Google Workspace Updates Blog:
We are introducing a seamless way to record presentations in Google Slides using Google Vids directly from the Slides interface. Moving forward, you will see a new Record option in the right-hand menu of Slides. Selecting this option guides you through a streamlined recording workflow and outputs an immediately shareable link.
This new integration provides advanced creation capabilities—including transcript-based editing and voiceover generation—helping you turn simple slide decks into polished, professional video assets in seconds.
Note: For organizations currently using the existing Slides recording experience, here is what you need to know about the transition:
- Users with access to the existing Slides recording experience will have access to both the legacy experience and the new Vids recording experience.
- The legacy Slides recording option will move to the View menu (View > Slides Recording).
