In this video, I walk you through how I embed video right inside a Google Slides presentation so the lesson (or training) feels more dynamic and keeps students engaged. I start with the basics—getting your slide ready—then I show you the two main ways I add video: pulling one in from YouTube or inserting a video that’s saved in Google Drive. If you’ve ever wondered where to grab the right link on YouTube or how to get the video onto the slide and sized correctly, I cover that step-by-step. After the video is on the slide, I spend time in the Format options panel because that’s where the “teacher magic” happens. I show you how to adjust playback settings like autoplay, choosing a specific start and end time (so you only show the part you actually need), and muting the audio when it makes sense for your room. Finally, I preview the slide show so you can test exactly what students will see during your presentation. If you’re building Google Slides for instruction, this is one of the simplest upgrades you can make to keep your slides clear, visual, and effective.
