Use this interactive demo to learn how to embed a video in your Google Slides presentation.

Quick summary

Adding a video to Google Slides takes just a few clicks using the Insert menu. You can embed videos from YouTube, Google Drive, or upload directly from your device.


Steps

  1. Open your Google Slides presentation and click Insert in the top menu to get started.
  2. Select Video from the Insert dropdown menu.
  3. Choose your video source: upload from your device, search YouTube, or grab one from Google Drive.
  4. Once you have chosen your preferred video, hit Insert to drop it into your slide.
  5. Drag the corners to resize and reposition the video on your slide.

📌 Why this matters

Embedding video directly in Google Slides transforms static presentations into engaging, multimedia experiences that hold audience attention. This feature lets presenters pull content from YouTube, Google Drive, or local files without leaving the editor, streamlining the workflow for educators, marketers, and business professionals alike. Supporting video natively inside slides eliminates the need for external players or browser switching during live presentations. It is a critical capability for anyone who wants to deliver polished, dynamic slide decks with minimal setup.
