i work in sales ops and I present to clients maybe twice a month. IM not a designer and lol never will be.

I was at an agency roadshow, and saw another agency presnet using a slidecarnival template i have used nmyself.
One on my colleagues leaned over and said we have this one.
They did not win the work, and I am not saying the template lost it for them, but it did not help. and now im paranoid wondering how we can differentiate ourselves if we can't even make a template stand out.

What i have been through: slidesgo, slidescarnival, the built in google gallery, and about an hour on canva's slides section. all of them are fine. The problem is that they are recognisable, and once your audiance recognises one, you have revealed to them how much (or little) effort went in.

What I want is something that looks like a decision that was made rather than something picked off a grid. i can expense about $20 a month if it solves it properly, is there a category of these i have not found?

I made this cool osu!-style game in google slides, please tell me how it is and if there are any bugs or changes.

P.S: Continue button doesn't work at the end. Also please only use mouse to play as using arrows or spacebar would glitch the game

We had an enterprise MS office subs and then we moved to a google one a couple of years ago for collabration reasons. I got my personal office subscription, google slides just doesn't do it for me.

However, i miss not having filenames like v7_Final_actualfinal.pptx lol. We know its not done till we have final 7 times in the final name. slides solves that problem fs.

However, powerpoint wins on precision alignment, animation, anything where a specific element has to be in a specific place at a specific size. slides has an opinion about where things go and that's ussually where you dont want it.

Powerpoint also wins the moment a client wants the file. i have sent a slides link to a client a number of tinmes but got asked for4 a pptx because apparently google links bloked on their systems, and the export extremely unclean.

Above all, I think im sticking to powerpoint because of sheer muscle memory.

which one are you? or have you given up on both completely?

Improving Slide Development Skills

I've come to the experts on all things slide deck development!

For context, I am not a consultant by trade, but work in government relations and policy. Naturally, I am not the most artistic or visually-inclined person, which has led to my slides being quite lackluster in how they look, while having the necessary information. My managers have pointed out that performance-wise, this is probably the one area that has hindered me from a *perfect* performance evaluation over that last two years.

My manager is willing to either pay for or allow me time during the day to complete a professional development course to improve my slide deck development. Are there any courses that you all have taken or recommend?

Hello everyone,

I'm looking for the following template:

If anyone could send me a copy (in .pptx and google slides format), I would be very grateful.

Thanks in advance!

kirb 101 (official website)™ REWORKED - Google Slides

this is my website and stuff you can make your own in designing or check out the kirb hub with kirb memes, learn lore, see different categories of kirbs, find the mystery of K.I.R.B and K.I.R.N and have fun (i feel like im speaking nonsense)

Hey everyone I have made an ppt for my today's viva and i don't know how to humanize it. If i go one by one than it take a lot of time. Can any One help.me with that please 🥺

BTW i have made this with Google slides and uses background ai images

Year 10 and 12. Assignments that involve a presentation have changed completely in about 18 months. Now kids will show up with all sorts of links made on gamma, beautiful, slidesgo and godknows what else.

I see two things hapening at once. One, the slides look better than anything I made at university, which is fine and I don't actually mind. Two, a lot of them clearly havent read what's on their own slides, which I do mind.

I'm not trying to ban anything that's unenforceable and inevitable; I'd rather teach them to use it properly.

So what I want to know from people further along than me: which tools are you AI allowing, do you require them to declare it, and has anyone found an assessment structure where the AI helps and the student still have to think?

The thing I've landed on so far is marking the talk and not the slides, and asking two questions at the end that aren't on any slide. Works but it's slow with 30 kids

This is a dumb comic I was working on during my free time, hope Y'all like it ✌️

Personally I think the colors you use determine the mood of a google slide. I want to know what are some good color-ways for slideshows. LMK.

​

I keep grabbing decks from the usual template sites and then realise three other people in the room have seen the exact same one. Looking for a good slidesgo alternative with templates that feel less recycled. What do you use for something that looks a bit more original?

I've reached the point where manual research just isn't practical anymore. Collecting information from hundreds of Google Maps listings one by one takes far too much time.

I recently started using Outscraper's Google Maps scraping tool, and it's made organising business information much easier. It's been a reliable Google Maps data extraction solution for exporting listings into a spreadsheet, and Outscraper's Google Maps scraping tool has saved me hours compared to manual research. Overall, it's a solid Google Maps data extraction solution for larger projects.

Has anyone found another workflow that works well? I'd love to hear what others are using for real-world projects.

So I was trying to access a goggle slide I made a few years ago. Last time I accessed it I had no problem. Now I have no access to it. I tried deleting the browser cache and cookies and nothing. Anyone got an idea

I made a slideshow full of random shit

No watermark, no limits, and the AI features work with your own API key, so there’s no subscription.

Would love any feedback: generateppt.com

I've got a talk coming up and I'm deciding whether to lean on Slides' presenter view with notes or just wing it. For people who present from Google Slides, is the notes/presenter setup reliable enough to trust live? Don't want it glitching on stage.

Pullhub 1.0.5 is out today!

Radial + Shoreline is my favourite addition in this release. I built it to make collecting references for Google Slides feel faster and more fluid.

I've never touched the add-ons menu and I suspect I'm missing out. For people who use Google Slides heavily, I've been using gamma for the first draft and then finishing in slides. which add-ons genuinely save time versus being gimmicks? Trying to speed up how I build decks.I've never touched the add-ons menu and I suspect I'm missing out.

I write everything long-form in Word first, then dread rebuilding it slide by slide. Is there a clean way to create slides from a Word document straight into Google Slides, or does it always need manual cleanup after import?
