SharePoint 2010 Picture Library Slideshow Web Part

There are some new out-of-the-box web parts for SharePoint 2010 that can make your intranet/portal and/or website much more interesting. I have provided some information below on the Picture Library Slideshow web part, which is a favourite amongst our marketing team and clients.

Over the coming weeks, I will add more of these - so please feel free to let me know if there are any particular ones you want me to focus on.

Availability: This web part is available for SharePoint Foundation, Standard and Enterprise.

Description: Use to display a slideshow of images and photos from a picture library

How does this look?


Images can be displayed similar to the screenshot shown, with a simple toolbar (if set) with back, stop and forward buttons.
The images can be set to fade in and out, with different display options and more.
