Google Slides is a cloud based and heavenly presentation platform!

I grew up using PowerPoint UNTIL I discovered Google Slides. Google Slides is so easy to use, easily accessible on any device, and my go to for all my presentations! It has great transitions, templates, and most importantly can be accessed by signing into your GMAIL. You no longer have to worry about whether your PowerPoint presentation will be a valid format on the computer you're presenting on.

Pros

I love how simple it is to use, the templates, and most importantly the fact that you can easily pull up Google Slide presentations simply by logging into your Google account since sometimes computers aren't compatible with PowerPoint.

Cons

Nothing. I absolutely LOVE Google Slides. I have used it for every presentation for years now.

Easy-to-Use Presentation Tool

Google Slides is very useful, quite user friendly, and a simple way to produce presentations across a spectrum of complexity. From interactive libraries of websites and videos to simple text-and-picture slides, Google Slides can do it all. An additional perk is the ability to make a copy of entire Slides presentations and modify them for personal use!

Pros

The best features of Google Slides are its ease of use, customization, integration of other G Suite products, and presentation mode. The array of options that someone can use on Google Slides is staggering; it is accessible to novices and experts in technology. Using this idea, one can really dig deeply to customize slides, creating engaging and interactive presentations. Embedding other G Suite products such as Docs and Drawings is simple, and the ability to create a looping presentation from any Slides project is a plus!

Cons

Though Google Slides are easy to approach for anyone, it is also fairly easy to get overwhelmed. The amount of options available via the toolbar is quite numerous, and this could push away users who are deterred by complicated looking interfaces and too many options.

Overall, it is a great product that I highly recommend.

Pros

I like how convenient and simplistic it is to use this tool.

Cons

I wish there were the ability to add equations like with Google Docs. It's hard to make presentations on research when you have less ability to format scientific and mathematical equations.

The Joy of Google Slides

Overall very pleased with drive, we use it multiple times a year and I myself am pleased with it, I would recommend it to others.

Pros

I like how modular slides is. its easy to drag and drop. our business relies almost entirely on Google Drive so to have a slides program so easily integrated with our drive works well. As with all things Drive, sharing is easy and effortless, which we used A LOT.

Cons

There could be more options when it comes to transitions. Also formatting multiple text areas could be a little more streamline. Mind you I'm no expert at it (yet) but I don't find it particularly intuitive.
Also some sort of snap to grid function to allow multiple text areas to line up nicely would be helpful.

Make Your Presentation Amazing

Pros

I’ve used Google Slides forever, since college. It is easy to not only use but collaborate on. I’ve done numerous presentations online and in groups with Google slides. It is easy for everyone to access, edit, and present with. It is easy to add media to the slides and texts. Since I use Gmail as my main email I like how everything is kept together so I just have to log into my email to access my saved work on Google slides.

Cons

There is limited offline functionality but I usually always have WiFi so it hasn’t been that much of an issue. Google slides app also works on your smart phone.

Excellent collaborative presentations!

Just a wonderful tool when it comes to creating or collaborating on presentations, ensuring you can work anytime/ anywhere/ from any device.

Pros

All around its friendly and intuitive collaboration features. Nice to be able to notify peers, and manage accesses (define who I want to be able to edit the presentation, add comments, or just read-only). Very convenient for all types of presentations that require multiple people to provide their input. Also great to foster team-work. Nice as well, if you need someone specific to make the 'final validation/ review' in an on-line manner.

Cons

I have not found drawbacks in my daily utilization in the last years.

Google Slides: A Collaborative Presentation Powerhouse

For me its simplicity, accessibility, and collaboration features make it an excellent choice for most presentation needs of mine.

Pros

The simplicity of the interface makes it beginner-friendly, and the wide range of templates speeds up the creation process is what I like the most about Google Slides.

Cons

Least enjoyable aspect about Google Slides for me is it can lag when working with presentations that have heavy media, like videos or high-resolution images.

Best presentation partner!

Google slides allows screen sharing easily across multiple platforms. It also allows you to share and work on slides live with others. It is the best presentation site by far!

Pros

I love how easy it is to collaborate with people and work on a something at the same time with live updates. I also find it so convenient how many sites there are that you can import slide templates onto google slides. It is so easy to design presentation visuals and the selection of fonts is endless.

Cons

I have no complaints! I have used google slides for quite sometime and love the ease of use across the whole site.

Thank you, Google, for everything you do

It was the most difficult in the past, and I used another program to do this, but with the advent of Google Slides, it became easy to use and create easily, and it became fun, even with all the current progress, it became interesting.

Pros

In fact, everything is wonderful, suitable for work, easy to use and not complicated, but the things I love most are after adding artificial intelligence tools, it has become very fun and easy while I work.

Cons

In fact, everything is wonderful, suitable for work, easy to use and uncomplicated, but the things I don’t like most after adding artificial intelligence tools are that I become any ordinary person who is not specialized in creating progressive presentations, working and creating a specialized presentation and accurate content.

Google Slides: Your Companion to Smooth and Rich Presentation

Overall, my experience with google slides is satisfying. Almost all features that I need is there. It is also easy to navigate despite the use of screen readers, a software used by persons with visual impairment. I could recommend this to almost everybody, especially for those who attend or conduct online classes, workshops, or even simple presentations.

Pros

I've been using google slides both in work and in school. I allows me to:
-Create an accessible presentation
-Create a presentation both online and offline
-Create presentation with groupmates
-Export presentation to other formats
-Convert presentation to google slides' format
-Create viewable presentation to almost everybody

Cons

The only con I find in google slides is it gets crashed whenever there are many pictures included.
