In the developer's words
You probably don't need this plugin!
As of June 2024, Figma itself offers the ability to create simple interactive prototypes with a couple clicks.
But if you're still interested…
This plugin automatically turns a series of frames into a prototype with Click action connections which take the viewer from frame to frame. The flow that results will follow the visual ordering of your frames on the canvas, according to the flow direction you choose.
Things to Know
Slideshow is intended to provide a starting point for further customization. If you have prototype connections already created, these will be discarded.
Note that Slideshow will run even if you haven't selected the Prototype panel, but the connections it creates will not be visible until you switch to Prototype view.
