Whether you want to allow your audience a few seconds to answer a quiz question, or whether you want to let your audience know the time left for the break to end, having a ticking timer on Google Slides is a great way to do that!
But, Google Slides doesn’t provide the option to add a timer by default. So, how do you insert a timer in Google Slides?
To insert a timer in Google Slides, you can add a video that contains a countdown timer. Alternatively, you can also use the “Slide Timer” extension. Using the extension allows cusotmization of text formatting, and a few additional features which are not available when using a video!
This article will provide you with more insights on adding a timer in Google Slides. We will be discussing a few different methods. You will get the step-by-step process along with the images so you too can add it to your presentation!
So, let’s get started!
1. How to Insert a Timer in Google Slides?
I’ve captured all the steps in a video format as well. If you wish to learn by watching a video instead of reading this article, you can do so by clicking on the play button on the video below –
If you prefer learning through reading, you can continue to do so by going through the steps in the rest of the article!
When you need to give your audience time to complete an action such as think of an answer, writing a solution, responding to a question, or perhaps even ensuring that people come back on time after a break, it is good to have a timer displayed on the screen.
This will make sure that everyone is aware of the time left to finish the task required!
Although Google Slides doesn’t offer a direct option to add a timer in the presentation, there are multiple ways to insert a timer in Google Slides.
In this article, we shall take a look at two different methods.
1a. Method 1 – Inserting a Video
The first method includes inserting a video that has a timer. You can use any video for this purpose. The easiest way to find such a video is through YouTube.
One thing to keep in mind is that when you add a YouTube video to the presentation, you will need to make sure that your computer is connected to the internet for the video to work when you are giving the presentation.
For safety purposes, you can perhaps download the video and upload it to the presentation to make sure it works. However, for the purpose of this example, I’ll show you how to add a timer by inserting a video in Google Slides .
Let’s take a look at the steps one-by-one:
Step-1: Search for a Video with a Timer on YouTube
![google slides presentation timer](https://artofpresentations.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/M1S1-Inserting-a-Timer-in-Google-Slides-using-a-Video.jpg)
There are a ton of different video options available on YouTube for a timer video. Simply type in the duration of the timer that you want in the search bar.
For the sake of this example, I’ve gone with a 3 minuter timer.
From the options that appear in the search, go with single color background (ideally black). You’ll get to know why, in a minute!
Step-2: Copy the Video URL
![google slides presentation timer](https://artofpresentations.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/M1S2-Inserting-a-Timer-in-Google-Slides-using-a-Video.jpg)
Once you have chosen a video, open it by clicking on it.
Then, click on the address bar. Select the URL and copy it using the “ Ctrl+C ” options. You can also right-click on it and click on “ Copy “.
Step-3: Click on the Option to Insert a Video
![google slides presentation timer](https://artofpresentations.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/M1S3-Inserting-a-Timer-in-Google-Slides-using-a-Video.jpg)
Now, go back to your Google Slides presentation. Open the slide where you want to insert the timer.
Then, click on the “Insert” tab in the menu bar and select the “Video” option from the “Insert” menu. This will prompt an “Insert video” dialog box.
Step-4: Insert the Video in your Presentation
![google slides presentation timer](https://artofpresentations.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/M1S4-Inserting-a-Timer-in-Google-Slides-using-a-Video.jpg)
The next step is to insert the video. Click on the “ Search ” tab first. Here, in the search bar, paste the URL (link) that we copied in step 2 and hit enter.
You can also search for a term instead of pasting the link. So, for instance, instead of going on YouTube to find a video, you can also use the search bar here to do the same. But, I usually get much better results faster when I search it on YouTube and paste the link here.
Once you have the video appear below, click on it to select it. Then, click on “ Select ” to insert it on your slide.
You can also upload a video at this point by clicking on the “ Google Drive ” option. That option will allow you to add a video that you may have either downloaded or perhaps received from your colleague.
Step-5: Adjust the Playback Settings
![google slides presentation timer](https://artofpresentations.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/M1S5-Inserting-a-Timer-in-Google-Slides-using-a-Video.jpg)
Now, the next step is to adjust the playback settings for the video.
When you insert the video on the slide, the “ Format ” panel on the right should automatically appear. If it doesn’t, simply right-click on the video, and click on the “Format” option.
Here, you can adjust the starting and ending point of the video along with tweaks to a few additional settings.
Step-6: Adjust the Video and Slide Background
![google slides presentation timer](https://artofpresentations.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/M1S6-Inserting-a-Timer-in-Google-Slides-using-a-Video.jpg)
Now, the last thing that I recommend you do is first, make the video as big as possible such that it fits the slide on the top and the bottom.
