Google Slides is a reliable and free presentation app. It has strong collaboration capabilities, including the option to take audience questions as you present, but is missing a few features found in PowerPoint.
Interface
Google Slides is free, online presentation software. As part of the G Suite, it has a familiar interface for anyone who has used Google Docs, Sheets, and other apps.
Insert New Slide
When inserting a new slide into a Google Slides slideshow, you have the option of using a template that’s consistent with the theme you’ve selected.
Formatting
Text formatting tools in Google Slides live under the Format menu bar, although keyboard shortcuts are also available for formatting changes.
Transitions
Google Slides includes basic transitions and animations.
Special Presenter Tools
Google Slides has some interactive presentation tools, for example, the ability to provide audience members with a URL where they can submit questions to the presenter. The presenter can then see the questions as they are submitted.
Snapping
Google Slides provides basic layout and design tools, such as automatic snapping and guides to help you center and align content.
Images
Google Slides provides basic layout and design tools, such as automatic snapping and guides to help you center and align content.
Inserting Videos
Videos can also be inserted into a Google Slides slideshow easily, with a YouTube search tool provided right inside the application.
Recoloring Tool
Another simple but helpful tool is an image recoloring bar, where you can quickly filter an image, adjust its transparency, and so forth.
