Introduction

Google Slides is a versatile and powerful tool for creating presentations of all kinds. One of the most useful features of Google Slides is the ability to embed videos directly into a slide.

In this article, we will walk you through the steps of adding YouTube videos to your Google Slides presentation.

Step 3: Insert the Video

In the toolbar at the top of the screen, click on “Insert” and then select “Video.” A new window will open up, prompting you to choose the video source.

Step 4: Paste the URL

In the video source window, select the “By URL” tab. Then, paste the URL of the YouTube video you want to add to your Google Slides presentation. Finally, hit the “Enter” key on your keyboard.

Step 5: Resize and Move the Video
