Set the permission to Viewer.
Click Copy link to have the link copied.

📌 Why this matters

Knowing how to make a Google Slides presentation public is essential for anyone who needs to share content with audiences outside their organization, such as clients, students, or event attendees. By enabling the 'Anyone with the link' sharing setting, presenters eliminate login barriers and ensure instant, frictionless access to their slides. Setting the permission to Viewer protects the original file from unwanted edits while keeping the content fully visible. This simple sharing workflow makes Google Slides a practical tool for public-facing presentations, portfolios, and educational resources.