This will display the video on the complete slide during the slideshow mode.
If there is still some blank space left on the slide, then you can choose to change the slide background to match the background of the video (just the way I’ve done it in the image above).
This is where choosing a video with a monotone background (as mentioned in step 1) comes in handy!
If you are unable to find the color for your slide back in the default options provided that match with the background of the video, you can use the eyedropper tool for color matching in Google Slides .
![google slides presentation timer](https://artofpresentations.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/M1S7-Inserting-a-Timer-in-Google-Slides-using-a-Video.jpg)
Once you’ve made the changes, simply enter the presentation in the “ Slideshow ” mode and watch the timer tick!
Method 2 – Using the Slides Timer Extension
If you don’t want to add a video to your presentation or if you want more customization to the way the text looks for the timers, and make a few changes to it, you can use the “ Slides Timer ” extension.
The “Slides Timer” extension has been designed by ClayCodes ; a third-party open-source creator.
The Slides Timer extension comes as a Google Chrome browser extension rather than an “Add-on” item.
Through this add-on, all you need to do is type in a simple text-based code and it will convert the code into a function. We shall take a look at the
To add the extension, you have to first click here to find the Slides Timer extension in the Chrome Web Store.
Then follow the 3 quick steps.
Step-1: Click on “Add to Chrome”
![google slides presentation timer](https://artofpresentations.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/M2S1-Inserting-a-Timer-in-Google-Slides-using-an-Extension.jpg)
The first step is to click on the “Add to Chrome” button located on the right side of the screen. This will prompt a dialog box.
Step-2: Click on the “Add Extension” button
In the dialog box, click on the “Add Extension” button to allow access to the extension. You will now see another dialog box notifying that the Slide Timer extension has been added.
Step-3: Click on the “Slides Timer” extension
![google slides presentation timer](https://artofpresentations.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/M2S2-Inserting-a-Timer-in-Google-Slides-using-an-Extension-1200x674.png)
Now all you have to do is open the Google Slides presentation. Then click on the “Extensions” icon which looks like a puzzle piece beside the browser “Search bar” . In the “Extensions” dialog box, click on the “Slides Timer” extension to access a tutorial.
How to Use the Slides Timer Extension?
The Slides Timer extension has various features that you can use. You can create a timer, stopwatch, clock, etc.
![google slides presentation timer](https://artofpresentations.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/M2S3-Inserting-a-Timer-in-Google-Slides-using-an-Extension.jpg)
To create a countdown timer, you have to first click on the “Text box” icon in the toolbar located right under the menu bar.
In the text box, type in “<<“preferred time”->>” . For example, for a five-minute countdown, type in “<<5:00->>” in the text box.
Next, click on the “Slideshow” or “Present” option and the text will be automatically converted to a countdown timer.
![google slides presentation timer](https://artofpresentations.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/M2S4-Inserting-a-Timer-in-Google-Slides-using-an-Extension.jpg)
To create a count-up timer or a stopwatch, type in “<<“preferred time”+>>” in a text box in the slide where you want to add the timer.
For example, if you want the stopwatch to start at zero seconds, type in “<<00:00+>>” . It will be automatically turned into a stopwatch on the “Present” screen.
![google slides presentation timer](https://artofpresentations.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/M2S6-Inserting-a-Timer-in-Google-Slides-using-an-Extension.jpg)
In the example above, I’ve started my stopwatch from “5:00”. You can see the stopwatch counting up in the slideshow mode in the image above.
You can also display the current time in the local time zone using the Slides Timer extension. To do so, insert a text box in the preferred slide and type in “<<time>>” . In the “Present” screen, this will show the time in the AM/PM format.
To add the current date in your Google Slides presentation slide, insert a text box and type in “<<date>>” . In the “Present” screen, this will turn into “mm/dd/yyyy” format date. This will always show the current date when you present without any manual adjustment.
Move to Next Slide
With Slides Timer, you can also add a timer that automatically moves to the next slide when time is up. For example, you can create a countdown trigger that moves to the next slide after 2 minutes. All you have to do is insert a text box and type in “<<02:00-+>>” .
2. How to Time Your Slides to Autoplay in Google Slides?
Google Slides does provide you with an option to time the slides such that you can set it on “Autoplay” and let the slides automatically keep changing!
This is a great option especially when you are at an event, and you just want put the presentation on the screen, set it, and forget it!
