Google Slides

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

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.

Please note, there are two methods and only one of them works based on the media player you are using.

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 order by just checking the checkboxes.
