Using Google Slides with Display NOW for Experts "embed link"

Display NOW Manager lets you showcase content using Google Slides. This article will walk you through how to generate an embed link from Google Slides without needing to sign in to your Google account in Display NOW and use it to display your presentation on your screen.

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 on File > Share > Publish to the web

  • Select the "Embed" option
  • Select your Slide Size. 
  • Select how long you want each slide to stay on the screen. In this example, 10 seconds has been chosen for each slide.

  • 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.  


Step 2: Navigate to Display NOW Manager > Media App Store > Google Slides

  • Name your media.
  • 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.This hides the controls in your Google Slides, allowing your slideshow to play seamlessly.

  • Once done, please select your playlist and add the total number of seconds that content will be played for. Adding up the number of slides and how many seconds each slide will be played for like, 10 slides + each slide for 15 seconds = Total of 150 seconds.
