P: Ability to shuffle the order of images in a Slideshow

I would like to have the ability to have a slideshow that you can start from a top level parent folder, and for it to be able to shuffle the order the photos appear.

for example - I have a 'Travel' folder and then albums of each of my travels/holidays contained within. I would like to be able to set a random slideshow shuffle of these photos. We like to sit as a family and view our photos in this way, rather than every photo from one trip, and then every photo from another trip.

Pretty please! I use chrome cast, have over 1K smart view photos uploaded and would love to view a slideshow during a workout, or on our living room tv, etc.

 

I am currently having to use a 3rd party plugin and create a ton of "Random 1, Random 2" collections and then play different albums at different times. This seems like such a simple, but very much needed feature.

Would still love this as an option in Lightroom Classic. Please add randomize slideshow order as an option.

Yes please add the random slideshow feature to this app.  It's been way too long coming!

This thread is two years old and randomized slideshows still isn't possible. What a colossal disappointment. How hard can that be? 🤯

That's exactly the missing feature why I still do not switch to Lightromm CC. I'm using Classic version and copy all images after processing to Apple Fotos. Not really comfortable but it works. But Lightroom is still better for doing RAW image processing then Apple Fotos.
Let's see who is faster with a full implementation I need: Apple with some new RAW processing features or Adobe with a trivial shuffle function...

Oh yes, I'd like that on Apple TV particularly.
