Use this interactive demo to learn how to share a Google Slides presentation with students via a meeting link.

Quick summary

This demo shows how to share Google Slides with students by starting a Google Meet session directly from your presentation and sending a combined file-and-video-call link. In just three steps, teachers can give students instant access to both the live presentation and the video call without switching tools.

Steps

Open your Google Slides presentation, then click the Camera/Meeting icon in the top-right corner.
In the dropdown menu, click Start a new meeting to initiate a Google Meet session linked to your presentation.
Click the copy icon beside This file and video call, then send the link to your students so they can join the meeting and view the presentation.

📌 Why this matters

Sharing Google Slides with students during a live session is a common classroom challenge that often requires juggling multiple tools. This demo shows how Google Slides' built-in Google Meet integration lets teachers launch a video call and share their presentation in a single shareable link. By combining the presentation file and the video call into one URL, students get instant, friction-free access without needing separate meeting invites. This workflow saves teachers time and ensures students always view the correct, live version of the slide deck.
