Google Slides pro tips for lightning talks

  1. Automatic slide advance
    • File > Publish to the web... > Auto-advance slides > Every 30 seconds
    • uncheck the box Start slideshow as soon as the player loads
    • edit the generated URL to replace 30000 with 20000 (for 20 seconds)
  2. Laser pointer without menu popup
    • go to full screen
    • start the presentation on the intro slide by clicking the play button
    • complete the next steps within 20 seconds before the slide advances
    • move mouse down to make menu appear, right-click on it, choose Inspect
    • select and delete the following element
      <div class="punch-viewer-nav-v2 punch-viewer-nav-floating \
      punch-viewer-nav-fade-out">
      
    • press L to toggle the laser pointer
    • to get the menu bar back, do Ctrl-R to refresh the web page (note: this will stop the auto-advance)
  3. Extra slides
    • in film strip, right-click on slide, choose Skip slide
    • they won't show up as the slides auto-advance
    • but they can be seen if you navigate to them manually
