How to share your Google Slides presentation
- Written by: Emma Trantham
- Categories: Google Slides
- Comments: 4
Wondering how to share a Google Slides presentation? Good news! It’s a pretty simple process. There are multiple ways of sharing a Google Slides deck. The right method for you will depend on how you’re going to deliver the slides, the required file type, and your audience. Do you want to share so that a colleague can proof-read and edit, or so that an online audience has the virtual equivalent of a handout?
As Google Slides exists completely online, sharing your presentation with others isn’t limited to an email attachment. This post will show you how to share Google Slides presentations in five ways, there’s definitely something here to meet your needs!
Share with people and groups
Publish to the web
Download as different file type
Email as attachment
Before we get to that, you need to know where to find the Share function in Google Slides.
- Open Google Slides and click File , in the top bar
- Click Share at the top of the drop-down menu
- Or, click Share at the top right-hand side of your window.
1. How to share Google Slides presentations with people and groups
Using Share with people and groups , you can share your Google Slides presentation with multiple people at once. This is helpful if your teammates need to collaborate in the same deck or if you require feedback from a colleague or client. Share with people and groups allows you to change the editing permissions per contact. You can allow each contact to simply view the document, or add comments, or edit it themselves. The level of permission you choose can be different for each contact you share with, giving you a lot of flexibility.
- Click Share to bring up the Share with people and groups pane.
- Next to Add people and groups , start typing the name or email address of the contact you want to share the deck with. A list of recommendations will appear as you type. Once you’ve selected the right contact, their name will appear at the top of the pane. If the person you want to share with is not already in your contact list, you need to type in their full email address.
- Click the small cross next to a contact name to deselect the contact.
When you share using Share with people and groups , Google will ask the user to log in to their Google account to access your shared file. If the user does not have a Google account, they will be unable to access your deck. Just head to the next section to find out how to grant access to non-Google users.
Now you’ve chosen your contact, you can alter their permissions to change how they are able to interact with the deck. There are three options – Viewer , Commenter , and Editor . Simply click on the option currently visible and a drop-down menu will appear allowing you to choose whether your contact can… well… view, comment on or edit the deck. Pretty self-explanatory, right?
But which permission should you give to who and when?
- Viewer: This will prevent contacts from editing slides. If your deck is completely finished and approved, set the permissions to Viewer to stop contacts accidentally editing – or even deleting – slides from your finished presentation!
- Commenter: The best option for gathering feedback. If your contact has limited knowledge of Google Slides, direct them towards our handy Ultimate Guide to Google Slides post so that they can brush up! In the meantime, share your deck using the Commenter function. This way, contacts can comment without being able to rearrange slides, or change text or animations.
- Editor: Perfect for collaborative projects. Editor allows you to share an editable version of your deck. Everyone with this permission can work on the same slides at the same time. This means you don’t end up with multiple versions of the same deck.

Once you’ve selected one of these permission options, you’re free to hit Send . If you tick Notify people , your contact will receive an email letting them know that they have permission to access or interact with your deck.
In the Share with people and groups pane, the owner of the Google Slides presentation appears at the top. Beneath that, you can see who has access to the deck and the status of their permissions. If you want to change someone’s permissions, press the yellow Share button at any time and edit permissions using the same drop-down menu.
To stop sharing with a specific person:
- Click Share and scroll to the contact you want to remove
- Click the drop-down arrow next to their name
- Select Remove
- Click Save .
Notice the Give temporary access and Make owner options. If you choose to Give temporary access , you can edit the number of days that your contact has access to your deck. All you have to do is click the number of days next to Access expires to change the expiration date. This can be a great option if you’re working with people outside of your organization, such as clients or agencies. For example, you can schedule the expiration date for the end of a project, once the feedback has been received and the work completed.
Make owner allows you to pass ownership of the deck to another user. After you’ve created a presentation you might need to hand it over, to the presenter for example. You can use this option to give someone else complete control. Use it with caution, however. Once you’ve handed over ownership, you cannot retrieve it – unless the new owner hands it back or chooses to grant you access permissions.
Top tip: If you’re the owner of the deck (if you have created it yourself or have been given ownership by the original creator), there are further sharing options. When you click Share , you’ll notice a cog appears in the top right-hand corner pop up. This allows you to choose whether your Editors can change permissions and share or if Viewers and commenters can see the option to download, print, and copy. All you have to do is tick or untick the box. Easy!
2. How to share a Google Slides presentation via a link
In this window you can also get a link.
- Click the blue Copy link button.
- Paste the link anywhere, from an email draft to a Microsoft Teams chat
This link will only work for people who have been given permission to view, edit or comment on the deck. To change this:
- Click Share
- In the Get link section, press Change .
