Welcome to our ultimate guide on how to add videos in Google Slides! In this blog post, we will walk you through step-by-step on how to easily insert videos into your presentations to make them more engaging and interactive. Whether you are a teacher, student, or professional, adding videos to your slides can help you effectively convey your message and capture your audience’s attention.
Step 1: Uploading Your Video
The first step in adding videos to Google Slides is to upload your video file to Google Drive. Make sure your video is in a compatible format such as MP4, AVI, or MOV. Once your video is uploaded, right-click on the file and select “Get shareable link” to generate a link that you will use to insert the video into your slide.
Step 2: Inserting the Video into Your Slide
Next, open your Google Slides presentation and navigate to the slide where you want to add the video. Click on “Insert” in the top menu and select “Video” from the dropdown menu. In the window that pops up, paste the shareable link you copied from Google Drive and click “Select” to insert the video into your slide.
Step 3: Adjusting Video Settings
After inserting the video into your slide, you can resize and reposition it to fit your layout. Click on the video once to reveal the resize handles, then click and drag to adjust the size. You can also right-click on the video and select “Format options” to access additional settings such as autoplay, mute, and loop options.
Step 4: Playing the Video in Presentation Mode
Once you have added and adjusted your video, you can play it during your presentation by entering presentation mode. Click on the “Present” button in the top right corner to start your slideshow. When you reach the slide with the video, simply click on the play button to start the video playback. You can also use the arrow keys to navigate through your slides while the video is playing.
Adding videos to your Google Slides can take your presentations to the next level and enhance the overall learning experience for your audience. Whether you are creating a training module, a sales pitch, or a classroom presentation, incorporating videos can help you convey your message more effectively and engage your viewers.
