but if anyone could clue me in as to what it is I would appreciate it.

I figured it out.  Here is what I did if anyone else is trying to do this...
1.  From the Pod Options menu in the Share pod select the "Show Presenter Playbar"
2.  Hit play.
3.  This leaves the sync button on, but it plays the slides for everyone without giving participants individual control.

Yes - thanks for posting this. Was trying to figure out how to do the same thing yesterday, and now the answer is available. Thanks!

We use something similar, but don't have to hit play on the presenter play bar.  I will see if I can figure out how we have our lobby setup and post it here.

Also take a look at this tutorial created by Jason Parker in November:
http://www.connectusers.com/tutorials/2 … /index.php

There are some tips in there for how to make the presentation loop (using Presenter) and some templates for lobby content.

Re: Looping Slides in a Connect Room

how do you get it to loop if you don't have presenter?
