Use this interactive demo to learn how to remove someone's access from a Google Slides presentation.

Quick summary

To kick someone from Google Slides, open the presentation, click Share, and set General access back to Restricted to revoke link-based access for all previous viewers.

Steps

Open the presentation in Google Slides.
Click Share in the top-right corner.
Under General access, click the dropdown arrow and set it back to Restricted.
Click Done to save changes — anyone with previous access can no longer reopen the file using the link.

📌 Why this matters

Controlling who can access a Google Slides presentation is essential for protecting sensitive information and maintaining document security. The ability to quickly revoke shared access by switching General access to Restricted ensures that former collaborators or unintended viewers are locked out immediately. This feature is especially valuable for teams managing confidential presentations, client decks, or internal strategy documents. Knowing how to remove someone from Google Slides in seconds reduces the risk of unauthorized access without requiring an IT administrator.
