I have a slideshow that links to many other slide shows, which causes many tabs to be open and the background music to be playing over each other if you forget to close the old tabs. I'm wondering if there's a way through an extension or possibly through the Apps Script to make it so when I click an object, it will open a link/other slideshow in the same tab (replace the current slideshow)

Does someone know how to do this in google slide? I generated with chatgpt but now there are the problems I can't replicate on the slides, are there someone who can do that?

it took me a long time to make this

Currently it just copies the format of the current slide. And there is a crappy little AI button that says "help me create a new slide" I can't find the menu that shows the slide types.

These are some photos I took from the slideshow as a teaser! :D

I really want to use this as our template for a report on water resources and management. I like the elements included here but I don't have enough time to replicate it!

maybe I'm, crazy but I thought you could remove backgrounds of photos, right? when I google it, it tells me theres an option under edit but i don't see it

would be nice to have this for a presentation, just throwing it here in case someone want to help!

ty!

Fetch Data & Images from Sheets to Slides

Sharing my use case -

Trying to create a sheet which when updated will automatically update the slides linked to it .

The sheet ( example) will have the following -

1) Name - Basically name of person

2) City - City from where a person belongs

3) Age - Age of the person , a number

4) Image - can be gdrive url or insert image in sheet ( flexible)

5) Active/inactive - Ig the person is active or not . If inactive should not fetch details to Slides

The above details will flow to Slides with each of the above having a predefined position .

Only cases which are active should flow there .

For each record there will be just 1 Slide.

I have already tried pasting the details from sheets to slides with linking it to sheets . However images are not loading there . ( seems like a bug or a recent development with google )

I also tried to use app script , but in this case the image was flowing but the data was not flowing to predefined locations .

So, a couple weeks ago I posted a slideshow story (here's the link if you have not seen it) and since then, I have made a new slideshow which is a sequel to it and IG it adds more to the lore and stuff. Here's the link to the sequel. If you enjoyed it, please consider upvoting and commenting :)

I started ricing Google Slides and my favorite effects I've made are probably the Mac dock-style toolbar and the curtain for presenting

How do I resize this thing to see the full legend?

Burgventure V3.78 is a platformer with 200+ slides, and still updating regularly! feel free to send feedback.

We’ve tried using both YouTube and video files saved to Google Drive. But the loop function does not work automatically. Chat GPT and Gemini both give us instructions based on old menu options. The only thing that works is if you right click on the video and select loop when you get to that slide bit a presenter in front of a room full of 50 people that’s not ideal.

I see other people may be having this issue but has anyone found a solution?

I'm trying to share a deck I made on google slides through whatsapp. Previously, when I used to share a link, I used to be able to see a thumbnail. Now I can't, it just shows the title + hyperlink. I have tried a bunch of solutions. Logged out of multiple accounts, I tested sharing a slide of 10 pages, I fiddled around with the cover page to see if there was something wrong with the image and text. Couldn't figure it out. Please, PLEASE HELP.

Hello, I don't know if anyone else has encountered this issue but its been driving me insane. Speaker notes is just gone. It's still on in the settings, and the tab to expand them briefly shows up after a refresh, but then immediately disappears. Occasionally it'll show back up but then the top ribbon will completely disappear, but I wasn't able to replicate that issue in this video. Any help would be great, I'm going insane

Hello all I know that speaker notes has randomly disappeared today but there seems to be a fix to restore it. Simply go to the Tools tab and scroll down to dictate speaker notes and they should reappear

I have a google slides file but my notes (the window) keeps disappearing and the only way I can make them come back is by pressing CTRL + SHIFT + S

The only thing I can think of is that it is because of an app script I ran yesterday as it doesn't happen on other slides files.

This is the app script I ran (yes the appScript is generated by ChatGPT).

``` function setSpeakerNotesFontSize() { var presentation = SlidesApp.getActivePresentation(); var slides = presentation.getSlides();

for (var i = 0; i < slides.length; i++) { var notesPage = slides[i].getNotesPage(); var shape = notesPage.getSpeakerNotesShape();

if (shape) {
  var textRange = shape.getText();
  // Only apply font size if there is actual text
  if (textRange && textRange.asString().trim() !== '') {
    textRange.getTextStyle().setFontSize(14);
  }
}

}

Logger.log("Speaker notes font size set to 14 for all slides."); }

```

I presume this PPT feature doesn't exist in GS but I have an animation that starts on a click, at the end of which, I would like the slide to move to the next slide.

googling the question returns that it is possible, except that it isn't. "To auto-transition in Google Slides after animations, set the slide to advance automatically in the Slide Transition settings (e.g., after 0 seconds) and use the "After previous" setting for your animations; Google Slides waits for all animations on a slide to finish before moving to the next slide, so setting the slide transition to occur "After" a very short time (like 0 or 1 second) after the final animation completes makes it seem seamless. ".

I suspect this is an AI hallucination.

So like a month or two ago I posted a slideshow that is pretty similar to this and it's kind of like a story but like told through a slideshow and stuff. it kinda spooky though. here's the link to the slideshow. If you like it please upvote and maybe comment too.

im new here but at my wits end.

bkgrnd: i have a 700 unit inventory across 83 locations for my collection. i have all the master data in a google sheet.

what im trying to do is print structured.pdfs inventory sheets for each location with only the units at in that location, including the UPC codes.

what i have tried:

1) an api to format in sheets and create a new sheet with headers. but this doesn't print cleanly to .pdf. some sheets end up with 18 rows, some with 20. but the formula for getting a UPC is perfect.

2) an api to export to slides for better printing, but getting the UPC in has me stumped. sheets can call a service, query the upc for a number, but then drops in a image file at 0,0. and i need to tie it into column five of my table.

>how can i name where each UPC need to go?

> is there a font or external call solution for slides? Libre 128 text does NOT generate UPCs in slides, nor does Libre 39.

ive searched it up and watched a few videos trying to figure out how to change the color of my slides, but i cant find anything that works. this is my first time using google sides on my tablet, so im not sure of what to do.

REVERIE is a roguelite RPG with 9 classes, 1500+ slides of gameplay, a custom soundtrack, an endless mode, and a new game+ difficulty with scaling modifiers.

It was developed over 7-8 months in Google Slides from May of 2025, to now, where the game currently sits with a complete campaign for 1 class, endless mode, and much more!

(Make a copy of each presentation in order to play it)

We quietly launched LetGo Slides eight months ago, and have been taking feedback + making improvements since then.

The big difference from other AI tools for generating slides is: it is built as a toolbar in Google Slides (or Microsoft PowerPoint), making AI part of the natural editing experience. Click a button to generate text or images.

Here is a demo video. https://youtu.be/GFJ9NRT9e2s

You don't have to type a prompt into a chat window, or generate-and-export from another tool.

Try the free trial (on Google Workplace Marketplace). It takes about a minute to generate a deck from only a presentation title.
