Presenter by WorshipTools supports importing Google Slides, which can be useful for announcement and/or sermon slides. And when the slideset is updated in Google Slides, changes can easily be synced back into Presenter.
Connecting Google Slides to Presenter
To add a Google Slides presentation to Presenter, first click on Slides from the command bar, then click on + Add Slides, and then select Import Google Slides from the dropdown.
A pop-up window will display within Presenter as well as launch a Google sign-in session in your default browser.
Once signed into your Google account, Google will then confirm your approval to allow WorshipTools access to see, edit, create and delete only the specific Google Drive files you use with this app. Click Continue when ready.
After clicking Continue, confirm the browser pop-up to launch Presenter (similar to the Presenter login process) by clicking Open.
Once the connection is established, you'll be directed back to Presenter to choose a Google Slides file you want to import. Select the specific file from Google Drive directory by clicking on the desired presentation and then clicking Select.
Next, you will see the files begin to load through the import window. This pop-up will disappear when all slides have been imported, where you can then view the Google Slides presentation in your Slides library.
Please note that once this connection is made with Presenter, you may continue to import Google Slides that are saved in Google Drive without needing to complete the full sign-in process again.
Auto Advancing (Scrolling) Slides
Google Slides is a great option for setting auto-advancing slides. Auto Advance tells Presenter to scroll through a set of slides without manual intervention and is most commonly used for pre-/post-service announcement loops.
To set the Auto Advance feature on your Google Slides, first add your slide presentation to a new service item. Then, in the Auto Advance options, select the length of time you want each slide to stay on the screen, as well as instruct Presenter on what to do when the presentation completes a lap. You can either select Do nothing, which will just leave the presentation on the last slide of the Google Slides set, or you can select Go back to first slide, which creates an ongoing loop until someone manually stops the loop by clicking on another service item.
