As a professional journalist and content writer, I have always been interested in finding ways to make presentations more engaging and dynamic. One of the best ways to do this is by adding videos to your slides. In this blog post, I will provide a step-by-step guide on how to add videos to your Google Slides presentation.
Step 1: Create a New Google Slides Presentation
To get started, open Google Slides and create a new presentation. You can choose a template or start from scratch. Once your presentation is open, navigate to the slide where you want to add the video.
Step 2: Inserting the Video
Click on the Insert menu at the top of the screen and select “Video.” A window will pop up where you can search for a video on YouTube, Google Drive, or insert a URL. Choose the video you want to add and click “Select” to insert it into your slide.
Step 3: Adjusting the Video Settings
Once the video is inserted, you can resize and move it around the slide to fit your layout. You can also choose whether you want the video to autoplay when the slide is opened or if you want it to start on click. You can access these settings by right-clicking on the video and selecting “Video Options.”
Step 4: Playing the Video
When you present your Google Slides, the video will play directly from the slide. You can use the controls at the bottom of the video to play, pause, or adjust the volume. Make sure you have an internet connection when presenting the slide to ensure the video plays smoothly.
Adding videos to your Google Slides presentation can make your content more engaging and interactive. Whether you are giving a presentation at work or school, incorporating videos can help capture your audience’s attention and enhance your message.
