To refer to a webpage, switch slides efficiently, and open other files during a presentation, you can link URLs, slides, and other files. If you’re using Google Slides, you can insert links to text and objects to make them clickable when editing your Google Slides Templates.
How to Add a Link to Google Slides
To add a link to Google Slides, select the object (text, image, shape, etc.) and select Insert > Link. Alternatively, use the CTRL+K hotkey.
How to Link a URL in Google Slides
Select the object to a link, go to Insert > Link, or use CTRL+K. Now, enter the URL and click Apply to link it.
How to Link a Slide to Another Slide
Using the same method as above, you can link a slide to an object in Google Slides. To do this, select Insert > Link, or use CTRL+K, and select the slide from the list to link to the object.
How to Link to a Google Drive File
To link to a Google Drive file, go to Insert > Link, or use CTRL+K and search for the file name. Select the file from the list and click Apply.
How to Link a Picture in Google Slides
Linking a picture in Google Slides is as same as linking to text or other objects. Select the image you want to link, go to Insert > Link, or use CTRL+K and enter the URL or select a slide or Google Drive file to link to the image. Once the image is linked, you can click on it during your slideshow to open the link.
Linking slides in Google Slides can help you make them interactive and easy to switch between. This is especially useful when you need to quickly switch between various subtopics. Similarly, if you need to open a webpage or file from Google Drive, linking to it can be a quick method to open it during your presentation rather than going back to the browser to enter a link or searching for a file.
