A Guide to Presenting PowerPoint Presentation (PPT) in Google Meet on Phone and Laptop

Google has two different video calling apps – Google Duo and Google Meet . Google Meet has risen as a great competitor to remote video conferencing apps such as Zoom , Microsoft Team, and a few others. You can even share your screen using the Present feature in Google Meet . With that, you can present your PowerPoint presentations to other participants in the Google Meet call. Let’s see how to show a Presentation (PPT file) on Meet.

Sharing Presentation through Google Meet can come handy for business meetings and online classes where a teacher can use slides for teaching. If you are wondering how to show a PowerPoint presentation on Google Meet, you are in the right place.

Let’s check the steps on how to present a PowerPoint presentation (PPT) on Google Meet on Android, iPhone, iPad, Windows, and Mac. Before you move on to step-by-step instructions, do take a look at the frequently asked questions.

FAQs for Sharing Presentation on Google Meet

Here are some answers to the FAQs to clear your doubts.

Can Others See You While You Are Presenting

That depends. If your camera is on, others can see your video along with your presentation. Sharing the screen doesn’t disable your video automatically. But if you want to show your presentation only without showing your face, turn off the camera in Google Meet to hide yourself. The red Camera icon means that the video is turned off. Find out in detail how to hide and unhide yourself in Google Meet .

Can You Speak and Explain Slides While Sharing PPT

Yes. You can talk and explain your slides while presenting them, provided you haven’t muted yourself. Just click or tap on the microphone icon in Google Meet to unmute yourself.

Can Participants Interact With Your Device While Sharing Presentation

No. You are only mirroring the content. Other participants cannot open your email or interact with your PC or mobile as can be done through remote access apps like TeamViewer .

Will Ending Presentation Disconnect Call

No. Stopping the presentation will not disconnect your call. However, ending the call will stop the screen presentation.

How to Present PowerPoint Presentation in Google Meet on Laptop

To present PPT on Google Meet from a PC, follow these steps:

Step 1: Open the PowerPoint file on your PC.

Step 2 : Open any web browser on your computer and join or create a Google Meet meeting. If you want, you can hide yourself from others before joining a meeting by clicking on the Camera icon. Click on Join now to enter the meeting.

Note: For better functionality, use Google Meet on Google Chrome.

Step 3 : Click on the Present Now option available at the bottom. You will see three options – Your entire screen, A window, and A Chrome tab. If you go with the first one, then all the participants will see your every action on your PC and all the data that is in the foreground. When you switch between apps, participants will see that as well. To protect your privacy, choose the second option, i.e., ‘A window’ from the menu if your PowerPoint presentation is saved on your device.

Note: If you want to share a file from Google Slides or PowerPoint file that is open in a Google Chrome tab, click on A Chrome tab instead. Then select the Chrome tab having your presentation file or any other document. Doing so will only share the Chrome tab and nothing else from your PC.

Step 4: You will be asked to select the window that you want to present. Since you have already kept the PowerPoint file open in step 1, click on the PowerPoint window and hit the Share button. You can open the PowerPoint presentation now as well. It will show up in the list of open windows.

Step 5: The PowerPoint window will come in the foreground when you click on Share. Reduce the size of the PowerPoint window if you want to see other participants in Google Meet or to view the chat window.

Tip: To view other participants while presenting your screen, use the Tiled layout view .

Pro Tip: Check out 6 Google Meet extensions for increasing your productivity .

Step 6: At this stage, your entire PowerPoint window is shared, as seen in the screenshot. You can show your slides only by activating the Slide show mode.

Anyone familiar with PowerPoint keyboard shortcuts would know that pressing the F5 key on the keyboard will activate the full-screen mode or Slide show mode that takes up the entire screen. Since we want to see the Google Meet window, we will enable the full screen only inside the PowerPoint window.

For that, click on the Slide Show tab at the top of Microsoft PowerPoint. Then click on Set up Slide Show. A pop-up window will open. Select ‘Browsed by an individual (window)’ under Show type and hit the Ok button.

