How to Post a Google Slide on Canvas

To post a Google Slide presentation on Canvas, you typically embed it using the embed code obtained from Google Slides and the embed function within the Canvas Rich Content Editor.

Getting the Embed Code from Google Slides

Before posting to Canvas, you need to get the embed code for your Google Slides presentation.

Here's how:

1. Open your Google Slides presentation.
2. Go to the File menu.
3. Select Share, then Publish to the web.
4. In the window that pops up, go to the Embed tab.
5. Choose your desired slide size (optional).
6. Click Publish.
7. Copy the provided <iframe> embed code.

Embedding the Google Slides in Canvas

Once you have the embed code, you can add it to various places in your Canvas course, such as Pages, Assignments, Announcements, or Discussions.

Follow these steps within Canvas:

1. Navigate to the desired location in your Canvas course (e.g., a Page, Assignment).
2. Click the Edit button to open the Rich Content Editor.
3. In the Rich Content Editor toolbar, locate and click the Embed icon. This icon often looks like a cloud with arrows or code brackets (</>). As mentioned in the reference, you will click embed directly in Canvas.
4. A small window or box will appear.
5. Paste the <iframe> embed code you copied from Google Slides into the embed code field.
6. Click Submit or OK.
7. The embedded Google Slides presentation should now appear in the editor.
8. Click Save or Save & Publish on your Canvas item to finalize the changes.
