How to use Google Slides
Publish a Google Slides presentation on signage screens using its public embeddable link.
Overview
Publish a Google Slides presentation on signage screens using its public embeddable link.
Before you begin
Publish the Google presentation to the web and copy its embed or published presentation URL. A private edit URL cannot play.
Good to know
- Use a presentation ratio matching the target display.
- Do not use a restricted Google Workspace link.
- Test automatic slide timing in Preview.
Publishing
After saving the app, add its slide to a playlist and publish that playlist to the required screen. Use Preview to confirm the layout before sending it to a live display.
