Use this interactive demo to learn how to start a live chat conversation in Google Slides.

Quick summary

The Google Slides chat feature lets collaborators send real-time messages directly inside a shared presentation file. To open it, click the chat icon in the top-right corner, type your message, and press Enter to send instantly.


Steps

  1. Click the chat icon in the top-right corner of Google Slides to open the conversation panel.
  2. Type your message in the chat box — your collaborators will see it instantly.
  3. Press Enter to send your message. Note: chat only works when other collaborators are active in the file with you.

📌 Why this matters

Google Slides chat enables real-time collaboration directly inside a shared presentation, eliminating the need to switch between tools like Slack or email during live editing sessions. Teams working on the same file simultaneously can communicate instantly without leaving their workflow, reducing friction and speeding up feedback loops. This built-in messaging feature is especially valuable for remote and hybrid teams who need fast, in-context communication while co-editing presentations.
