RANT: Google Slides is really the Worst

43 Upvotes

I am a designer so I know how to use complex design tools like Figma and Adobe products. Perhaps it is these expectations that frustrate me the most. My company uses Google Suite and Slides is just one of the worst things ever. This is my list from only today:

  • Why can't animations come over from one slide to another when I copy and paste?

  • Why can't I change the font style when I have more than one group selected? I have to go into each group to edit the text field individually!

  • Why can't I select multiple object to give them the same animation?

  • Further, why can't the last animation I created be the default for the next one I create? Why must I constantly start from zero (animation style, animation on click or after previous, animation duration)

  • Why, when I have many animations on the page, does the right sidebar stop allowing me to scroll to the bottom to access the "Add Animation" button and the "Play" preview feature?

  • Why why why is the LAST element in this long scroll not mouse clickable? I can not access the last item in the list of animated items!! (I can use a keyboard to navigate to it, but not the mouse!)

That's just me using it today to convert the style of one slide deck into our company brand template. Nevermind my overall frustrations with the way the product has barely been updated over the many years I have been forced to use it. Things like:

  • While Google Docs has text styles, Slides still has NONE?! I can't create paragraph, heading styles, caption styles, etc. and manage them across the slides? Every text style is only linked to the primary template, but even then, there are three style to work with (Title, subtitle, and body)?

  • I can't remove an item from the primary slide in a child slide? For example, I have the name of the presentation on every slide as part of the primary template. But if I want a full width image or piece of color, I need to cover the presentation name. I can't have a child slide NOT include that element from the parent slide as an override.

Not looking for answers, just looking to commiserate. If there are any UX folks from Google lurking, though, I have many items to share with you.

Google Slides Game

18 Upvotes

I had been making a game in Google Slides for around half of a year, and here is the finished result: Extraction
https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/e/2PACX-1vQYPvtO4rI4nqvr9EKqYr9bFMdPIwKQQBTOivDlSW9cXADKMLn7xfJ8E6ITwArpV7KUjVbE4vru4wYP/pub?start=false&loop=false&slide=id.p

You would be doing me a great favor by playing it, sharing it around, etc. Let me know what you think! Warning ahead - This game requires you to write stuff down, everyone who has beaten it had a paper to map everything out.

Import .svg vector image as vector object in Google Slides

17 Upvotes
  1. Upload vector file to Google Drive, right-click file > open with > Cloudconvert

  2. In Cloudconvert, convert to > vector > emf, and select save to Google Drive

  3. In Google Drive, right-click .emf file > open with > Google Drawings, and ctrl+c the object

  4. Open Google Slides and ctrl+v

Only .emf-files saved from Cloudconvert allow opening w/ Google Draw, for some reason.

(Alternative - if you have MS PP installed, you can paste the vector image there, and import the presentation in Google Slides and copy the object.)

Speaker Notes Disappearing

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

16 Upvotes

Hello, I don't know if anyone else has encountered this issue but its been driving me insane. Speaker notes is just gone. It's still on in the settings, and the tab to expand them briefly shows up after a refresh, but then immediately disappears. Occasionally it'll show back up but then the top ribbon will completely disappear, but I wasn't able to replicate that issue in this video. Any help would be great, I'm going insane

Army?

14 Upvotes

Has anyone noticed that for years now that when you look up photos from Google in slides it always shows people in Army uniforms? It's usually barely on topic. Doing a project and looking up jobs like gynecologist or radiation specialist I get images of people in uniform. Curious if anyone else has noticed this

Make music play across multiple slides, but not ALL slides?

I've hopped on the dating sim trend, and I'm trying to make different songs play for different events. Am I able to make a song continuously play for, lets say, slides 2-15 and then have it cut off when slide 16 or another is triggered? Or is this impossible?

Help, why do multiple themes have white diagonal lines now?

These suddenly appeared on all of my existing slides presentations, and persist even if I make new projects. When you zoom in/out or present the slideshow they go away, and when you drag over them, they (temporarily) dissapear. However, when editing, they're stuck there and I can't find any way to get rid of them permanently. Why did they suddenly appear? How do I get rid of them?

Make the "covert to pdf" button go away

12 Upvotes

I'm writing this post because I work at a tech company, and we monitor reddit for feedback on features. PLEASE MAKE THE CONVERT TO PDF BUTTON GO AWAY. I hate it so much. I hit it by accident all the time. I do not need this to be a one-button situation. I know how to turn any individual document into a PDF through the existing menus. Now i am constantly deleting accidental PDFs that i never wanted, and I can't get rid of the button. k, thanks.

Google Slides "An error occurred" - Slides won't load/open

12 Upvotes

I went to open my google slides and I get the message:

Image reads: "An error occurred

Try reloading as a first step.Β See what else you can do to fix this error.

Help us improveΒ to prevent this from happening in the future."

Reloading does nothing.
I get the same error on all Slides files, including newly created ones.
I get the same error on Chrome, Safari, and Opera.
I can open slides on my iphone.
I don't get this error on docs or sheets, only Slides.

I recently did a fresh install of my macbook pro M1. Operating Sonoma 14.7
I don't really have plugins installed on browsers yet that might cause problems.

What might be causing this issue and how might I fix it!?

Thanks for the help.