- Choose whether your deck is Restricted or if Anyone with the link can view. Note: when you change a link’s setting to Restricted , the only people who can still see the deck are those you have directly shared with in the Share with people and groups section.
Though the Anyone with link function can be useful, it’s not the most secure option. Remember: the users that you originally shared the link with can continue to share the link with their friends, colleagues, and contacts too, meaning your presentation can be shared endlessly and with anyone! If your deck contains confidential content, you should not use this method.
3. How to publish a Google Slides presentation to the web
If you don’t want your viewers to edit your deck, then Share with groups and people may not be the option for you. Instead, choose to Publish to the web . With this option, your deck becomes non-editable, it will simply play as if your deck was a video; auto-advancing through the slides. This means that the viewer won’t have control over which slides they view or the order they view them in. The content of your slides will be visible to anyone and everyone when publishing to the web, so be careful about choosing this option if your slides contain confidential information.
- Click File
- Select Publish to the web
- Choose Link or Embed. You can share the URL with your contacts, or you can embed the link on a website or blog
- Choose how your slides playback using the drop-down menu beneath Auto-advance slides
- Click Publish
- Copy the URL or HTML and share your deck
4. How to download a Google Slides deck as different file type
Another method of sharing (or saving) your slides involves downloading the deck as a different type of file.
- Under File select Download .
- Select the format you need (Microsoft PowerPoint (.pptx), PDF Document (.pdf), or JPEG Image (.jpeg)), and the download will begin.
- Open your file
While there are many formats available, we don’t recommend all of them. For example, when downloading as an Image, whether PNG or JPEG, the quality of your slides can be lost, the presentation will be static, and you can only download one slide at a time. If you’re printing or emailing your deck, downloading as a PDF is the best option to get a static version of your slides.
Since PowerPoint is the closest option to Slides, this format retains the presentability of the deck. However, there’s a chance that your content will corrupt or break as not all features are transferable between file formats. Check for any changes and make tweaks – like removing animations – before sending your presentation to your contacts. To find out more about the differences between PowerPoint and Slides, check out 9 Google Slides features we wish PowerPoint had or if you want to try different platforms to PowerPoint, we recommend The ULTIMATE Guide to PowerPoint Alternatives .
5. How to email your Google Slides presentations as an attachment
If all these sharing options still aren’t quite cutting it, there’s one more! To share your slides via email:
- Select Email as attachment
- Type the name or email address of your contact
- Pick the file type your deck
- Add a message, then hit Send
That’s the last of our five tips on how to share a Google Slides presentation.

What is the name of piece that I attach to my chromebook that allows me to present Google slides
Hi Milton. I’m not sure what you mean – could you please clarify?
Hello, My PowerPoint contains an audio file. I uploaded it to Google Sites (new) and there’s no audio. So I uploaded my PowerPoint to Google Slides and inserted that into my Google portfolio Site hoping that would fix the problem. It didn’t. Can you tell me how to get the audio file to upload to my portfolio site, along with my slides? Thank you! Pam
Hi, I am looking for a way to have Google slides running on a laptop or tablet and instead of the presentation going to a screen, to go live i.e. as it would on a projecter in a URL that I can tell people about, so they can use it with their mobile phones, tablets etc. The sort of application would be for Carol singing, each slide would have no more than two lines to allow for large type and as it goes through the verses it shows on singers devices, one slide at a time. This of course would be outside, i.e. people would at best use mobile data, or if it would work for a larger number by wifi tethering (wifi provided by 1phone/tablet. Thank you, Sam

How to Share Presentations: 5 Apps and Tricks to Publish Slides Online
Documents get printed, websites get published, spreadsheets get filed away for accountants to double-check later. Presentations, though, get presented. After all the time you spend making slides in PowerPoint, Keynote, or other presentation apps, often you only show those slides during a meeting or talk, then save them in case you give that talk again.
Your slides can do the same for your business. Here are the best ways to get extra results from your presentation by putting it online.
The Simple Option: Embed Presentations From Your Presentation App
Tip : Deskset and Evernote Presentation Mode don’t include embeds, but you can export your presentation as a PDF, then embed it online using any of the tools below.
Either way, you’ll need to promote the presentation yourself. These tools are a great option if you already have a popular blog and want to embed a copy of your presentation in it along with your own presentation notes.
The Social Option: Three Apps to Share Presentations
Sharing a link to your presentation or embedding it in your site is a great way to let your followers know about your talk. Want to reach new people? Presentation sharing apps are the better option. They’re social networks built around presentations, for an easier way both to publish your presentation and help people find it.
Save a copy of your presentation in PowerPoint or PDF format. Then upload your presentation file to one of these apps, and add a name, description, category, and other details. You can then share a link to your presentation or embed it on your site, as with online presentation apps. Best of all, your presentation will now be publicly visible online, and should get new visitors through Google and search inside that presentation app. That makes your presentation a way to share your ideas with a far wider audience who might not otherwise have found your presentation on your blog.
