How to Turn Link into Video in Google Slides

Use this interactive demo to learn how to embed a video link directly into your Google Slides presentation.

Quick summary

Google Slides lets you insert a video directly onto any slide using a video URL, replacing manual downloads with a fast built-in workflow. Once inserted, you can resize and reposition the video freely to fit your presentation layout.


Steps

  1. Click "Insert" at the top menu bar to get started.
  2. Select "Video" from the dropdown to open your video insertion options.
  3. Paste your video URL into the search bar and press Enter.
  4. Click on the video thumbnail to select your desired video.
  5. Click "Select" to drop the video directly onto your slide.
  6. Resize or reposition the video by dragging its corners or moving it around the slide.

📌 Why this matters

Embedding videos directly in Google Slides removes the friction of downloading and re-uploading media files, saving presenters valuable time. By pasting a simple URL, users can pull in any supported video and have it play natively during a presentation — no third-party tools required. This capability makes Google Slides a stronger choice for educators, marketers, and business teams who rely on rich multimedia content to engage audiences. Knowing how to use the Insert Video feature ensures polished, professional presentations that keep viewers focused on the message.
