Full Screen Galleries creates an automatic full-screen slideshow mode for image galleries in your content. Posts and pages with galleries are automatically transformed into a full-screen browsing mode when you click on an image. Within the slideshow, visitors can see captions and access full-size images. The slideshow allows visitors to easily browse larger versions of your images.

Full Screen Galleries

It doesn't clutter up the admin menu like most other gallery plugins and just works right off the bat. Looks like I will be using this plugin a lot in the future :)

Works like a charm!

Thank you for this simple yet perfect plugin.  Very much appreciated!

Exactly what I needed!

This plugin creates a fullscreen slideshow that displays randomly-selected pictures from your media library. Designed to display pictures related to your business/organization in the background at an event or in your office, there is no need to configure any settings or controls. Image captions/descriptions are automatically displayed as well, and can be configured based on your needs.
Once activated, you can view the slideshow by visiting <code>http://yourdomain.com/slideshow</code>. All JPEG images will be displayed (since .jpg is best for pictures, while .png and .gif are typically used for graphics).
Please note that it is not currently possible to pause the slideshow or go back; the slideshow is not designed for personal viewing. However, clicking/tapping on the image will open its attachment page in a new tab, allowing images to be contextualized or edited easily.
The slideshow can also be embedded into your site via a widget or a shortcode.
You can control some options by adjusting the url of the slideshow. Parameters are controlled via query string (and widget options and shortcode attributes).
<ul>
<li><code>size</code> is the size of the image to load, either <code>thumbnail</code> (discouraged), <code>medium</code>, <code>large</code>, <code>full</code>, or <code>auto</code>, which uses medium or large depending on <code>wp_is_mobile()</code>.</li>
<li><code>year</code> is the 4-digit numeric year in which the images were published.</li>
<li><code>month</code> is the numeric month in which the images were published (between 1 and 12), typically but not necessarily used in conjunction with <code>year</code>.</li>
<li><code>mode</code> defines a subset of images to use, such as <code>featured</code> for featured images only.</li>
<li><code>captions</code> controls the captions display: either <code>auto</code>, <code>none</code>, <code>title</code>, <code>titlecaption</code>, <code>caption</code>, or <code>description</code>. Caption data is read from the image attachment post and can be updated in the media library.</li>
</ul>
Using all options, for example:
