There is an option to add a Play / Pause button to your MetaSlider slideshows. You can see an example of this button in the screenshot below:
In general, we recommend being careful with enabling Auto Play for your slideshows as it may annoy or confuse some users. If you do want slides to move automatically, it’s a good idea to provide people with a Play / Pause button so they can stop them using this feature. Enabling this also helps you to create accessible slideshows.
You’ll find this feature in the “Advanced Options” area when you’re editing a slideshow. This feature is available to all MetaSlider themes.