Here are the best options from ten tools we’ve tried:
.css-yjptlz-Link{all:unset;box-sizing:border-box;-webkit-text-decoration:underline;text-decoration:underline;cursor:pointer;-webkit-transition:all 300ms ease-in-out;transition:all 300ms ease-in-out;outline-offset:1px;-webkit-text-fill-color:currentColor;outline:1px solid transparent;}.css-yjptlz-Link[data-color='ocean']{color:#3d4592;}.css-yjptlz-Link[data-color='ocean']:hover{color:#2b2358;}.css-yjptlz-Link[data-color='ocean']:focus{color:#3d4592;outline-color:#3d4592;}.css-yjptlz-Link[data-color='white']{color:#fffdf9;}.css-yjptlz-Link[data-color='white']:hover{color:#a8a5a0;}.css-yjptlz-Link[data-color='white']:focus{color:#fffdf9;outline-color:#fffdf9;}.css-yjptlz-Link[data-color='primary']{color:#3d4592;}.css-yjptlz-Link[data-color='primary']:hover{color:#2b2358;}.css-yjptlz-Link[data-color='primary']:focus{color:#3d4592;outline-color:#3d4592;}.css-yjptlz-Link[data-color='secondary']{color:#fffdf9;}.css-yjptlz-Link[data-color='secondary']:hover{color:#a8a5a0;}.css-yjptlz-Link[data-color='secondary']:focus{color:#fffdf9;outline-color:#fffdf9;}.css-yjptlz-Link[data-weight='inherit']{font-weight:inherit;}.css-yjptlz-Link[data-weight='normal']{font-weight:400;}.css-yjptlz-Link[data-weight='bold']{font-weight:700;} SlideShare
For clipping favorite slides from popular presentations
You can upload a PDF or PowerPoint file to SlideShare, then add a description, category, and tags to help people discover it—along with additional presentation files or YouTube videos if you want. SlideShare will automatically copy the text out of your slides and include them under it to help your presentation show up in search results. You can also add links to slides, to send viewers to your website. Then, anyone who views your presentation can click through it online, download a PDF copy, or add a comment.
SlideShare includes one other handy tool: A Clip Slide button on presentations so you can save slides you like to your own collection. That’s a great way to build a library of inspiration from other presentations you find on SlideShare, with quotes and ideas you could then reference in your future presentations.

For embedding specific slides from a presentation
The best reason to share your presentation on Scribd, though, is that its Embed tool offers far more options. Use the Autosize embed option to match the embed to your slide size, then on down the embed page under Options , choose the Slideshow style to let viewers click between slides (with the default Scroll option, they’ll need to scroll down as in a PDF file to view next slides). You can also set which page—or slide—to show first, if you’d like to embed different parts of your presentation in separate blog posts, perhaps.
Scribd Price: Free to publish and view free content; subscription from $9.99/month to read unlimited paid eBooks
The Streaming Option: Present Your Slides Online in Real Time
Want to present online in real-time, where people can follow your presentation online during your talk? That’s another way to build buzz around your talk and expand your audience. Even if your presentation app doesn’t include a streaming tool, there are other options.
Or, you could use an app designed around streaming presentations—essentially standalone versions of the built-in streaming tools in Keynote and Zoho Slides. Here are two great options.
.css-yjptlz-Link{all:unset;box-sizing:border-box;-webkit-text-decoration:underline;text-decoration:underline;cursor:pointer;-webkit-transition:all 300ms ease-in-out;transition:all 300ms ease-in-out;outline-offset:1px;-webkit-text-fill-color:currentColor;outline:1px solid transparent;}.css-yjptlz-Link[data-color='ocean']{color:#3d4592;}.css-yjptlz-Link[data-color='ocean']:hover{color:#2b2358;}.css-yjptlz-Link[data-color='ocean']:focus{color:#3d4592;outline-color:#3d4592;}.css-yjptlz-Link[data-color='white']{color:#fffdf9;}.css-yjptlz-Link[data-color='white']:hover{color:#a8a5a0;}.css-yjptlz-Link[data-color='white']:focus{color:#fffdf9;outline-color:#fffdf9;}.css-yjptlz-Link[data-color='primary']{color:#3d4592;}.css-yjptlz-Link[data-color='primary']:hover{color:#2b2358;}.css-yjptlz-Link[data-color='primary']:focus{color:#3d4592;outline-color:#3d4592;}.css-yjptlz-Link[data-color='secondary']{color:#fffdf9;}.css-yjptlz-Link[data-color='secondary']:hover{color:#a8a5a0;}.css-yjptlz-Link[data-color='secondary']:focus{color:#fffdf9;outline-color:#fffdf9;}.css-yjptlz-Link[data-weight='inherit']{font-weight:inherit;}.css-yjptlz-Link[data-weight='normal']{font-weight:400;}.css-yjptlz-Link[data-weight='bold']{font-weight:700;} Presentain
For a live stream of your slides with polls and videos
Then use the Presentain mobile app to start the presentation, switch slides, add polls where your audience can share their thoughts in real-time, and play YouTube videos embedded in your presentation.