This topic actually deserves an entire article! Thus, I’ve written a separate post to cover the nuances of this topic in great detail in a step-by-step manner. Check out my other article on this topic here !

How To Insert a Timer into Google Slides

During a Google Slide presentation, you should time how long you stay on one slide or give your audience the chance to engage in discussions or answer any questions. You may also need to use a screen countdown during activities or breaks.
![google slides presentation timer How To Insert a Timer into Google Slides](https://i0.wp.com/www.alphr.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/Google-Slides-Insert-Timer.png?resize=738%2C320&ssl=1)
Adding a timer to your Google Slides helps you do this seamlessly. In this article, we’ll tell you everything you need to know.
Add a Video Timer to Your Google Slides Presentation
Here are detailed steps for inserting a timer into a Google Slides presentation and how to format the settings.
Select Your Slide
You might want to insert a timer into a slide with content. Alternatively, you might want to create a separate timer slide if you plan on doing a timed activity in your Google Slides presentation. If you need one timer for several slides, insert the video in each slide and adjust the settings individually.
Go to the Video Selection Page
Follow these steps to navigate to your video selection page in Google Slides:
![google slides presentation timer google slides presentation timer](https://i0.wp.com/www.alphr.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/Google-Slides-Insert-Timer-1.png?resize=690%2C507&ssl=1)
Your video selection page with three tabs will open, and you can select a video timer to insert on your page.
Choose a Video Timer
In the video selection page, choose a video timer for your Google Slides presentation by selecting from these options:
- Look for a video on YouTube
![google slides presentation timer google slides presentation timer](https://i0.wp.com/www.alphr.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/Google-Slides-Insert-Timer-4.png?resize=690%2C507&ssl=1)
When looking for a video, search for the timer length you’d like to use, for example, “five-minute timer.“ Note that the video hyperlinks to a third-party account when you use the URL or search option. If the uploader deletes the video, you won’t be able to use the timer in a Google Slide presentation.
Using a video timer you’ve uploaded to your Google Drive is a more reliable way of having one for your Google Slides presentation.
Reposition and Resize Your Video
To move your video to a different position or resize it in your Google Slide, click on it and use one of these options:
![google slides presentation timer google slides presentation timer](https://i0.wp.com/www.alphr.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/Google-Slides-Insert-Timer-7.png?resize=690%2C507&ssl=1)
Edit the Video’s Playback Options
You can set your video in Google Slides to start playing as soon as you switch to a slide, or you can edit when a video plays. Here’s what you need to do:
![google slides presentation timer google slides presentation timer](https://i0.wp.com/www.alphr.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/Google-Slides-Insert-Timer-9.png?resize=690%2C507&ssl=1)
In the video format options, you can also adjust more playback settings, like muting the audio in the video. if you can’t source a timer with specific requirements, you can make your video timer start and end at a particular time. For example, if you need a 50-second timer or a 10-second timer.
Add a Google Slides Timer Using the Slides Timer Extension
If you’re not keen on adding a video timer to your Google Slides presentation, or if you’d like a more customizable timer, you can try the Slides Timer Google Chrome browser extension. This add-on allows you to input a text-based code which it converts to a function.
![google slides presentation timer google slides presentation timer](https://i0.wp.com/www.alphr.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/Google-Slides-Insert-Timer-14.png?resize=690%2C507&ssl=1)
- Go to “Slides Timer.”
Uses of the Slides Timer Extension
You can use several useful features with the Slides Timer in your Google Slides presentations.
Here are steps for creating a countdown timer with the Slides Timer:
- Go to the “Text box” icon in the toolbar under the menu.
- In the text box, input “<<“specified time”->>”. For instance, if you want a 3-minute countdown, you’d type “<<3:00->>” in the text box.
- Select “Slideshow” or “Present,” and your text is converted automatically into a countdown timer.
To add a stopwatch or count-up timer using the Slides Timer, input “<<“specified time”+>> in a text box where you like to insert the timer.
Here’s an example: If you need a stopwatch to begin at zero seconds, input “<<00:00+>>.” This automatically turns it into a stopwatch on the “Present” screen.
The Slides Timer Chrome extension can display the current time in a local time zone. To display this, add a text box to your Google Slide, then input “<<time>>.” This shows the time in AM/PM format on the “Present” screen.
To insert the date in a Google Slides presentation slide, add a text box, then input “<<date>>.” This formats the date into “mm/dd/yy” in the “Present” screen. This continuously displays the current date if you present it with no manual adjustment.
Move to the Next Slide
You can also use the Slides Timer to move onto another slide automatically when the time is up. For instance, if you’d like to move to another slide after five minutes, you can add a text box and input “<<05:00-+>>.”
