How to Easily Embed Videos in Google Slides

Adding videos to your Google Slides presentation can significantly enhance the viewer’s experience by making the content more engaging and interactive. Whether you want to explain a concept more visually or add dynamic content, embedding a video is a simple way to do so.

In this guide, we’ll show you step-by-step how to embed a video in Google Slides and briefly introduce how Tenorshare AI Slides can streamline the process of creating professional presentations.

How to Embed a Video in Google Slides

The easiest way to embed a video in Google Slides is by using YouTube. Here’s how you can do it:

• Open Google Slides and navigate to the slide where you want the video to appear.
• Click on “Insert” in the menu bar, then select “Video.”

• In the pop-up window, you’ll see a YouTube search bar. Type in the title or URL of the video you want to embed.

• Once you find the right video, click “Select” to embed it into your slide.

You can adjust the size and position of the video on the slide by dragging the corners or edges.

Embedding a Video from Google Drive

If your video isn’t on YouTube but stored in your Google Drive, you can still embed it in Google Slides:

• Go to the “Insert” menu and select “Video.”
• In the pop-up, switch to the “Google Drive” tab.

• Browse through your drive to find the video file, select it, and click “Insert.”

Just like with YouTube videos, you can resize and reposition the video as needed. Make sure the video has the appropriate sharing permissions for others to view.

Customizing Video Settings

After embedding the video, you can further customize how it behaves during the presentation:

• Start and End Time: In the “Format options” panel, you can set specific start and end times for the video, ensuring that only the relevant portion is played.

• Autoplay: You can also choose to have the video autoplay as soon as the slide is shown, which can help create smoother transitions.
