What is Google Slides?
Slides is presentation creation software that is part of Google's suite of apps. You can quickly create great-looking presentations using several built-in themes, and customize them to your liking by adjusting font, colors, backgrounds, and more.
How Can it Help You?
As with many of the other available Google apps, Slides can be created from your computer or mobile device. While presenting, you can keep your speaker notes on a second screen to make sure you mention every point. Additionally, you can have Slides auto-generate captions that will display on-screen as you speak.
Examples of Use

- Create a presentation with images and video