Benefits of Using a Timer in Google Slides
When you’ve mastered how to use timers in your Google Slides presentations, you’ll experience some of these great benefits.
Pace Your Presentation
A video timer in your Google Slides presentation can help you track the time you take to discuss each slide. If your presentation time is limited during a meeting, allocating the time you’d like to take on each slide and using a timer helps you pace yourself. Additionally, you can include everything you need to discuss within your time frame.
There’s also the option to set your timer to automatically advance by moving to the next slide after a specified time so you remain on schedule.
Respecting Other People’s Time
Using a timer in Google Slides ensures your presentation doesn’t infringe on another speaker’s time. Timers also show your audience how much time they have to ask questions or prepare for a transition to the next speaker.
Provides Flexibility
In Google Slides, you can stop a timer early if you’re ready to move to the next slide and have the flexibility to adjust your timer. For example, if you’ve provided time for questions but didn’t get many requests. Or if you’re asked an interesting question that might take longer to answer, or have thought of another idea you’d like to incorporate into your presentation.
Using Visual Aids for Activities
If you’ve incorporated activities in your Google Slides presentation, timers help your audience remain focused as they can see how much time they have to complete an activity.
Timing Breaks
Timers in Google Slides presentations let your audience know how long breaks are, which is especially useful for teachers giving long online lessons.
Organize Your Presentation With Ease
Using a timer in your Google Slides presentations helps track your time on each slide and the time given for activities that your audience can see. Inserting a timer using the steps outlined above includes using the Video and Insert options, and the Slides Timer Google Chrome browser extension. Once you’ve inserted your video in Google Slides, you can resize and position it and edit its playback settings.

A countdown timer can be used before a presentation starts or during a break to inform the audience regarding the time remaining in the presentation. It can also help alert the audience to take their seats when the session is about to begin. If you have been wondering how to insert a timer into Google Slides templates , follow the simple instructions below.
How to Insert a Timer in Google Slides
Unlike PowerPoint templates that timer add-ins can customize, you can add a timer to Google Slides by adding a timer video. To do this, go to Insert -> Video .
![google slides presentation timer How to insert a video in Google Slides](https://slidemodel.com/wp-content/uploads/01-insert-video-timer-google-slides.png)
Add a timer video on YouTube or upload it via Google Drive. You can search for it via YouTube if you donât have a video available. The countdown timer can include a specific duration (e.g., 5 minutes or 10 seconds).
![google slides presentation timer Searching for timer video YouTube](https://slidemodel.com/wp-content/uploads/02-browse-for-video-timer-google-slides.png)
Select the required video and click Insert to add it to your slide.
![google slides presentation timer Inserting timer video in Google Slides](https://slidemodel.com/wp-content/uploads/03-how-to-add-a-timer-to-google-slides.png)
Once the timer video is added, it can be customized. You can use drag and drop to place it on a specific location on the slide or resize it.

One question our incredible Google Slides experts are asked all the time is âhow do I add a timer to Google Slides?â. And, as we love to delight clients and fellow presentation enthusiasts alike, weâve come up with an answer!
Now, if youâre not one of the people whoâve asked us this question, you might be wondering why youâd need a timer in Google Slides. Surely, itâs just a case of clicking through each slide as you talk, right? Not so! Our curious questioners have a good point. What do you do if you want to stay on a slide for a set period of time? Perhaps to let your audience engage in a discussion or answer a question? Or what if you want to set a countdown on your screen so your audience know how long their coffee break is?
Sounds great, where do I find the Google Slides timer function?
Erm, we hate to break it to you, but this is a question with no easy answer. Essentially, there are two options. Option A is the in-built autoplay function in Present mode, which allows you to set your deck to switch from slide to slide at set intervals, with no visible timer on the screen. If you want a visible timer on your slides, the only current option is to embed a YouTube video of a timer directly onto your slide. The option you choose will depend on what kind of timer youâre after. Weâll look at the autoplay function first, and then tackle the slightly more complex art of embedding a video.
Using the Autoplay function in Google Slides
Step 1: Enter Present mode
Open up Google Slides and put your chosen deck into Present mode. To do this, either press Ctrl+5 or click on the Slideshow button in the top right-hand corner of your screen.
(If youâve been presenting without using this function, youâre missing out on a golden opportunity to make yourself look more professional. Find out how to use Present mode effectively in Google Slides .)
