Use this interactive demo to learn how to launch and navigate a Google Slides presentation.

Quick summary

Steps

  1. Open your presentation in Google Slides.
  2. Click Slideshow in the top-right corner to start the presentation.
  3. Once your presentation loads, use your arrow keys to move between slides.
  4. Click the < and > icons on the lower left side of your presentation to navigate slides with the mouse.

📌 Why this matters

Google Slides is one of the most widely used presentation tools for business and education, yet many users don't know how to fully leverage its presenter features. Understanding how to launch Slideshow mode, navigate slides efficiently, and access tools like Speaker notes and the laser pointer can significantly improve your presentation delivery. Mastering these built-in controls helps presenters stay focused, look more professional, and engage their audience more effectively — all without leaving the browser.
