While the reference video doesn't provide explicit step-by-step instructions, the implied answer is that you can add videos into Google Slides and even choose which parts of the video to play during the presentation. Here's a more complete answer on how to accomplish this:
There are typically a few methods to insert a video into Google Slides:
-
Insert from Google Drive:
- If your video is already stored in Google Drive, this is the easiest method.
- Go to the slide where you want the video.
- Click Insert in the menu bar.
- Select Video.
- Choose Google Drive.
- Browse your Google Drive to find the video, select it, and click Select.
-
Insert from YouTube:
- This is useful if you want to embed a YouTube video directly.
- Go to the slide where you want the video.
- Click Insert in the menu bar.
- Select Video.
- Choose YouTube.
- You can search for a video using keywords or paste the YouTube video URL.
- Select the video from the search results and click Select.
-
Insert using a URL:
- If you have a direct link to an .mp4 or another compatible video file hosted online, you can use this method.
- Go to the slide where you want the video.
- Click Insert in the menu bar.
- Select Video.
- Choose By URL.
- Paste the video URL into the provided field.

Once the video is inserted:
-
Resize and Position: You can resize and reposition the video on the slide by dragging its corners and moving it around.
-
Format Video Options: To control playback options, such as start and end times:
- Select the video on the slide.
- Click Format Options in the toolbar (or right-click the video and select "Format Options").
- A sidebar will appear with options to:
- Set a start and end time to play only a portion of the video.
- Mute the audio.
- Choose whether the video plays automatically when the slide appears, or on click.
- Loop the video.
Therefore, inserting a video into Google Slides is a straightforward process that allows for flexibility in terms of video source and playback control.
