How can I create an animation on Google Slides?

Creating an animation on Google Slides can be done in a few simple steps. Here’s how:

  1. Open your Google Slides presentation and navigate to the slide where you want to add the animation.
  2. Select the object or text box you’d like to animate. You can do this by simply clicking on it.
  3. Click on the “Insert” tab on the top menu, then select “Animation”.
  4. You’ll see an animation panel on the right-hand side. Here, you can choose the type of animation you want from the drop-down menu under “Add animation”. Options include “Fly in”, “Fade in”, “Zoom in”, and more.
  5. Next, select when you want the animation to start. Options include “On click”, “After previous”, and “With previous”.
  6. Set the speed or duration of the animation using the slider under “Duration”.
  7. Click on “Play” to preview the animation. If you’re happy with it, just click anywhere outside the animation panel to close it.

Remember, animations should be used sparingly and with a purpose, as they can distract your audience if overused. Done right, they can add a dynamic element to your presentations and make your content more engaging.
