Overview

Publish a Google Slides presentation on signage screens using its public embeddable link.

Before you begin

Publish the Google presentation to the web and copy its embed or published presentation URL. A private edit URL cannot play.

Good to know

  • Use a presentation ratio matching the target display.
  • Do not use a restricted Google Workspace link.
  • Test automatic slide timing in Preview.

Publishing

After saving the app, add its slide to a playlist and publish that playlist to the required screen. Use Preview to confirm the layout before sending it to a live display.

Step by Step Guide
Step 1: Publish the presentation

In Google Slides, choose File > Share > Publish to web and publish the deck.

Step 2: Copy the correct URL

Copy the published or embeddable presentation URL, not the normal editor URL.

Step 3: Create the app

Open Google Slides in SignMitra, add a clear name and paste the URL.

Step 4: Set playback options

Choose landscape or portrait and any available timing or restart options.

Step 5: Preview

Confirm every slide loads, advances and fits inside the preview.

Step 6: Save and publish

Save the app and publish its slide to the required screens.
