Google Slides

To add Google Slides to your content follow these simple steps.

Live playback

Live playback is the recommended method as it maintains the presentation animations and slide transitions. Also if you edit the slides, changes will be automatically updated to your screens.

• Select File -> Publish to web
• Select the Embed tab (If you use the URL from the Link tab, web preview, and Android players can not load the content from Google Slides)
• Set desired slide duration and make sure both check-boxes are checked
• Copy the URL (Only the part that is highlighted in the example below)

<iframe src="https://www.google.com/maps/embed ..... " width="600" height="450" style="border:0;" allowfullscreen="" loading="lazy" referrerpolicy="no-referrer-when-downgrade"></iframe>

• Open your playlist in my.playsignage.com, add the Website plugin, and paste your URL into the Website address.

Local playback

Local playback is preferred if you wish to move presentation maintenance to our built-in editor. However, keep in mind that once imported into your library, each slide will be converted to an image, so you can not edit text after importing.

• Export the presentation as a PowerPoint .pptx file (File -> Download as)
• Upload the .pptx file to your library
• Open your playlist in my.playsignage.com
• Click Assets
• Mouse over one of the files and check off the small checkbox, you are in a multi-select mode now and can select additional slides in the order by just checking the checkboxes.
• Select the option Create slide per asset
• Set a duration and a transition for all slides and click Create slides.
