Admin Help: Adding Slideshows using Google Slides

To add a Google Slide show to your site, we will use the "Google Slides" shared link from Google Drive and paste it into the URL field in the Files Block.

Please refer to the Files Block article if you are not familiar with how it works. Please see video below for a quick refresher on sharing files from Google Drive.


If you edit the Google Slide in Google, your edits will update on the site, just like any other file or folder in the Files Block.

Of course, you can also store the file in OneDrive and use PowerPoint. Just grab the public share link and paste it into the URL field in the Files Block.

Steps for setting up auto play using the HTML block:
  • Open the Google Slide in edit mode from Google Drive. 
  • Click file and publish to the web. 
  • Then click the embed option and check the box 'play slide show upon page load'. 
  • Click publish below, and copy all the HTML and paste it into an HTML block on your website. 
  • Reload the page after adding the block to see it in action.
