Display duration

Term explanation

Definition and meaning

Display duration in PowerPoint refers to the length of time a slide remains visible before automatically advancing to the next one. Setting a display duration enables auto-play presentations that run without manual input — useful for kiosks, event loops, or self-running demos. Duration settings are configured per slide in the Transitions panel and can be combined with timing controls on individual animations to choreograph a fully automated presentation sequence.

LIZ AI manages more than timing. It keeps slide content synchronized with live data so that every slide shown — regardless of duration — displays accurate, current information.

Face-to-face

Face-to-face communication refers to real-time interaction between two or more people who are physically present in the same location. It is considered the richest form of communication because it allows for immediate feedback and the full range of verbal and non-verbal cues — including body language, facial expressions, and tone of voice. In an increasingly digital workplace, face-to-face communication remains highly valued for building trust, resolving complex issues, and strengthening relationships.

Concept Presentation

A concept presentation introduces a new idea, product concept, or strategic direction to an audience for evaluation or feedback. It is typically used in early stages of a project — before a full proposal is developed — to test reactions, align stakeholders, or secure initial approval. A good concept presentation clearly communicates the core idea, explains the problem it solves, and outlines the key assumptions, without yet committing to a full implementation plan.
