How to Add Animations in Google Sites

To add animations in Google Sites, you typically create the animated content using external tools and then insert it into your site. One method, as described in the reference, involves using the animation feature in Google Photos to create an animated slideshow from your images, which can then be added to your site.

Creating an Animated Slideshow with Google Photos

The provided reference outlines how to create an animated slideshow using Google Photos. This process generates an animation (often saved as a GIF) that you can then use on your Google Sites page.

Here are the steps to create an animated slideshow using Google Photos:

1. Access Google Photos and locate the option to create new content.
2. Click the + icon at the top of the Google Photos interface (or click the 3-dot icon if you are using the mobile version).
3. From the options presented, select Animation.
4. You will be prompted to choose the images you want to include in your animation. Click to select each image that you wish to be part of the animated slideshow.
5. Once you have selected all the desired images, click the Create button to generate the animation.

Google Photos will process your selected images and produce an animated file, which will typically be saved as an animated GIF.

Inserting the Animation into Your Google Site

After creating your animated slideshow in Google Photos, you will have an animated image file (like a GIF). You can then add this animation to your Google Sites page like you would any other image or file.

While the provided reference snippet focuses on the creation process, based on the context of inserting images and animated GIFs into Google Sites, the general method for adding the created animation would be to:

1. Download or obtain the animated GIF file created in Google Photos.
2. In your Google Site editor, navigate to the page where you want to add the animation.
3. Use the Insert menu.
4. Select the Images option and upload the animated GIF file from your computer, or select it from your Google Drive or Photos if it's stored there.
5. Place and resize the animated image as needed on your page.

This process allows you to leverage the animation capabilities of Google Photos and display the resulting animated slideshow directly on your Google Sites page, adding visual interest and dynamic content.
