Using Google Slides doesn’t necessarily require an internet connection. If you use Chrome or Edge as your browser, you can use Slides offline. This is particularly handy if you want to make changes to a Slides deck on the go, or if you are due to present to an audience in a location without an internet connection. If you’re running low on storage, you can prioritise saving individual files by going to File and clicking Make available offline or by right clicking on the file in Drive and selecting it from there.
Setting up Google Slides for offline use: Firstly, make saudi mobile code sure you’re connected to the internet and using Chrome or Edge as your browser. If you haven’t already done so, you’ll need to download the Google Docs Offline Chrome extension, which can be found here. In Google Drive, click the icon shaped like a gear in the top right, and select Settings. Under General, make sure that the Offline checkbox is ticked and click DONE. You may see a notification box appear in the bottom left of your screen that says Setting up offline.
Next, navigate to the Slides homepage and click the main menu button (represented by an icon with three horizontal lines) in the top left hand corner. Go to Settings and make sure that the Offline button is toggled on (to the right). You can now disconnect from the internet and begin working offline!
Google Drive should still load as normal via Chrome browser. You can open up a presentation as normal and begin making changes. Next to the title of your presentation you should see a small lightning bolt icon. This indicates that you are now working offline. You can make changes and even present your deck as you normally would when working online. When you’re done making changes, close your presentation as normal.
