Google Slides is a free tool that, when used well, can be used to Embed Video on Google Slides. If you’re in the middle of making a slideshow and want to get your audience’s attention, you could add video clips to your presentation.
A short, relevant video clip can break up your talk and bring attention to the most important parts of your message. The important thing to remember is that short and to the point is best. Don’t make your audience watch a five-minute video to make a point that could have been made in a 15-second clip.
It’s important to choose the right video clip to add to your slideshow, but it’s also important to make sure that the clip works when it’s time to give your presentation. After all, nothing is more embarrassing than having your technology break down in the middle of your speech.

When should you Embed Videos in Google Slides?
Putting on a show
Live product demos can go wrong in many ways. Your product might not work the way you want it to if you have a slow Internet connection. Videos might be choppy and have a lot of noise.
Videos solve these problems (and many more) because they let you add pre-made product demos to presentations. So, you can give a presentation about a product without making a mistake or leaving the Google Slides tab.
Including talks by other people
Embedded videos are a simple way to add messages from guest speakers that have already been recorded. You can use them to add a few words from your R&D team, the top people in your company, or happy users.
The cool thing is that this way of having other speakers is smooth and never fails. You don’t have to worry about the other person’s camera, microphone, Internet connection, or anything else. Sendspark lets you ask for videos, embed them, and then you’re good to go.
Putting together long speeches
Short presentations, like pitch decks with 5–7 slides, don’t always need video. But if your presentation is longer than 10 minutes, you should use interesting videos to break up the time. This is especially true if your product is complicated or if the topic is hard to understand.

FAQ
Why won t embedded videos play in Google Slides?
There are a few ways to fix Google Slides videos that won’t play: Check your internet connection, make sure you’re connected. Check that your browser version is up to date and that it can handle cookies and JavaScript. Empty the browser’s cache.
Can you embed a video in Google Slides using an embed code?
On the “Insert Video” window, from the tab list at the top, select the “Google Drive” tab. In the “Google Drive” tab, find and click the video you want to embed. Then, in the window’s bottom-left corner, click “Select.” Google Slides will then embed your chosen video in your slide.
Why can’t I embed a video?
Many times, a video won’t embed because the type of link you’re using isn’t formatted correctly for embedding. For example, simply grabbing the link to a YouTube video from the URL bar likely won’t work for embedding. You have to click Share, then Embed, and then copy the embed URL from the embed snippet.
