Module Description
Views Slideshow can be used to create a slideshow of any content (not just images) that can appear in a View. Powered by jQuery, it is heavily customizable: you may choose slideshow settings for each View you create.

Potential uses
* News item slideshow (such as the title, image and teaser of the last 5 news articles submitted)
* The Last X number of X submitted (images, videos, blog entries, forum posts, comments, testimonials, etc.).
* Rotate any image, based on any filters you can apply in views.
* Hottest new products for any ecommerce drupal site.
* Rotate contact links, share links, etc.
* Heck, you could rotate entire nodes, categories, image galleries, etc. I wouldn't suggest it, but you have that power.
* Its also a great space saver. Places where you had multiple images or multiple items such as RSS feeds or category listings can now be presented in a slideshow.

The possibilities are really endless, as the more ways you can think of to categorize and add to views, the more you can rotate.

Views Slideshow Installation/Configuration and Further Documentation/Tutorials Drupal 8:

API Documentation
Most useful to developers but definitely good for themers and site builders too. As with the rest of the documentation, it needs a lot of improvement and that is on the to-do list but no timeline scheduled.