How to share your powerpoint presentation.
There are other ways to share your presentation besides email. Upload it to the cloud and get a shareable link!
Quick Links
Sharing your powerpoint presentation.
Aside from the traditional method of sending a PowerPoint presentation to others as an email attachment, you can also upload and share your presentation from the cloud. All you need to get started is a OneDrive account. Here’s how.
You can save a PowerPoint presentation to the cloud fairly easily. In fact, it takes only a few simple clicks. For this to work, though, you’ll need a OneDrive account. If you use Office 365, then you already have one. If not, all you need to do is create a Microsoft account and then sign in to OneDrive. This article will assume you already have a OneDrive account.
Related: How to Share Things from OneDrive
First, open the PowerPoint presentation that you’d like to share. At the top-right corner of the window, you’ll see a “Share” button. Go ahead and select it.
Once selected, the “Share” window will appear. You have a few different options here. In the “Attach a copy instead” group, you can choose to send your presentation as a PowerPoint or PDF attachment. Selecting either of these options will open your computer’s default mail client.
What we’re interested in, though, is sharing to OneDrive. To do this, select your OneDrive account under “Share.”
If you haven’t already named your presentation, you’ll be prompted to do so. After you give it a name, click “OK.”
Your presentation will now be uploaded to the cloud and the “Share” pane will appear on the right-hand side. This is where you can invite people to edit (or read) the document. In the address bar, enter the email of the recipient. Alternatively, select the icon to the right of the address bar and select a recipient from your Outlook address book.
After you’ve entered the recipient’s email, you can then assign a permission level. Once you’ve given read/write or read-only permission, you can then add an optional message. When you’re ready, click “Share.”
The recipient will receive an email providing access to the presentation.
Note: If you’re the recipient, be sure to check your spam folder! During our testing, we found the invitation in spam.
An alternative method for inviting people is to get a sharing link. At the bottom of the “Share” pane, select “Get a sharing link.”
Next, choose which type of link you’d like to provide. You can choose between a read/write link or read-only link.
A link will then be generated. Select “Copy” to copy the link to your clipboard.
Anyone you share this link with will then have access to the presentation. This will allow multiple people to collaborate on your presentation in real-time !

How to Create Top SlideShare Presentations With PowerPoint
How would you like to get your professional business presentation in front of thousands, or even millions, of readers?
With a SlideShare presentation, you've got the potential to reach a large audience. SlideShare's own recent statistics show that the site has over 70 million visitors. Getting your message out to just a portion of those visitors could make a huge impact on your business.
Since SlideShare presentations can be shared publicly through social media, your information also has the potential to go viral—making the audience for your company's SlideShare presentation even larger.
In this tutorial, you'll learn how to create a SlideShare presentation. We'll give you a brief overview on SlideShare. Then, we'll take you through the basics of how to make a presentation using PowerPoint. Next, we'll explain how to upload your professional presentation to SlideShare. Finally, we'll discuss how you can promote your SlideShare presentation to help it go viral.
Guide to Making Great Presentations (Free eBook Download)
Before you read on, be sure to grab our Free eBook: The Complete Guide to Making Great Presentations . It will help you master the presentation process, from: initial idea, through to writing, design, and delivering with impact.
Now, let's take a deeper look at SlideShare before learning how to create online presentations with PowerPoint that are sharable.
1. SlideShare Overview
SlideShare is an online sharing service that allows you to upload and share your PowerPoint slideshows, other types of presentations, infographics, or videos. The SlideShare platform is owned by LinkedIn.
SlideShare has millions of professional users, and the site has even more monthly visitors. A presentation or document shared on SlideShare could be seen by a large number of viewers. This makes it an ideal tool for sharing your business message and generating traffic to your website.
2. Choose a Presentation Topic
Before you even start to create your PowerPoint SlideShare presentation, carefully consider the topic your presentation will cover.
The best SlideShare presentation topics are:
- Concise. If you share too much information your prospective client probably won't make it through the entire presentation. It's better to be brief and to the point.
- Targeted. Keep your audience and the goal for your SlideShare presentation in mind. Ask: what does this audience need to know about our business? Then ask: how do I want this audience to respond?
Research is another important component of a successful PowerPoint SlideShare presentation. The most informative and useful presentations are the ones those that provide helpful and accurate information. Those are the presentations that tend to get shared. So, do your homework well.