![google slides presentation timer Google Slides screenshot with the Slideshow button highlighted.](https://www.brightcarbon.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/Blogpost-Screencaps-Timers_Page_01.jpg)
Step 2: Locate the Autoplay function
Once youâre in Present mode, hover over the three dots in the bottom left of your screen and youâll see a box that says Open the options menu .
![google slides presentation timer Google Slides screenshot of a slide in Slideshow mode. the options menu button is highlighted.](https://www.brightcarbon.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/Blogpost-Screencaps-Timers_Page_02.jpg)
Click on the dots and a menu will appear.
![google slides presentation timer Google Slides screenshot with a slide in slideshow mode. The options menu is visible and the 'Auto-play' option is highlighted.](https://www.brightcarbon.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/Blogpost-Screencaps-Timers_Page_03.jpg)
Step 3: Choose your timings
You can then choose how frequently youâd like your slides to move on, ranging from once a second to once a minute.
![google slides presentation timer The autoplay dropdown menu is visible. There are several options including: Every 2 seconds, every 3 seconds, every 5 seconds, every 10 seconds - up to Every minute.](https://www.brightcarbon.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/Blogpost-Screencaps-Timers_Page_04.jpg)
You can also choose to play them on a loop, which is handy if you want to play something like a photo presentation in the background during an event.
![google slides presentation timer The same screenshot as the previous image. Beneath the 'Every X seconds' options is an option to Loop the slides. This is highlighted.](https://www.brightcarbon.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/Blogpost-Screencaps-Timers_Page_05.jpg)
Step 4: Play your presentation
Once youâve chosen the timing settings you want, click Play at the top of the pop-up menu.
![google slides presentation timer The Play option on the Auto-play menu is highlighted](https://www.brightcarbon.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/Blogpost-Screencaps-Timers_Page_06.jpg)
And thatâs it! Your presentation will play automatically following the timings that youâve specified.
Embedding a timer on screen in Google Slides
If you want to add a visible countdown timer to your slide to give your audience a set period of time for a break or a group activity, the easiest way to do this (at the time of writing) is to head over to YouTube and search for a timer video (yes, these are a thing!).
Step 1: Search for a timer video on Youtube
You can do this without leaving Google Slides. To start, go to Insert in the toolbar and then select Video .
![google slides presentation timer Screenshot of Google Slides showing the Insert Video pop up. The search tab is selected and the YouTube Search bar is on the screen. In the search bar is the text "2 minute timer"](https://www.brightcarbon.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/Blogpost-Screencaps-Timers_Page_08.jpg)
A pop-up will appear that allows you to search YouTube. Type the length of timer you want into the search bar and click the blue Search button. A range of options will pop up. You can choose from different backgrounds and even different music options, but for the purposes of this tutorial Iâm going to choose a two-minute timer with a plain black background.
![google slides presentation timer A screenshot showing the search results for the previous search term in the Google Slides Insert Video pop up.](https://www.brightcarbon.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/Blogpost-Screencaps-Timers_Page_09.jpg)
Step 2: Insert the video into your presentation
Click on the video you want to insert and then click Select . The timer will appear on your slide, along with a Format options box to the right of the screen (weâll cover this in a minute).
![google slides presentation timer Google Slides screenshot showing a slide in the process of being designed. A timer video is on the slide.](https://www.brightcarbon.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/Blogpost-Screencaps-Timers_Page_10.jpg)
You can resize the timer to suit your needs; here, Iâve resized it to fit the slide.
![google slides presentation timer Google Slides screenshot showing the nodes used to resize the timer video](https://www.brightcarbon.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/Blogpost-Screencaps-Timers_Page_11.jpg)
You can use the Format options bar to choose how you want to start the timer – either on a click, automatically, or manually by pressing play.
![google slides presentation timer Google Slides screenshot with the format options side panel option. The play options are highlighted. The options are: Play (on click), Play (automatically), Play (manual).](https://www.brightcarbon.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/Blogpost-Screencaps-Timers_Page_12.jpg)
You can also adjust the exact start and end times of your video.
![google slides presentation timer The same screenshot as above but the Start time and end time boxes are highlighted showing that these are editable.](https://www.brightcarbon.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/Blogpost-Screencaps-Timers_Page_13.jpg)
And finally, if your ideal timer is cursed with irritating background music, you can choose Mute audio (but remember that, if you do mute the video, you won’t be able to hear any audio signals when the timer hits zero).
![google slides presentation timer Same screenshot as before but with the Mute Audio check box highlighted](https://www.brightcarbon.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/Blogpost-Screencaps-Timers_Page_14.jpg)
Voila! One countdown timer to keep your audience on track.
