How to Add a YouTube Playlist to Google Slides

Adding a YouTube playlist to your Google Slides presentation can enhance engagement by providing a continuous flow of relevant videos.

While Google Slides doesn’t allow direct playlist embedding, there are workarounds to include a playlist link or individual videos.

This guide will walk you through the process step by step.

Step-by-Step Guide to Adding a YouTube Playlist to Google Slides

Step 1: Open Google Slides

Visit slides.google.com and open your presentation. Select the slide where you want to add the YouTube playlist.

Step 2: Copy the YouTube Playlist Link

Go to YouTube and find the playlist you want to add. Click the Share button below the playlist title.

Copy the playlist URL provided.

Step 3: Add a Link to the Playlist in Google Slides

Go back to Google Slides. Select a text box, shape, or image where you want the playlist link to appear.

Click Insert > Link, or press Ctrl + K (Cmd + K on Mac). Paste the YouTube playlist URL into the link box and click Apply.

Step 4: Insert Individual Videos from the Playlist (Optional)

If you prefer embedding specific videos instead of a playlist link:

Click Insert > Video in Google Slides. Choose YouTube and search for a video from the playlist.

Select the video and click Insert. Resize and position the video as needed.

Repeat the steps for other videos from the playlist.

Step 5: Test the Playlist Link or Embedded Videos

Click on Present mode in Google Slides.

Click on the linked text or image to ensure it redirects to the YouTube playlist.

If you embedded individual videos, play them to verify they work correctly.
