Like Microsoft, you only need a Google account to use the program. While Google Slides doesn&#8217;t offer as many features for effects and visual tweaks, you can create diagrams and edit the slide master. This allows you to easily create business presentations as well.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br><strong>Collaborative work is easy with Google Slides. <\/strong>With just one click, you can share presentations via email or a link. You decide whether others can see, comment or edit your presentation. Just like in PowerPoint 365, it&#8217;s possible to work on the same presentation at the same time. No matter where you are, you can create your presentations online, share and access them anywhere \u2013 completely free of charge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Google Slides lets you <strong>open and edit PowerPoint presentations<\/strong>. You can add Google Slides add-ons that include additional features, such as special charts, templates and much more. But be aware<strong>: these add-ons are created by third parties and some of them require payment.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>To use of Google Slides in larger teams, <strong>Google offers a business option and G Suite Essentials<\/strong>. These don&#8217;t modify the program itself nor unlock any additional features. What they do offer are increased security features and team collaboration options. Google Business customers are given wide-ranging features for sharing. You decide who can download presentations, print them and see comments. Google is currently offering the business service G Suite as a free trial. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Click <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/slides\/about\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a><\/strong> to go to Google Slides.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-spacer.kt-block-spacer-_25567c-56 .kt-block-spacer{height:20px;}.wp-block-kadence-spacer.kt-block-spacer-_25567c-56 .kt-divider{border-top-width:1px;height:1px;border-top-color:#eee;width:100%;border-top-style:solid;}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-spacer aligncenter kt-block-spacer-_25567c-56\"><div class=\"kt-block-spacer kt-block-spacer-halign-center\"><hr class=\"kt-divider\"\/><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Microsoft Sway<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"308\" src=\"https:\/\/www.presentationload.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Microsoft-Sway-1024x308.jpg\" alt=\"PowerPoint Online\" class=\"wp-image-10123\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.presentationload.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Microsoft-Sway-1024x308.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.presentationload.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Microsoft-Sway-450x135.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.presentationload.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Microsoft-Sway-768x231.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.presentationload.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Microsoft-Sway-1536x463.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.presentationload.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Microsoft-Sway.jpg 1893w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"302\" src=\"https:\/\/www.presentationload.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Microsoft-Sway-2-1024x302.jpg\" alt=\"PowerPoint Online\" class=\"wp-image-10124\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.presentationload.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Microsoft-Sway-2-1024x302.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.presentationload.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Microsoft-Sway-2-450x133.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.presentationload.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Microsoft-Sway-2-768x226.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.presentationload.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Microsoft-Sway-2-1536x453.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.presentationload.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Microsoft-Sway-2.jpg 1710w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-spacer.kt-block-spacer-_3d0dd8-9c .kt-block-spacer{height:20px;}.wp-block-kadence-spacer.kt-block-spacer-_3d0dd8-9c .kt-divider{border-top-width:1px;height:1px;border-top-color:#eee;width:100%;border-top-style:solid;}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-spacer aligncenter kt-block-spacer-_3d0dd8-9c\"><div class=\"kt-block-spacer kt-block-spacer-halign-center\"><hr class=\"kt-divider\"\/><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Microsoft Sway is <strong>a web application for creating professional presentations<\/strong>.