The verdict
Autoplay in Google Slides offers a really straightforward way to pace your presentation if you donât want to rely on manual clicks to move between slides. However, itâs not visible, so your audience wonât know when the slide is going to advance. Embedding a video timer offers you an easy way to let your audience know whatâs happening and when. Itâs worth playing around with both functions to see which best meets your needs. The drawback here is that you have to rely on the options available on YouTube, so itâs less customizable. Whichever option you go for, it’s important to rehearse your entire slideshow beforehand to make sure that all the timings fit together as planned. Everyone gets pre-presentation nerves; but practice makes perfect!

How to add a timer to google slides.
Pace your presentation better by placing a timer in Google Slides
When you plan to deliver a time-sensitive pitch, add a timer to your slides to pace the presentation accordingly. A visual time indicator also gives your audience a better idea of the time remaining and improves your pitch impact. Although Google Slides doesn't have a native countdown timer or clock feature in the web or Android app, there are a few hacks you can use to get the job done.
Whether you want to deliver a presentation to investors or in classrooms or online workshops, a countdown timer can help keep your audience engaged. You can track and finish a presentation with the help of a live clock and save time for conducting a live Q&A session with the audience.
Add a timer using YouTube videos in Google Slides
Google Slides doesn't have an in-built timer function. However, you can use the option to insert a video, which you can use to add a live timer from YouTube. Let's check it in action.
- Navigate to Google Slides on the web and open a presentation you want to edit.
- Check your added video in a slide. You can resize it and place it in a relevant location.
When you type Countdown video in the YouTube search bar, you may notice dozens of videos in suggestions. If you want to insert a specific video, go to YouTube on the web and find your video.
You can copy the video URL from the address bar at the top and insert it into Google Slides. Now, move to a presentation slide, go to Insert > Video , enter the video URL, and add the countdown clip.
What's the difference between Google Slides templates and themes?
Video formatting options in google slides.
There are several video formatting options that you can explore in Google Slides. When you insert a video, click on the thumbnail and expand the Video playback menu.
- Autoplay: You can start video playback by clicking automatically or manually.
- Duration: If a video starts a timer with a specific duration, tweak it from the Start at and End at menus.
If you want to be specific about the video thumbnail's width and height, tweak the size from the Size and rotation menu.
Use a third-party extension to add a timer to Google Slides
If you don't want to deal with YouTube videos, use a third-party extension like Slides Timer to add a timer to Google Slides. It's available via the Chrome Web Store and remains compatible with all Chromium browsers like Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome, Vivaldi, Opera, and Brave. Here's what you'll do.
- Visit the Chrome Web Store and search for Slides Timer .
- Move to Google Slides and select a slide in a presentation.
- Other options include <<time>> to display the current time in AM/PM format and <<date>> to display the date in word format.
If the live timer doesn't work, refresh the tab and click Slideshow again. Press the d key to pause and the e key to reset timers.
Slides Timers extension is free to download and use.

Want to learn how to time Google Slides for 20 seconds?
If you’re following the PechaKucha format, your presentation should have 20 slides, each lasting 20 seconds, resulting in a total presentation time of 6 minutes and 40 seconds.
However, Google Slides doesn’t have a direct option for timing slides for 20 seconds.
Instead, it offers options for timing every second, every 2, every 3, every 5, every 10, every 15, every 30, and every minute.
While some people duplicate each slide and time them for 10 seconds each, this may not be ideal for presenting.
Luckily, there’s a cool workaround you can follow.
This article will teach you how to time Google Slides for 20 seconds.

How to Time Google Slides for 20 Seconds?
Step 1: go to file > share > publish to web.
![How to Time Google Slides for 20 Seconds Step-1 How to Time Google Slides for 20 Seconds](https://appsthatdeliver.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/How-to-Time-Google-Slides-for-20-Seconds-Step-1.png)
To begin, open the slide and click on the “File” option in the top menu.
Next, hover your cursor over the “Share” option and choose “Publish to web” from the drop-down menu.
Step 2: Choose “every 10 seconds”
![How to Time Google Slides for 20 Seconds Step-2 How to Time Google Slides for 20 Seconds](https://appsthatdeliver.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/How-to-Time-Google-Slides-for-20-Seconds-Step-2.png)
Now, you will see the “Publish to web” pop-up window.
Make sure to select the “Link” tab.
Under the title “Auto-advance slides:”, you will find a drop-down menu with the default selection of “every 3 seconds”.
Click on this menu and choose “every 10 seconds”.
