Use this interactive demo to learn how to submit a Google Slides presentation through Canvas.

Quick summary

This tutorial shows students how to turn in Google Slides on Canvas by sharing the file from Google Slides and submitting the link as an assignment. Follow these steps to set the correct sharing permissions and complete your Canvas submission without any file format issues.

Steps

Open your presentation in Google Slides.
Click Share in the top-right corner of Google Slides.
Set General access to Anyone with the link to ensure your teacher can view the file.
Set the Role to Viewer or Commenter as appropriate.
Click Copy link to copy the shareable link, then click Done.
Go to the Canvas login page, open your assignment, paste or attach your Google Slides link, and click Submit Assignment.

📌 Why this matters

Submitting Google Slides on Canvas is a common task for students but can be confusing without clear guidance on sharing permissions and submission methods. This demo matters because it eliminates the guesswork around setting the correct Google Slides access level — such as 'Anyone with the link' — so teachers can view submissions without errors. By walking through each step from the Share dialog to the Canvas Submit Assignment button, students can confidently turn in presentations on time. Getting the sharing and submission workflow right the first time prevents late penalties caused by inaccessible or incorrectly formatted files.