After you've selected your presentation topic, decide how the information will be organized. Here are just a few examples of how you could organize your presentation:
- As a tutorial-type guide
- As an informative presentation
Once you've chosen a topic and thought about organization, it's time to pick the presentation design that works best for your goal and your information.
3. Pick a Presentation Design
First impressions are important, especially when it comes to SlideShare presentations. Remember that your presentation may be the first time that some viewers learn about your company. How your SlideShare presentation looks makes a difference. Your presentation design could make or break your presentation.
If you're a professional designer (or have one on staff), you can probably create an eye-catching PowerPoint design template if you have time. But most companies either don't have access to a designer or don't have the time to make their own template.
A professional PowerPoint template design can help. Using a pre-designed professional template can save you hours of work. For a lot of businesses, using a template is the right choice.
Envato's GraphicRiver has a wide selection professional PowerPoint templates available. You can preview a selection of some of our most popular templates in this article:
As you can see, these PowerPoint templates feature an eye-catching appearance with numerous unique slide designs included. Plus, you can customize them by using your own color scheme and adding graphic elements specific to your business such as your logo.
However, if you still want to design your own PowerPoint template, the tips to follow are in this helpful tutorial:
4. Write Your Presentation
Once you've selected a topic, it's time to write the presentation.
This section discusses how to go about writing an effective presentation. Here are four of the important elements of a SlideShare presentation that are often overlooked as it written:
- Title. The title slide is the first thing a viewer sees. Your title needs to be compelling enough to make your reader want to see more of your presentation.
- Keywords. You may think that keywords aren't important in a SlideShare presentation, but a SlideShare is considered online content. It can be found by search engines.
- Clickable Links . Because your PowerPoint SlideShare presentation will be published online, include clickable links in your presentation. It will help bring visitors right to your website.
- Call to Action. Your call to action tells the viewer what you want them to do next. Often, it includes a clickable link to your website or other online page.
Keep these elements in mind as you write your presentation. For more detailed instruction on writing a presentation, study these tutorials:
You can also refer to the "Plan and Write a Powerful Presentation" section in our Presentations eBook, The Complete Guide to Making Great Presentations , for even more guidance on writing a powerful presentation.
5. Create Your Presentation in PowerPoint
Your next task is to create your online presentation using PowerPoint.
To create your presentation, look at the basic steps below. Or, for more detailed instructions on using PowerPoint, study:
Here are the seven basic steps to creating your presentation:
Step 1. Open a Blank PowerPoint Presentation
To get started with creating a PowerPoint presentation, open a blank PowerPoint presentation. PowerPoint opens with some recent presentations and template suggestions displayed:
We're going to use a premium PowerPoint template design, so click on the Open Other Presentations link in the lower left corner.
Step 2. Apply a Pro PowerPoint Template
The next step is to open a Premium PPT template to use with this presentation. For a more complete discussion of how to download and apply a template, refer to:
To get to where your template is stored on your computer, use the Browse icon (it looks like a folder):
Double-click on the folder icon where your presentation template is stored. Click the .pptx template file you want to use and click the Open button.
The best slideshow size for a SlideShare presentation is the 4.3 ratio. So, we'll select the folder that contains the 4x3 templates.
Learn more about PowerPoint slide dimensions in this tutorial:
Here's what our presentation looks like so far:
For this example, we'll be using the Simplicity presentation template from Envato's GraphicRiver. Discover new PowerPoint templates available on GraphicRiver.
As you can see in the illustration above, the various slide designs available in this template display as thumbnails on the left of screen. The current slide appears to the right.
Before we go any further, rename the template to the file name you want to use to your presentation.
Step 3. Add Your Presentation Text
Now that you've got your template open, it's time to add your presentation text. Let's start with the text for the title slide.
Remember that the title slide is the first part of your presentation a viewer will see. So, take some extra time crafting the best title for your audience.
Here's the title slide for this PowerPoint SlideShare presentation:
Because you used a presentation template, you don't really need to do hefty design work here (other than resizing the title).
For a complete tutorial on how to add text to a PowerPoint presentation, study:
Step 4. Add New Slides
Once you've created the title, you're ready to create the additional slides of your presentation. Start by browsing through the pre-designed slides to see which ones you can use that matches your material best. Use the scroll bar to right of the template thumbnails to move through them.
Select any thumbnails you don't need by clicking on them. Press the Delete key on your keyboard to remove them from the presentation.
Once you've decided which slide designs you want to use, you may need to rearrange the order of your slides. To move a slide, click on it and drag it to the position where you'd like it to be.
Type over the text information on each template slide with your own information. Be careful about adding too much to any one slide though. Keep each slide focused.
Step 5. Place Your Images
One way to make your presentation stand out is by adding images. For our example SlideShare presentation, I added this image:
Note: We've used a royalty-free image from Envato's PhotoDune as an example here.
