YouTube Timers in Google Slides
November 16, 2016
Google Slides User?
If you use Google Slides with students and/or staff, keeping your presentation on track is key. Timers can be beneficial for pacing to keep the flow of the presentation consistent. An easy solution for "embedding" a timer would be to insert a YouTube timer. Here's how:
Step 1
Search YouTube
Perform a Google Search for a timer that fits the time period desired. For example, I searched for a two minute timer.
Step 2
Copy Link
Copy the URL of the YouTube timer you wish to use. Note: If unsure where that URL is located, copy the web address at the top of the browser.
Step 3
Insert Video
Back inside the Google Slides Presentation:
- Click Insert
- Select Video
- Select the URL option
- Paste the URL
- Choose Select button
