How Do you Embed a TikTok in Google Slides Seamlessly? 3 Quick Ways

Updated August 19, 2024

To make engaging presentations with dynamic content, users can use videos in their slides. These videos enhance the audience’s interest and help the presenter deliver their point more easily. One such platform that allows you to embed videos in the presentation is Google Slides.

But, it is not always necessary that you can find useful videos on YouTube only. With the increasing popularity of TikTok, you can search for good content there as well. But how do you embed a TikTok video in Google Slides? Let’s discuss it!

Can You Directly Embed TikTok Videos in Google Slides?

Google Slides does allow you to embed videos directly into the slides, but only from specific sites like YouTube. You can only add a video directly into the slides by searching on YouTube or adding a video from Google Drive.

Therefore, it is not possible to embed a TikTok video directly in Google Slides. If you want to use a TikTok video in your slides, you will either have to add the URL or upload the video by saving it in your Google Drive first.

Method 1: How to Embed TikTok Video in Google Slides by Placing the Video Link

The easiest method to embed a TikTok video into Google Slides is by using the link to that video. Here’s what you need to do:

First, go to the TikTok app and click the share button (it is an arrow-shaped option that appears at the side of the video)

You will find an option to copy the URL of the video there
Tap on this option to copy the link. Even if you are using TikTok on a web browser, these steps are the same
Go to the slide where you want to add the video and click “Insert.”
Then, add a text box or any shape to the slide
Once either of them is added, left-click on it and click the paste option. You can also use the Ctrl+V shortcut key to paste the URL

If you are using a mobile phone, tap on the text box or shape, and a paste option will appear on the screen

Please remember that the slides can be edited and played in an offline mode. But, you require an active internet connection to play the video during the presentation.

Method 2: How to Embed TikTok Videos Posted on YouTube via URL in Google Slides

TikTok videos found on YouTube can also be added to Google Slides by using their URL. Follow these simple steps:

Find the TikTok video on YouTube that you want to integrate into the Google Slides
Click on that video, and its link will appear in the address bar
Select the link and tap on the CTRL+C button from your keyboard. You can also left-click on the link and select the copy option from there

NOTE: If you are using a mobile phone, select the video link, and a copy option will appear on its own

Then go to the “Insert” button of the Google Slides and click on the “Video” tab from the top menu

Select “YouTube” and paste the copied URL into the search bar

The video will appear on the screen. Click on it to add it to the slides
Then go to the format options to change the video settings according to your preferences

Method 3: How to Embed TikTok in Google in Slides from Google Drive

Embedding TikTok videos in Google Slides from Google Drive is the most reliable option for making a flawless presentation. It allows users to play videos directly on the slides rather than open them through any link.

Step 1: Download the TikTok Video

To upload a TikTok video from the app, it must first be downloaded. You can download TikTok videos on your device either directly from the app or using third-party sites. The detailed steps to download the videos in both ways will be discussed in the next two sections.

Step 2: Upload the Downloaded Video to Your Google Drive

Go to your Google Drive and tap on the “+ New” option

Click on the “File Upload” button and find the file from your device that you want to upload
Browse the video and click on the “Open” option appearing on the screen
Or, you can simply drag and drop the video from your PC drive to Google Drive in the dedicated folder

Step 3: Insert Video in Google Slides

Open Google Slides and go to the slide that you want to add the video in
Click on the “Insert option” and then tap on “Video”
Two options will appear on the screen. Click on “Google Drive”
Go to “My Drive” and select the video that you want to insert in the presentation
Tap on “Insert”, and the video will appear in the slides

To move the video to any side with a single click on the video
You can also get access to some additional video settings either by clicking on the video or by finding the “format” option in the toolbar
In format options, you can play the video manually, or automatically. You can also decide the starting and ending time of that video

If you do not want any audio, click on the “mute video” option. Moreover, the size and position can also be adjusted

How to Download TikTok Videos from the App for Google Slides

To download a video directly from TikTok:

There is another option. For this, you will have to download the TikTok video first on your device and then upload it to Google Drive. From the Drive, it can be added to Google Slides, which allows the video to be directly played from the slides.