For a complete guide on working with images in PowerPoint, refer to:
Step 6. Add a Conclusion and Call to Action
Once you've added all the slides you need to your presentation, it's time to create the last slide. The last slide should include a call to action. This is a good place to add a prominant link.
Here's the call to action on my sample presentation:
Step 7. Save Your Online SlideShare Presentation
When your presentation is complete, save it for upload to SlideShare
One of the easiest formats to upload to SlideShare is a .pdf file. To export your SlideShare presentation to PDF format, go to the File screen. Click Export and then click the Create PDF/XPS icon:
Select the folder where you want to save your PDF file. Check that the file is named properly. Then, click the Publish button.
6. Publishing Your SlideShare Online
Now that you've created a presentation for sharing online, you're ready to upload it to SlideShare.
Step 1. Access SlideShare
To access SlideShare, type www.slideshare.net into your web browser's Address field. If you're not logged into your SlideShare account, do so now. Or, log in using LinkedIn or Facebook. The main SlideShare screen displays:
As you look at the screen, notice that there's a Search field on the top left. Use search to find SlideShare slideshows on topics of interest to you.
In the bottom center, under Today's Top SlideShares , which are the SlideShares with the most views today. Use the scroll bar on the right to browse through these presentations.
Step 2. Upload Your Presentation to SlideShare
To upload your presentation, click the Upload button on the upper right. The Upload a File screen appears:
Click the Select files to upload button. Navigate to the folder where your presentation is stored. Select your presentation file, and click Open . The maximum size for an uploaded file is 300 MB. If your presentation file is larger than that, edit it down so it meets the requirement.
Note: You can also upload a file from Dropbox or drag and drop a file from your desktop.
The SlideShare system shows the Upload screen:
Notice the preview of your SlideShare presentation at the top of the screen.
Step 3. Fill Out the Upload Screen
Use the scroll bars on the right of the screen to view the fields below your uploaded presentation:
Here are the fields on this screen and some tips for filling out each field:
- Title . Type the title of your presentation. Be sure to include a keyword.
- Description. The presentation description is one of the most important fields that'll allow others to find your SlideShare presentation. Make it relevant and engaging. Don't stuff this field with keywords, but do include a few.
- Categories. Click the arrow to the right of the field to select one of SlideShare's pre-defined categories. Choose the category most relevant to your presentation.
- Privacy . Click the arrow to the right to choose from between one of three privacy settings: Public , Limited , Private .
- Tags. Enter up to 20 tags in this field. Your tags can include keywords for search engine optimization.
- Discoverability Score. The system automatically calculates a value based on how discoverable your content will be. You score increases as you fill out the fields on the Upload screen.
Note: Select Public in the Privacy field to allow others to discover your presentation. The Limited option means only those with a link to the SlideShare can view it. If you choose Private , only you can see the presentation.
When you're finished, click the Publish button on lower right corner.
Step 4. Edit Your SlideShare Presentation Settings
Just because you've published your PowerPoint SlideShare presentation doesn't mean you can't change the settings.
To change the SlideShare settings for your presentation, click on the icon with your image in the upper right corner of the main SlideShare screen. Select My Uploads from the drop-down menu. The My Uploads tab displays:
All of your currently published presentations are shown on this screen. Use the scroll bar on the right to find the presentation you want to edit. Click in the check box to the left of the SlideShare presentation once you find it to select it.
Click the Edit button to open the Edit Details tab:
Note: Although the word Edit is used here and on the previous screen, you can't actually change the contents of your presentation unless you re-upload it. Edit here refers to changing the settings of a published SlideShare.
Use the Edit Details tab to change information you entered in the Title field, the Description field, or the Tags field. You can also select a new category for your presentation.
At the bottom of the screen, you'll see some additional settings:
- Language. Choose a wide variety of language options from the drop-down menu, ranging from Afrikaans to Vietnamese .
- Player Background Color . The default is Black , but you can choose White .
- Choose a license . The default is All Rights Reserved . Other drop-down menu selections include various types of Creative Commons licenses.
Click the Update button on the bottom left when you've finished making changes.
To change the privacy setting for your PowerPoint SlideShare, click the Privacy Settings tab. The Privacy Settings tab also allows you to schedule a date to make your slideshow public. And you can allow users to download your presentation and/or embed it on their website. When you've changing your privacy settings, click the Update button.
7. Promoting Your SlideShare Presentation
After you've created and published your SlideShare presentation, increase the number of people who see your presentation by promoting it. The more people who see your slideshow, the more potential customers you'll get.
Promoting your SlideShare slideshow is very much like how you would promote other items of web content online. Here are three promotion tips:
- Share your presentation on social media. Add posts linking to your presentation on Twitter. Pin it to Pinterest. Post it on Facebook. And of course, don't forget to share it on LinkedIn.
