Have you ever wanted to enhance your presentations in Google Slides by embedding relevant YouTube videos, but weren’t sure how to go about it? I’m here to guide you through the simple process, step by step.
Step 1: Accessing the Insert Option
The first thing you need to do is open your Google Slides presentation. Once you’re in your presentation, navigate to the top toolbar and click on the ‘Insert’ option.
Step 2: Selecting the Video Option
After clicking on ‘Insert’, a drop-down menu will appear. From that menu, select the ‘Video’ option. This action will prompt a new window to open, offering you various options for inserting a video.
Step 3: Choosing the By URL Option
If you already have a specific YouTube video in mind that you want to insert, you can simply copy the YouTube URL of that video. In the video insertion window, choose the ‘By URL’ option.
Step 4: Pasting the YouTube URL
Once you’ve selected the ‘By URL’ option, paste the YouTube URL of the video you wish to insert into the designated field. Google Slides will then fetch the video and embed it directly into your presentation.
Step 5: Adjusting Video Size and Position
After Google Slides inserts the YouTube video into your presentation, you can easily resize and reposition it to fit seamlessly with your slides. Simply click on the video to access these options.
Step 6: Playing the Embedded Video
Once you’ve properly inserted and adjusted the YouTube video in your Google Slides presentation, you can preview how it will look when played. Click on the ‘Play’ button within the video to test it out.
Step 7: Customizing Video Playback Options
Google Slides allows you to customize various playback options for the embedded YouTube video. Right-click on the video to access settings like autoplay, video start and end times, and more.
Step 8: Additional Tips for Video Integration
For a seamless presentation experience, ensure that your internet connection is stable when embedding YouTube videos in Google Slides. This will prevent any disruptions during playback.
Step 9: Incorporating Videos for Enhanced Engagement
By strategically inserting relevant YouTube videos into your Google Slides presentations, you can capture your audience’s attention more effectively and enhance the overall engagement level of your slides.
