Display NOW Manager allows you to show content via Google Slides. This article will guide you on how you can get an embed link from Google Slides with signing into your Google Account on Display NOW and display your content on your screen.
You can also add Google Slides to Display NOW using an embed link. Simply follow these steps.
Alternative: Link Google Slides Without Signing In
If you do not want to sign in with Google, you can grab the embed publish link from Google Slides directly.
Step 1: First, sign in to Google Slides. You can start a new presentation or open an existing one.
Click File > Share > Publish to the web
- Select the "Embed" option
- Select how often you wish slides to remain on screen
- Check the two boxes below: start as soon as player loads and restart the slideshow after the last slide. This keeps the presentation moving in the background as other content is shown.
- Then copy the link from the start of the quotation to the end of the quotation. Just as highlighted in the picture below.
Head over to the Display NOW Manager and add the copied embed link to the "Google slides Embed URL."
In order to complete your URL, please add ( &rm=minimal ) at the end of it.
- Click on "Save"
Step 3: Add/Edit the Playlist
Head over the Playlist option and select your Playlist and click on Edit.
You can also create a new playlist if you'd like.
- Select add more under Media you would like to show on your screen.
- Make sure Google Slides 1 (or whatever you named it) is selected then click send to playlist.
- Select the number of seconds you want each slide to be played for in a loop. Please put down the total duration of your Google Slide Deck according to the number of seconds you have selected for each slide. i.e. there are 10 slides and you've selected each slide should be displayed for 15 seconds. Then the total number of seconds will be 150. You have to add 150 seconds for the total duration of your Google Slide Deck in the Playlist.
- Select the number of screens you want the Media to be displayed on.
- Click "Update" and you're all set. The Media then will be displayed on your screens.