- Embed the presentation on your website . If someone visits your website and wants to learn more about your product or services, a link to your SlideShare presentation just might provide the information they need.
- Email your presentation link in your newsletter . If your SlideShare contains new or updated information, you can make sure your current clients and prospects know about it by sharing a link through to your email subscribers.
For a more detailed look at how to use social media, read through this tutorial:

How to Easily Create a SlideShare Presentation
Updated: January 06, 2021
Published: January 05, 2021
You know how hot visual content is, and you want to jump on board to enjoy the engagement, traffic, and leads that follow. But maybe you're not keen on writing a blog post, and you don't have the production resources to create videos. What to do? Create a SlideShare presentation.
What is a SlideShare presentation?
A SlideShare presentation is a presentation hosted on SlideShare.net, a hosting service for presentations and infographics that functions as the world's largest content sharing community. By submitting a SlideShare presentation, you have the opportunity to get your content in front of their more than 80 million monthly visitors.
I know, I know. You may have felt personally victimized by PowerPoint sometime in your career. When you open it up, you're hit with stark black Calibri font on a white background, killing any creative spark you may have felt. It's daunting enough to create a 10-slide deck to report your monthly marketing metrics -- never mind putting together slides that can be seen by the large volume of SlideShare users.
Well, there's good news: Creating a SlideShare presentation in PowerPoint doesn't have to be that daunting. With the right templates and tools at your disposal, you could easily create an engaging, visual presentation -- all without fancy design programs, huge budgets, or hiring contractors.
How to Create a Stunning SlideShare Presentation in PowerPoint
To help you make a SlideShare of your own, we've created some free PowerPoint presentation templates for making awesome SlideShares. That way, your presentations will look great and be a breeze to put together.
Download the free PowerPoint templates , scroll down, and we'll walk through how to use them. When we're done, you'll know exactly how to create a sexy presentation that gets featured on SlideShare's homepage. Ready? Let's dive in.
1. Get a feel for the types of presentations you can find on SlideShare.
Just as you'd master any other medium, it helps to consume other content in that medium to get an idea of the format and what works. Go to SlideShare.net and discover SlideShares that interest you. You can view them on the platform or download them to your computer and peruse them on your local machine.
SlideShare Presentation Download
Here's how to download a PowerPoint from SlideShare:
- Sign up for a SlideShare account.
- Navigate to the SlideShare presentation that you want to download.
- Click the button labeled " Download ."
- When asked if you want to clip the slide, click " Continue to download ."
- Click " Save File " and then confirm by clicking " OK ."
Some may not download as a .ppt file, and some may not be available to download at all. However, this method works in all other cases.
2. Decide on fonts and a color scheme.
Before you get too caught up in the specifics of your storyline, figure out which fonts and color scheme you want to use. (If you're using our free templates , you can skip this part.)
When you're choosing fonts , consider two different ones to use throughout your presentation -- one for your headers and one for your body text. Your header font should be bold and eye-catching, and your body text font should be simple and easy to read. The contrast between the two will make it much easier for your SlideShare viewers to grasp your core messages.
For your color scheme, pick a scheme that will have enough contrast between colors to make colors stand out. Whether you decide to use two, three, or four different colors in your presentation is up to you -- but certain color combinations go together better than others.
Below is an example of what certain fonts and color combinations can look like. Notice how the header fonts stand out much more than the body? You can also see what different color palettes might look like: The top is monochromatic, the middle is complementary, and the bottom is analogous.
3. Outline main takeaways and crucial sub-bullets.
Next up: Creating an outline for your SlideShare's narrative. I like to treat SlideShare outlines just like I would blog posts -- you decide on the working title and main takeaways first. Then, you elaborate on those sections with a few supporting points.
For each of those components (title, section headers, and a few supporting points), create a slide. Below is an example of what those slides might look like:
Supporting Points
You'll also want to create slide placeholders for the call-to-action and conclusion slides (you don't need to elaborate on them just yet).
Keep in mind that these slides should not be complex -- just a title and maybe a few details that you want to remember down the road. No paragraphs. No supporting images. Nothing that's not built into your template already.
4. Fill out the body of your presentation.
Then, fill in the meat of the content -- all the slides between the headers. Just make sure you're not relying too much on text. SlideShare is a primarily visual platform -- people are used to breezing through presentations. So if your presentation reads like an ebook, you should edit down the text and rely more heavily on visual content.
Another thing to remember is to switch up your format from slide to slide. Try doing a checklist slide followed by, say, a quote slide -- it keeps people on their toes as they flip through your presentation.
