Use this interactive demo to learn how to create clickable buttons in Google Slides.

Quick summary

You can create clickable buttons in Google Slides by inserting a shape, adding label text, and attaching a hyperlink to a URL or slide. This step-by-step process turns any shape into a fully interactive navigation element inside your presentation.


Steps

  1. Open your Google Slides presentation and click the shape icon in the toolbar to begin creating your button.
  2. Pick a shape from the menu that works as a button design.
  3. Click and drag on your slide to draw the shape, positioning it wherever you want the button to appear.
  4. Adjust the size and placement of the shape now, or refine it later as needed.
  5. Double-click the shape and type your button text, keeping it short and action-oriented.
  6. Right-click the shape and select "Link" to turn it into a clickable button with a destination.
  7. Paste your URL or choose a target slide from the dropdown, then click "Apply" to assign the button its destination.
  8. Test your button in presentation mode to confirm it works as expected.

📌 Why this matters

Creating clickable buttons in Google Slides lets presenters build interactive, navigation-driven presentations without any third-party tools. This feature is essential for anyone building self-guided decks, e-learning modules, or sales presentations that need non-linear navigation. By linking shapes to specific slides or external URLs, you can guide your audience through a customized experience with a single click. It transforms a static slideshow into a dynamic, interactive presentation that keeps viewers engaged.
