StreamYard now has built-in support for sharing slides! See here for more information.
If you'd still like to screen-share Google Slides, here's how:
- Open up your Google Slides presentation in a new tab or browser window. A new browser window would be easiest, as you can have StreamYard and Google Slides side by side
- Open StreamYard, enter/create your broadcast studio, click Present at the bottom, then click Share Screen.
- From the list of windows, you want to choose “Presentation name - Google Slides”, under Chrome Tab.
- In Google Slides, click Slideshow in the top right.