5. Add introduction slides.
After you've created the majority of your SlideShare presentation, head back to the start. Wonder why we didn't begin here? It'll be much easier to tee up the bulk of your content if you already know what that content is about. In this step, just introduce what you just wrote about -- it'll be a breeze.
6. Wrap up the conclusion.
Then, head to the end of your SlideShare and wrap it up in a slide or two. There is nothing more jarring than going from a body slide right to a CTA slide. You only need a slide or two to conclude your presentation, but it should naturally tee up the CTA that you will have next.
7. Add a call-to-action slide.
At the verrrrrry end of your SlideShare, you want to keep your viewers engaged by providing a call-to-action. The CTA could be about downloading an ebook, attending an event, or even just visiting your website -- pretty much any CTA you'd like to include. Here are two CTA slide examples that we included in the SlideShare template:
8. Edit, edit, edit.
You're almost there! Next, you need to go through and edit your copy and design components. Try to get another coworker -- marketer or not -- to give it a once over. If you need some direction, you can use our ultimate editing checklist to make sure you're catching everything you can.
9. Add "animated slides" and clickable links.
Though it's easy to create a presentation in PowerPoint and upload it immediately to SlideShare, not all of the same features will appear in both programs. As a result, there are two things you'll need to add in: "animated slides" and clickable links.
As far as slide animation goes, SlideShare does not support PowerPoint animations. This means that all of those smooth entrances you planned for your text boxes and objects go out the window once you upload your presentation to SlideShare. But, it's easy to manually introduce new elements on a series of slides to make it seem like it's "animated."
Once you've built in your animations, you'll also need to make sure people can actually click on the CTAs in your presentation.
10. Upload your PDF to SlideShare.
After you're finished with your clickable links, your presentation will be in a PDF format. At this point, you're ready for the final step: uploading your PDF to SlideShare. When you do this, you have the option to add a description and tags, and even schedule the SlideShare to go live at a certain time. Once your SlideShare is live, you should spend some time promoting it on your blog and social media accounts, and to your email lists. (For more SlideShare promotion tips, check out this blog post .)
Just follow this process when you need to create a SlideShare presentation, and you won't have to fear that blank PowerPoint template ever again.

Share a link to a specific PowerPoint slide
There’s a way to link someone to view a specific slide in a PowerPoint presentaion which is a lot faster than hunting through a big slide deck.
Requirements
Link to this slide, check the share permissions, sharing settings, edit / view only / no download, or there’s another way ….
Providing a direct link to a specific part of your slideshow not only streamlines the process of receiving feedback but also enables them to locate the content you want them to review more efficiently.
PowerPoint simplifies the process with its “Link to This Slide” feature, generating a direct link that opens the file at the specific slide in your presentation.
The presentation has to be saved in cloud storage that the receiver/s can also access it. If the presentation isn’t already saved online, modern Office will help you do that.
Launch PowerPoint presentation stored on your local drive. Next, navigate to the specific slide you wish to share. Then, right-click on the desired slide and a shortcut menu pops up. From this menu, select the option “Link To This Slide” to generate a direct link to the chosen slide within your presentation.
Selecting “Share Link To This Slide,” will prompt you to upload your presentation to OneDrive to allow sharing.
Office just dumps the file into your OneDrive account, you’ll probably want to choose a specific folder instead.
Once the presentation is saved in a cloud location, you can share it or a slide. Do that from PowerPoint on the web or modern PowerPoint for Windows/Mac. Click on the slide in the slide navigator and select the “Link To This Slide” option.
The system generates a direct link that is ready to be shared but before you copy , check what permissions you’re giving to access the presentation and to whom.
Under the link is a short note to indicate the sharing settings for the current link. Click on Settings to change or verify the sharing. Or select the copy option, and you’ll receive a notification confirming that the link has been copied.
For more specific access privileges, go to the Settings option to customize permissions for reviewers or audience. You can choose with whom you want to share your files. This typically involves setting access permissions or sharing settings with user or user groups.
The sharing settings can include any of the following options, depending on the type of account (personal, business etc).
“Anyone With The Link Can Edit.” – permits anyone with access to the link to edit the slide’s content. This functionality facilitates effective collaboration and sharing among teams or groups. Opting for this setting grants editing privileges to anyone possessing the link.
“People in the Organization – accessible by the organization with the privileges to access the link.
“People you choose – selectively available.
Customize the access privileges more from the More Settings option, where you can define specific permissions, such as editing, viewing, and downloading for reviewers or audience.
Finalize the process by clicking on the “Apply” button ensuring that the changes take effect according to your preferences.
Once you’ve configured the access privileges and applied the changes, you can proceed to share the link via email to the intended audience. Simply copy the link generated by the sharing feature and paste it into your email or other message.
At risk of stating the obvious, there’s another way to share a single slide with ‘read only’ access.
Take a screen shot of the slide and paste it into an email or message.
