Google Slides

Once you have the URL, you will need to create a new Web Screen and then add that to the channel being shown on your TV.

1 ) Create Google Slides

If you are not familiar with Google slides check out googles Get started with Slides.

2 ) Get the Publish URL 

You are able to publish a Google Slide to be added to your channel.  Follow the instructions from Publish Slides on how to generate the public URL. 

Be sure to use the following settings

• Get the Embed URL not the link URL. When on the embed tab you will need to copy the url from the SRC tag (see image below)
• Make sure "Auto play is on"
• Choose how long each slide should show for.  The message time will then be the calculated by the slide duration * the number of slides.

3 ) Create Web Screen

• From the left hand menu click "Announcements" then click "Messages"
• Click the "Add Message" button at the top right of the page
• Click the box that says "Web"
• Enter a Title for your Web Screen
• Add the publish URL from step ( 2 )
• Set the duration from step ( 2 )
• Add the Web Screen to any channels you would like to see it on

Note: if you have not created any channels check out TV Channels help article.

• Click 'Create Web Screen'

Now your new Google Slides screen is all ready to view on your TV