Unfortunately, there is no option for “every 20 seconds” in the drop-down menu, so we will select “every 10 seconds” and adjust the timing in step 6.
Step 3: Enable the “Start slideshow as soon as the player loads” option
![How to Time Google Slides for 20 Seconds Step-3 How to Time Google Slides for 20 Seconds](https://appsthatdeliver.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/How-to-Time-Google-Slides-for-20-Seconds-Step-3.png)
Below the drop-down menu, you will find the “Start slideshow as soon as the player loads” checkbox.
Check this box to ensure the slideshow starts immediately when you open the slide.
Now, let’s move on to the next step.
Step 4: Click “Publish” and then “OK”
![How to Time Google Slides for 20 Seconds Step-4.1 How to Time Google Slides for 20 Seconds](https://appsthatdeliver.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/How-to-Time-Google-Slides-for-20-Seconds-Step-4.1.png)
Now, click on the yellow “Publish” button.
A browser pop-up message will appear with the text “docs.google.com says, ‘Are you sure you want to publish this selection?'”
![How to Time Google Slides for 20 Seconds Step-4.2 How to Time Google Slides for 20 Seconds](https://appsthatdeliver.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/How-to-Time-Google-Slides-for-20-Seconds-Step-4.2.png)

In the “Publish to web” pop-up, you will find the presentation link that you can share with anyone or open in your browser to start the presentation.
Copy this link because we need to make a small edit to time the slides for 20 seconds instead of 10 seconds.
Step 6: Replace “10000” in the link with “20000”
![How to Time Google Slides for 20 Seconds Step-6 How to Time Google Slides for 20 Seconds](https://appsthatdeliver.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/How-to-Time-Google-Slides-for-20-Seconds-Step-6.png)
Once you have copied the link, paste it into the address bar of a new browser tab or use a text editor app like Notepad.
Take a look at the last part of the link, where you will find the number “10000” at the end.
Replace this number with “20000” and then copy the modified link.
Step 7: Confirm that each slide remains visible for 20 seconds
Lastly, paste the copied link into a new tab and press enter.
The slide will begin playing instantly and transition every 20 seconds.
It’s essential to thoroughly test everything before the final presentation.
If you wish to remove the browser address bar and view the slide on full screen, press the “F11” key on your keyboard.
Press “F11” again to exit full-screen mode.
Demo: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/e/2PACX-1vQ3HZ2EPC-Q1kOYkvkrfID46tdOQLrvaxhJSECFzPceN6U4taK9C8SW6sKmTR9ZQBpYnVfqj4kU6EA_/pub?start=true&loop=false&delayms=20000
Yes, you can set Google Slides to change every 20 seconds. To do this, replace the number at the end of the publishing link with “20000”.
To set a 20 second timer on Google Slides, go to “Publish to web” and select “every 10 seconds”. Then, replace “10000” in the link with “20000”.
In conclusion, Google Slides does not have an option to time slides for 20 seconds. However, you can achieve this by making a minor edit.
Hereâs how to time Google Slides for 20 seconds:
- Go to File > Share > Publish to web.
- Choose “Link” and select “every 10 seconds” from the “Auto-advance slides” drop-down menu.
- Enable the “Start slideshow as soon as the player loads” option.
- Click “Publish” and then “OK”.
- Copy the link.
- Replace “10000” in the link with “20000”.

With these steps, you can ensure that your presentation runs smoothly and adheres to the PechaKucha format.

How to Loop a PowerPoint Presentation?
![google slides presentation timer How to Loop a PowerPoint Presentation?](https://cdn.slidesai.io/cdn-cgi/image/width=1920/https://cms-media.slidesai.io/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/13110502/how-to-loop-a-powerpoint.jpg)
Table of Contents
PowerPoint presentations are a go-to for clear and informative content delivery. But what if you want your presentation to run on repeat, like at a kiosk or digital sign? The good news is, that PowerPoint has a built-in feature to loop your slideshow, ensuring your message stays on display without interruption.Â
This blog post will guide you through the simple steps to set your presentation on a loop, keeping your audience engaged and informed around the clock.
What is PowerPoint Looping?
Normally, in a PowerPoint presentation, you have to manually move from one slide to the next by pressing keys on the keyboard or clicking buttons on a mouse or presentation remote.
However, when you enable looping in PowerPoint, the presentation progresses automatically from one slide to the next without requiring manual input. This eliminates the need for the presenter to interact with the computer or mouse during the presentation.