Now press the F5 key on your keyboard to start the full-screen mode. If that doesn’t do anything, use fn + F5 keyboard shortcut. Use the next and previous arrow keys on your keyboard to change the slides.

Here’s how your presentation will look to others:

Anytime you want to leave the full-screen mode of your presentation, click on the Escape (ESC) key on your keyboard.

Step 7: To stop presenting, click on the Stop Sharing button at the bottom. If you don’t see it, open the Google Meet tab and hit the Stop presenting button.

Stopping the presentation will not end the Meet call. Click on the Leave call button to end the call when you are done.

How to Present PowerPoint Slides in Google Meet

Got a presentation coming up? Here's how to share your PowerPoint slides in Google Meet and engage your audience.

As virtual meetings become more common in professional settings, knowing how to present PowerPoint slides in Google Meet is essential. If you're preparing for your first virtual presentation, you might have questions and concerns.

How do I share my slides? Will my transitions display correctly? How do I engage with remote participants while presenting? Don't worry, we've got you covered. This article will provide clear answers and guidance to ensure a seamless presentation experience. Let’s get started.

How to Present PowerPoint Slideshow in Google Meet

Instead of sharing your device’s screen in Google Meet , the best way to present is to share the window with your PowerPoint slides. This ensures your audience won’t see any sensitive notifications or other areas of your desktop. Here’s how to go about it.

• Open your PowerPoint presentation.
• Join a Google Meet meeting. If you’re the host, you have to first create a Google Meet .

If your PowerPoint window is minimized, it won’t appear under the Window tab. Therefore, ensure it's maximized and running in the background.

When you hide the toolbar, it becomes a minimized Chrome window. Click the Chrome icon to reveal it when you're ready to stop sharing.

Slideshow mode provides the best viewing experience for your audience by displaying your slide in full screen, without distractions like ribbons and slide sorter. It also shows transitions and animations on the slide.

• When you’re done, hit Esc on your keyboard to exit the slideshow.
• Click Stop sharing .

How to Present PowerPoint Slides in Google Meet and Still See Participants

With the previous method, once you launch your presentation in slideshow mode, you won’t be able to see your participant’s faces and any actions they take (e.g., hand raise, chats, etc). But if you want to do both, follow these steps.

• When it’s your turn to present, click the Present now icon.
• Click Stop sharing or Stop presenting when you're finished.

Deliver Engaging PowerPoint Presentations in Google Meet

Presenting PowerPoint slides in Google Meet is a handy skill in today's digital workplace. This guide has covered all the key steps you need to know—so you can be at ease while presenting and give your audience the best viewing experience.

With practice, each PowerPoint presentation in Google Meet becomes easier than the last. And if you dabble with Google Slides, learning to present them in Google Meet is a plus.

How to Share Audio in Google Meet

Jessie Richardson Read more January 16, 2022

Working from the comfort of your home has a lot of benefits, especially when you get to use amazing conferencing apps like Google Meet. However, when you share your screen, you’ll notice that the audio feature might be missing.

For now, Google Meet hasn’t come up with an ideal solution, but there are a couple of workarounds you can try. In this article, you’ll learn all about the various options available. The next time you start a meeting with a YouTube clip, everyone will be able to hear it.

Google Presentations with PC Sound

Preparing for an online work meeting is slightly different from doing it in the office, mainly because you have to ensure all the technical prerequisites are in order. If you’re a Windows user, you can ensure that the instructional video you’ve prepared has the accompanying audio or share other videos, animations, gifs, music, and more in your meetings .

Currently, you have three options. You can change the microphone settings in Windows 10 and Google Meets or use the “Present” option in Google Meets on Chrome. The “Present a Chrome tab” feature was “fully” released in May of 2021 . Here are your options.

Option 1: Adjust Microphone Settings to Share Audio in Google Meet

Here’s how to adjust your microphone settings in Windows 10.

