GOOGLE SLIDES

Google Slides is a cloud-based presentation tool developed by Google. It allows users to create,
edit, and collaborate on presentations online. Part of Google Workspace (formerly G Suite),
Google Slides is accessible via web browsers or mobile apps and integrates seamlessly with
other Google tools like Docs, Sheets, and Drive.

Key Features of Google Slides

1. Real-Time Collaboration:
o Multiple users can work on the same presentation simultaneously. Changes are
reflected in real time, and users can leave comments and suggestions.
2. Cloud-Based Access:
o Presentations are stored in Google Drive, making them accessible from any
internet-connected device.
3. Templates and Themes:
o A wide range of pre-designed templates and customizable themes help users
create professional-looking presentations quickly.
4. Slide Customization:
o Tools for adding text, images, videos, charts, shapes, and animations allow for
full customization of slides.
5. Offline Mode:
o Work on presentations offline, and changes are synced when an internet
connection is re-established.
6. Sharing and Permissions:
o Share presentations with specific individuals or groups, and control permissions
(view, comment, or edit).
7. Presenter Tools:
o Features like Presenter View with speaker notes and a Q&A option for audience
interaction enhance live presentations.
8. Integration with Google Workspace:
o Embed Google Sheets charts, Docs content, or Drive files directly into slides for
seamless integration.
9. Add-Ons and Extensions:
o Extend functionality with add-ons, such as diagram tools, icons, or additional
templates.
10. Export and Import Options:
o Import PowerPoint files (.pptx) for editing and export presentations in multiple
formats, including .pptx, .pdf, and .jpg.