With PowerPoint looping, you can also set each slide to display automatically for a specified duration, determined by you. Once the preset time elapses, the next slide seamlessly appears. Additionally, upon reaching the final slide, the slideshow automatically starts over from the beginning.
Why Do You Need to Loop Your Slideshow in PowerPoint?Â
There are several reasons why you might want to loop your slideshow in PowerPoint:
- Unattended Presentations: Looping is ideal for situations where the presentation runs without a presenter. This could be at a kiosk, trade show booth, or in a waiting room. Looping ensures the information is continuously displayed for viewers to come and go as they please.
- Automated Playback: Looping allows for a hands-off presentation experience. Once started, the presentation progresses automatically, freeing you up to greet attendees or answer questions.
- Self-Paced Learning: Looping can be useful for self-paced learning environments. Viewers can revisit slides or take breaks without needing someone to control the flow.
- Continuous Engagement: Looping keeps the audience engaged with a constant stream of information. This can be beneficial for displaying menus, directions, or other ongoing updates.

Step 3: Â Under âShow options,â find the magic checkbox that says âLoop continuously until âEscâ.â Check that box to make your presentation run on repeat.

Step 5: Â Once youâre happy with the settings, click âOKâ to save them.
Step 6: Time to loop! Go back to the âSlide Showâ tab and click âFrom Beginningâ (or âFrom Startâ). Your presentation will start playing and keep going until you press the âEscâ key.
How To Loop a PowerPoint SlideShow from Selected Slides?
PowerPoint lets you loop a customized selection of slides, creating engaging presentations that run unattended. This eliminates the need for manual slide changes while maintaining audience interest. Hereâs how to loop specific slides:
Step 1:Â Â Select Slides: In the Slide Sorter view, hold âShiftâ and click the first and last slides you want to loop.
Step 2:  Enable Looping: Go to the âSlide Showâ tab and click âSet Up Show.â Check the box for âLoop continuously until âEsc'â and choose âShow slidesâ from the dropdown menu. Select âFromâ and enter the slide number where your loop should begin.
Step 3:Â Â Create Custom Show (Optional): For easier access, name your looped sequence as a âCustom Showâ within the âSet Up Showâ dialog.
Step 4:  Start Looping: Navigate back to the âSlide Showâ tab and choose âCustom Slide Showâ to launch your looped presentation.
Closing Thoughts
Looping your PowerPoint presentation is a simple yet powerful technique that unlocks a variety of use cases. By following these steps, you can ensure your message runs continuously, keeping your audience informed and engaged, whether itâs at a kiosk, trade show booth, waiting room, or any other scenario that demands unattended playback.Â

In presentations, it’s not just about what you say, it’s also about how you show it. Imagine you’re drawing a picture. You want it to be just the right size so everyone can see it clearly, right? Well, in presentations, it’s the same! Making things bigger or smaller helps people understand your message better.
Changing the template size in Google Slides is not a daunting task. It’s a common struggle, but the fix is simple! This blog will walk you through changing slide dimensions in Google Slides, no pro experience is required.
Understanding Slide Size and Aspect Ratio
Before we dive into resizing elements, let’s talk about the overall canvas – your Google Slide itself. There are two main ways to adjust the size of your presentation “frame”:
Aspect Ratio: This refers to the width compared to the height of your slide. Common options include:
Standard (4:3): This is the traditional aspect ratio, ideal for presentations projected onto overhead screens.
Widescreen (16:9): The go-to choice for modern presentations displayed on widescreen monitors or televisions.
Widescreen (16:10): Similar to 16:9, but slightly taller, often used for high-definition presentations.
Custom: This allows you to define a specific size in inches, centimeters, pixels, or points. Changing the Slide Size
To adjust your slide size, follow these simple steps:
- Go to the File menu.
- Click on Page Setup.
- Choose your desired aspect ratio from the dropdown menu.
- If you need a specific size not listed, select Custom and enter the width and height values.
- Click Apply.
Resizing Images and Text Boxes
Now that you’ve got the canvas sized perfectly, let’s talk about resizing individual elements within your slides:
Images and Shapes: Click on the image or shape you want to resize. Drag the small squares at the corners to make it larger or smaller. Hold down the Shift key while dragging to maintain the aspect ratio.
Text Boxes: Similar to images, click and drag the corners of the text box to resize it. You can also adjust the font size within the text box to control how much text fits comfortably.
Remember: When resizing elements, pay attention to their placement and balance within the slide for a visually appealing presentation.
Nailed it! Mastering slide size in Google Slides ensures your message shines through. Now, go forth and use these tricks to craft presentations that truly stand out!
