In our opinion, the addition of GIFs and stickers in Google Slides can provide several benefits to users when creating presentations. They can add an element of fun and creativity to presentations. They allow presenters to convey ideas, emotions, and concepts in a more engaging and visually appealing way.
Also, GIFs and stickers can help keep the audience engaged and interested in the presentation. This can be particularly useful in preventing boredom during long or data-heavy presentations.
Recently, Google announced a new ‘live pointers’ feature for Google Slides to boost collaboration. It allows multiple people to see each other’s mouse pointers in real-time. With this feature, co-creators can easily point out specific text or visual elements within a Slide in order to highlight important information and content.
