Display duration
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.

Notes Page view
The Notes Page view in PowerPoint shows a smaller version of the slide with a small area for notes underneath. In the presentation every slide has it's own space for notes. During the presentation the notes do not appear on screen. They are just visible in the presentation mode.

Animated GIF
An animated GIF is a looping image format that displays a short sequence of frames in succession, creating the appearance of movement without requiring a video player. In presentations, animated GIFs can add visual interest, demonstrate a process, or inject humor into a slide. Unlike video files, GIFs play automatically and loop continuously without needing to press play. PowerPoint and most modern presentation tools support animated GIFs natively, though file size should be managed to avoid slow loading.

Interview
In a communication context, an interview is a structured conversation in which one or more people ask questions to gather information, evaluate a candidate, or explore a topic in depth. Interviews can be formal or informal and occur across many settings — job recruitment, journalism, research, and broadcast media. Effective interviewers prepare focused questions, actively listen, and manage time to cover key areas. Interviewees benefit from clear, structured answers that directly address what is being asked.
