Adding a voiceover to your Google Slides presentation is ideal if you plan to share it with others but not speak to it in person. This is helpful for training, sales, education, marketing, global business, and accessible slideshows. Unfortunately, Google Slides doesn’t currently offer a voice recording option.
Luckily, with the help of Plus AI, you can create a voiceover with nothing more than your speaker notes. You’ll then have a finished video of your presentation with narration that you can download or share.

Prepare for the voiceover in Google Slides
It takes only two actions to get your slideshow ready for the voiceover in Google Slides. Simply install the extension and add your speaker notes.

- Head to your presentation in Google Slides and open the Notes section using View > Show speaker notes.
