As a professional journalist and content writer, I often find myself creating visually engaging presentations using Google Slides. One feature that can really enhance a presentation is adding videos. In this step-by-step guide, I will show you how to easily add videos to your Google Slides presentations.
Step 1: Open Google Slides
The first step is to open Google Slides and create a new presentation or open an existing one. Once you have your presentation open, select the slide where you want to add the video.
Step 2: Insert Video
Next, click on the “Insert” menu at the top of the screen and select “Video.” You will then have the option to choose a video from several different sources, including Google Drive, YouTube, or by URL. Select the source of your video and insert it into your slide.
Step 3: Adjust Video Size and Position
After inserting the video, you can adjust its size and position on the slide. Simply click and drag the corners of the video to resize it, and drag it to the desired location on the slide. You can also use the alignment tools in Google Slides to center the video or align it with other elements on the slide.
Step 4: Play Video in Presentation
Once you have added and adjusted the video on your slide, you can preview how it will look during your presentation. Click on the “Present” button at the top right of the screen to enter presentation mode. Play the video to make sure it works properly and fits well with the rest of your content.
Adding videos to your Google Slides presentations can make them more dynamic and engaging for your audience. Follow this step-by-step guide to easily incorporate videos into your next presentation.
