3. After adding the YouTube video to the slide, you can reposition it or modify its size as needed.
Sometimes, not all the videos you want to add are from YouTube. So, the above method won't work, and Google Drive will be helpful now. How to embed a video from Google Drive in Google Slides? In this section, we will show you the steps.
Tip: If you want to add a video from a site other than YouTube via Google Drive, you first need to save the videos in your Google Drive account.
Finally, you can also adjust the position and size of the video you've added to the slides according to your preferences to make it more attractive. It's up to you!
Google Slides does not support adding videos directly from your computer, so a good option is to upload the video to Google Drive first and then add it to Google Slides from there. Since Part 2 already shows how to add videos from Google Drive in detail, this part only briefly introduces its steps.
Sign in to Google Drive > Upload the video file >Wait for the video file upload to complete.
The second step of uploading the video files can be done in two ways:
• Click the New button in the upper left corner of the interface.
• Directly drag and drop the video file into the Google Drive interface.
Open Google Slides > Select slides > Select video from Google Drive and insert > Adjust video settings (optional).
Reminder: Make sure your video format is supported by Google Slides, such as MP4, MOV, etc. Otherwise, the video may not be added.
Above, we have covered the steps to add videos to Google Slides in different ways, and in this section, we will provide you with tips for video integration. We offer these tips because sometimes videos we want to add to Google Slides may fail due to some settings and formats that do not meet its requirements.
