This Itechguide teaches you how to add a video to Google Slides. The guide covers steps to add a video to Google Slides from a PC and the Google Slides App.
There is no direct option to add a video to Google Slides from the App. The steps in the second section of this Itechguide provides a walk around to insert a video link.
Option 1: Add a Video Using a PC (Slides.Google.com)
- Open Slides.Google.com from your PC. Then, if you have not yet signed in, you will be prompted to sign in with your Google Account.
- Open the Slides presentation you want to add a video to. You can open a saved presentation from the Recent Presentations group or from Google Drive.
- To access Google Drive from Google Slides, click the 3 lines on the top left of Slides home page. Then, select Drive.
- When the presentation opens, select the slide you want to insert the video. Then click Insert and click Video.
- The Insert video pop up provides 3 options to insert a video – from YouTube, By URL or Google Drive.
- To add a video from YouTube, type the name of the video in the search box. Then click the search icon.
- Based on your search term, YouTube will return a list of videos. Click on the video you want add to your presentation. Then, beneath the Insert video pop up, click Select.
- Expand the video to fit into the slide.
- If you rather add a video by URL, copy the URL of the video from YouTube or Google Drive. Then on the Insert video pop up, click By URL. Paste the video URL in the field. Then wait for the preview to become available and click Select.
- To expand the video to fit into the slide box, click on the edge and drag.
- Finally, you can also add a video from Google Drive. This time around, click Google Drive. Then locate the video you want to add to Google Slides and select it.
Option 2: Add a Video via the Google Slides App
As I mentioned in the introduction of this Itechguide, the App does not have an option to insert video to Google Slides but you can use the steps below to insert the URL of a video.
The first part of this section covers steps to copy the URL of the video.