After completing the above steps, the participants in the meeting won’t hear your voice because you set the studio for PC sounds. Therefore, ensure you let everyone know that’s going to happen before you make the changes. Otherwise, the scenario might create confusion.

After playing the audio you want, you can go back and switch the setting to your default microphone. Going from one microphone setting to another might not be the ideal solution, but it’s the only one available at the moment.

Option 2: Use “Present a Chrome” Tab to Share Audio in Google Meet

The official feed from the Google Workspace team shows that the “Present…” option is available for G Suite users, but we confirmed that it also works for general Google accounts. The feature only displays the tab you currently selected. However, a notification appears when you switch to a new one, asking if you want to switch to the current tab. Here’s how to use the “Present a Chrome tab” function.

Option 3: Use Another Device to Share Audio in Google Meet

Aside from changing your microphone settings in Windows 10 and Google Meets, it’s also possible to use your smartphone device simultaneously by using the “Use a phone for audio ” feature. Therefore, you can talk at the same time as presenting the video or images from your PC. However, using your phone for audio in Meets is currently limited to Google Workspace hosts only . It also mutes the PC’s audio while on the call.

How to Mute Participants on Google Meet

If you’re planning on sharing audio during your Google Meet presentation, you’re probably worried about too much noise or chatter. It would be nice if a “Mute All” button existed to click during active audio sharing.

Fortunately, Google Meet has just started introducing an option to mute everyone as of May 2021 by providing it to Google Meet hosts in Google Workspace for Education Fundamentals and Education Plus domains. All other users have to wait until further notice. For businesses and general users, it doesn’t mean all is lost. You can attempt to use a third-party browser add-on , or you can mute Google Meet participants individually with just a few clicks.

Google Meet: Mute Everyone using Individual Selection

The most guaranteed way to mute everyone during your Google Meet presentation is to mute each participant, one by one unless you can use “Mute All.” Here’s how to mute everyone individually.

• While you’re presenting, go to the “People” icon in the top right corner of the Google Meet window.
• On the list of participants, select a name you want to mute.
• You will have three icons show up, click on the middle one ( “microphone icon” ) .
• You will be asked to confirm if you want to mute this participant. Press “Mute.”

Now, this person’s microphone will get turned off. You can repeat the process as many times as you need if you want to mute everyone .

Google Meet: Mute Everyone using the “Mute all” Feature

When you use Google Meet for educational purposes, with many students participating, it’s helpful to know how to mute any unnecessary noise, primarily since teachers often use audio and video clips in classes. For those using Meet for Education Plus domains or Google Workspace for Education Fundamentals (as previously mentioned), you’re in luck. Feel free to mute everyone in one swoop. Just don’t forget that you cannot unmute . So, include something in your presentation to let participants know they can unmute their microphones as needed! Here’s how to mute everyone on Google Meet.

Google Meet: Mute for Listening, Then Unmute for Talking

Sometimes it’s hard not to want to jump in with comments, even when it’s not the right moment. If you’re the one sharing the audio, you want everyone to hear it first. Perhaps you’ll even have to resort to muting participants, especially if you’re dealing with students.

Second, until Google Meet figures out a better way for audio sharing, you can always switch from one microphone setting to another, as discussed above or use your smartphone to supply the audio. It’s not perfect, but it does the job.

Fortunately, Google Meet has come a long way in audio capabilities, but there’s definitely room for improvement.

How to Record a Video Presentation With Google Slides

Your email has been sent

Google Slides now lets you record a presentation with inset video from your webcam. Each recording may be a maximum of 30 minutes long. No longer do you need to turn to a third-party tool or web meeting app, such as Google Meet , to record a presentation. Instead, you can start and finish the task with nothing more than Google Slides on a laptop.

As of March 2024, slide recordings may be made by customers who use Google Workspace Business Standard or Plus; Enterprise Starter, Essentials, Essentials Plus, Standard or Plus; and Education Plus editions.

