If any of you have tried embedding video into a Google Slides presentation, you will know that the only option has been to embed a video through YouTube. This in my mind has provided limitations to the videos I wanted to embed, often times adding additional steps if I wanted to use my own video or forcing me to use links.
I am excited to say with a new feature in Google Slides this is no longer the case. This new feature will now allow you to embed video stored in Google Drive into a slide presentation. Once the video is added from Drive you can access Video Options to specify where you want the video to start and end, enable autoplay during a presentation and toggle audio on and off.
Please note a few things:
- Adding video to a presentation through Google Drive is only available on the web version of Slides, but viewing them is possible on both web and mobile.
- If you've shared your presentation ensure your video is shared as well. If the video is not shared, those users who do not have permission to view the video will have the option to request access.
