Inserting images

You can enhance your presentation by inserting an image. Just open a webpage in another browser window and drag the image you'd like to use directly into your presentation.

Images on the internet may be protected under copyright laws. Before you use an image in your presentation, please make sure that you have proper rights to use that image. Note that there are many sites that offer images under a Creative Commons license, which you may be able to use.

Some images can't be dragged into your browser window; however, you can insert images that you've saved to your local computer. Here's how:

  1. Click the Insert image button in your presentation toolbar.

    Presentation toolbar

  2. Click Choose File and select the file of your choice.
  3. Click OK.

The image will appear in your presentation. To move the image, and adjust it to fit your presentation, simply click and drag it to where you want it on the slide.

Inserting videos

To add videos to your presentation, just click Insert > Video above the toolbar and search for a video. Select the checkbox next to the thumbnail of the video you want to add, and click Insert Video.

The video will appear in your presentation. To move the video and adjust it to fit your presentation, click and drag it to where you want it to appear. You can also minimize and maximize a video to the full size of a slide by clicking the button on the bottom-right of each video.

Click this button to watch a video with detailed instructions.

Changes to videos can take eight hours or more to show up in the YouTube search index. So, if you've recently uploaded, changed, or removed your video, you'll need to wait to see these changes in YouTube.
