How to Make a Video Play Automatically in Google Slides

Below, we explain how to play video automatically in Google Slides:

1. Select the Video

Click on the video on your slide to select it. You should see a blue border around the video once selected.

2. Open the Format Options for Your Video

With the video selected, look at the top toolbar above your slide. Click on the “Format options“.

3. Set Your Video to Play Automatically

Under the “Video playback” section, you will see a dropdown menu labeled “Play (on click)” by default. Open this dropdown menu and change the setting to “Play (automatically)”. This tells Google Slides to start playing the video as soon as the slide is shown during your presentation.
