Co-present Google Slides in Google Meet
Thursday, April 20, 2023
Building upon last year’s announcement of presenting Google Slides directly in Google Meet and the latest ability to view your speaker notes within Meet, we’re adding a new feature that allows multiple people to present together in Meet. As the primary presenter, you can assign participants to co-present Slides with you. As a co-presenter, you can:
- See the audience, presentation, and Slides controls in one window
- Navigate the presentation
- Start and stop media within the presentation
End users
This eliminates the need to ask a colleague to move to the next slide in a presentation, leading to smoother transitions and minimal distractions. In addition, this feature further bridges the gap between people working from different locations.
This feature requires a computer with a Google Chrome browser.
- Admins: There is no admin control for this feature.
- End users:
- As the main presenter:
- To start a presentation, select “present this tab” in Meet > “start slideshow”.
- To add a co-presenter, select "Add co-presenter" in the people panel drop down menus.
- Visit the Help Center to learn more about controlling Slides presentations in Google Meet.
- As a co-presenter:
- You’ll be notified that the primary presenter assigned you as a co-presenter.
- You’ll get control over the Slides presentation, allowing you to navigate the deck for everyone in the meeting.
