The Views Slideshow module allows users to display Views content as slideshows using jQuery. It includes the Views Slideshow module and Views Slideshow Cycle implementation, which uses the jQuery Cycle plugin. Installation requires enabling related modules, uploading jQuery Cycle files, and creating a slideshow style option in Views. Upgrading from earlier versions requires disabling old modules and installing the new version.
