Sharing Google Slides with StreamYard

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:

  1. 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
  2. Open StreamYard, enter/create your broadcast studio, click Present at the bottom, then click Share Screen.