How to make a basic slide recording in Google Slides

To create a slide recording, you’ll need to use Google Chrome on a computer that has a camera and microphone.

• Go to Google Slides and open your presentation.
• Select the Rec button in the upper right area, then select the Record new video button ( Figure A ).

The system will switch to the screen recording interface, with recording controls displayed below your slides. By default, the system will display your inset (picture-in-picture) video in medium size in the lower right corner of a slide, since this portion of a slide is often empty.

• Optionally, before you start recording, you might adjust three settings:

• Modify the size of the inset video frame. Select the size icon, found to the right of the video inset location icon, then choose either a small, medium or large video frame size.
• Open speaker notes with the button found to the immediate left of the back slide (<) icon. This will display speaker notes for your reference while recording. (Ideally, you would not need to refer to speaker notes, so that you could instead look directly at the camera as you record.)
• When you are ready to record, select the large red button at the bottom of the screen.
• If prompted, you may need to allow access ( Figure C ) to the tab, along with the camera and microphone. For example, when recording on a Chromebook, you may be prompted to “Allow docs.google.com to see this tab?” and “Also allow tab audio.” Select Allow, if prompted.

In a few cases, you may need to visit the following links in Chrome to adjust permissions for:

• Camera: chrome://settings/content/camera.
• Microphone: chrome://settings/content/microphone.
• A brief countdown should display (i.e., 3, 2, 1), then your recording will begin. Record your video, advancing your slides as desired.
• To pause recording, press the large red button at the bottom of the screen.
• Once paused, you may select from two options ( Figure D ):

After you select Save to Drive, wait a bit until the system indicates the file has been saved. If you leave or close the tab too soon, you may lose your recording.

How to select inset video shapes and sizes

On any slide, you may use the Insert | Speaker spotlight option ( Figure E ), then select a shaped video frame. This inserts a frame where the speaker video will display on that slide. You may reposition or resize the frame: Select the shape, and then drag-and-drop it to move it to a different place on your slide, or select a corner and drag it to resize it.

When you insert a speaker spotlight shape, that supplants the position and size you might have selected on a basic recording. In other words, the speaker’s video will display in one of the corners or the center, and in the small, medium or large shape chosen with the settings — unless you’ve inserted a speaker spotlight shape on a page ( Figure F ). Use the speaker spotlight option to convey the most polished professional effect, since it allows precise control over the shape, size and location of a video frame.

How to play, share and manage slide recordings

You may access slide recordings within Google Slides on a computer. However, unlike recording, which requires you to use Google Chrome, you may access and play existing recordings within Google Slides on a variety of modern browsers. For example, the following steps all work when you use Google Slides within either Google Chrome or Apple’s Safari browser.

To access recordings associated with a Google Slides presentation, follow these steps.

• Select the Rec button in the upper right area. The recordings you’ve made of the presentations will display. Importantly, the system shows both the date and duration of each recording.
• To view, share or download a recording, click anywhere on the playback icon or title of the recording ( Figure G ). It should open in a new tab. Within this tab, you might:
• Select the Play icon in the center of the video image to play the recording.
• Select the Share button in the upper right corner of the screen to modify access settings and give other people access to the file.
• Select the Download icon in the down arrow above a tray icon in the upper right area of the screen to download the file.

• Select the three dot menu to the right of a listed recording to:
• Rename a file something other than the default recording title.
• Remove a previously made recording you no longer need.
• Copy link and obtain the Google Drive URL for the recorded file.

All Google Slides recordings are stored in a Slides recordings folder on Google Drive. The recordings are saved as .webm files, which is a widely supported web video format. You may easily open and play .webm files on both Apple and Android mobile phones. Any recordings you make using Google Slides should be easy to view on almost any device.

Does the ability to record a presentation within Google Slides streamline your workflow? What sorts of video presentations will you create with this new capability? Mention or message me on X ( @awolber ) to let me know how you use screen recording within Google Slides.
