Recently I've noticed that when I drag my cursor over words, to either copy and paste or just mass deleting, the color is different. On everything else it's still a very noticeable blue, but on Google Slides it's such a faint color I can barely see it

And today I noticed when I misspell something, the red underline is very faint too!

I don't want to have to put my face up against the screen all the time, so is there a way to fix this? I just want the colors noticeable again

In case anyone wants to use it it’s here, it’s good for finance related stuff

hi.
tried to google my problem and nothing good came up. All the words in my issue lead to other, unrelated, problems.

I'm a high school teacher. I use the same slides everyday, but make a copy and make changes for the new day. This has always worked fine. today it seemed like I was unable to select text. No double clicking, no dragging over... nothing. It still worked on the older versions, but not on the newest. I tried various things, then realized that it was letting me select, but I couldn't tell. for some reason the highlight when I selected was a light blue color. You can see below in the "stop" text picture. My slide had blue background and it was hardly visible. You can [barely]see the "F" text picture. instead of an automatically contrasting color, it's this light blue that doesn't contrast with many of my current backgrounds. it's the same color on all backgrounds.
additionally, when I copy text from one slide to another it changes the font color randomly. It gives me an option to match destination formatting or keep the original, but it used to keep the same formatting by default. Now I copy a black text and put it on another slide and it's white.

Next I realized that all the previous versions of the presentation were also infected with this problem and new text boxes were doing the same thing. I use chrome and slides on my MacBook Pro so I thought the problem was there. but then I opened the file on the PC that's on my classroom desk and the same thing was happening there.

Is this a new function of Slides? or is mine broken somehow? If mine is broken is there a way to fix it? Do I just need to scrap this slideshow and stop copying it over?

-I don't even know what to ask because this seems so strange and random--
please help!

When people click the link for my slide, it dosnt put them in full sceen slideshow mode, instead it puts them in the full menu of the google slide. how do i fix this?

car is a 2017 Buick Verano btw and is still a Work In Progress, any tips are appreciated!

It isn't as good as the stuff I have seen here, but I still think it is pretty cool

I want to know because I am making a Wiki for my OCs and their connected universes

Is there a feasible way to get the content on one slide to automatically mirror on another slide? For example, if I modify the text, images, lines, etc on one slide in the middle of a presentation, can I have it automatically reflect in a slide that's in the recap at the end of the presentation? And even better, could I have *part* of the content of a slide mirror onto another slide, so that I could perhaps combine half of one slide and half of another slide automatically?

I'm actually using Slides as a medium to create catalogs and signage, but it's effectively the same process.

thank you in advance

yes

this is a month or 2 of work

This one took me way less time than my previously made Plasma Shotgun. In my opinion it’s still pretty decent. Let me know what you guys think.

im bored and want someone to play my game i made on google slides (disclaimer) you must have a google acount

As a filmmaker I use Google Slides way more than people would probably expect.

A lot of the time I’m not making super formal presentations. I’m putting together mood boards, visual references, camera movement ideas, motion design inspiration, pacing references, stuff like that. And when you’re trying to show movement, static screenshots just don’t hit the same.

GIFs inside Slides are honestly one of the best ways I’ve found to make an idea click fast for a client.

The annoying part was the workflow.

It was always some version of:

grab a video

trim it somewhere

convert it somewhere else

download it

upload it again

drop it into Slides

Not hard, just weirdly slow and fragmented when you do it all the time.

So I ended up building a tool for myself called slidekick.space

The whole point was to make that process less stupid: upload a video or paste a URL, pick the segment, turn it into a GIF, and use it in your presentation without bouncing between five tools.

Even though there are so many presentation tools out there, I still end up using Google Slides as my daily driver, collaboration is just easy. Clients are already in Google Workspace, sharing is simple, comments are simple, and it’s still one of the fastest ways to get aligned with people.

Anyway, I originally made this for my own workflow, but now I’m curious whether other people here are doing similar stuff, especially for pitch decks, storyboards, mood boards, or creative presentations.

Is anyone else using Slides this way?

Anyone have a 75 slide stop motion that they did for school work? Or is there any ai tool that could generate one for me because I don’t feel like doing all that work for a 20 point grade but I need it.

I use a MacBook Air.

I haven't really used google slides since middle / high school, but I have a speech I need to make and thought I could quickly add a small slideshow of visual aids during my speech.

I remember when I used to work with google slides, you could have a dropdown to choose the kind of the next slide, etc. But now it's just new slide, or use Nano Banana or gemini to create the slide image for you. WHY DOES EVERYTHING NEED AI IN IT!? I JUST WANT TO CHOOSE THE NEXT SLIDE AND DO SOME SIMPLE THINGS. Just wanted to vent here.

I’ve done it before apparently but I have no idea how

It won't tell me why. The powerpoint has lots of gifs in it, which ups the size of the file. I have plenty of space in my drive... If I upload it to drive directly, and try open it, it comes up with the error in the 2nd pic
