PowerPoint slide transition speeds vary from slow, medium to fast. Most slide show presentations use slow to medium as the transition speed.

Sounds can also be applied to the transitions, such as applause and drum rolls. Apply them to all slides, or to specific slides. Use only if they are applicable to the presentation.
