What you read in this article

Google slides have made it easy to create and present your work. With seamless integration across all platforms, you can get everything in one place – from videos or documents on Google Drive; to images sourced online using Picasa Printsto presentations created with Slides’ built-in voice recognition features! But there’s more than meets the eye here: this article will help address some common bugs that keep users compulsively refreshing their screens while they wait for something else to happen (and don’t worry–it always does). 

Google’s services are usually quite reliable, so if you’re experiencing issues with one of them try reloading the page a few times. Most likely this will be related to network delays because Google has taken care in making sure their websites load fast for all users across different devices which makes it hard not to have any interruptions during browsing sessions!

When you can’t fix an issue with reboots, it’s time to get more serious. These specific problems need specific solutions so if your Google slide isn’t working after following the initial fixes I’ve provided in this article then take another look at some of them until one works for you!

Why is my Google Slides Not Loading?

Google slides is a great tool for presenting and learning, but when it doesn’t load sometimes you just need to know how to fix the problem.

  • Have you ever had a file that just wouldn’t load? It’s frustrating when everything seems to be going fine, but then something goes wrong with the sync process. This can happen if your internet connection isn’t strong enough – even on Google slides! So make sure it doesn’t sound like this by checking first for any obvious reasons before blaming yourself or others in order to prevent these types of headaches from happening again
  • you should make sure your presentation doesn’t exceed 100 MB in size. The limit for Google Slides files is smaller than this, but it’s still a good idea to stay under if possible!
  • Google slides is the only free, interactive Whiteboard app that has maximum compatibility with all popular browsers. But you need to have an up-to-date version of your browser for it to work properly!

Another thing you should remember is to always enable cookies, as Google Slides may fail to load if they’re turned off. The same goes for JavaScript – make sure it’s on in your browser!

The older versions of browsers can cause glitches when running through these slides which would result in them becoming corrupt or not loading at all; so we recommend clearing out any pesky cache files first (these will be placed back once fresh ones have been stored).

  • If the steps above fail to resolve your issue, you might have an antivirus or firewall conflict with Google Drive. When this happens there is no way for files on disk to access through their respective programs because they’re blocked by both of them at once! Try editing out any conflicting proxies from within those setups before trying again – but if all else fails go ahead without one (or both) until things improve slightly here…

Why Can’t I Edit my Google Slides?

Why can’t I find the edit option on Google slides? There are two reasons – either they sent you an unsolicited file, or it’s because of your settings. 

If someone emails me a link to their presentation that says “Public” in one corner and has editing capabilities for others but not themselves then this means there might be some kind of sharing going around (not sure what). If however everything looks kosher with entering data only through given fields before uploading/ importing onto own drive etc., then chances are eggs will never boil over here 🙂

  • Google Slides will not let you share a project with someone else if they don’t have the same account on another device. This is because when creating new projects in Google’s doc-sharing app, it creates them only for “only me” and keeps this setting even after logging out of an individual profile.”
  • If the person who sent you their presentation does not want to grant editing access, there’s nothing we can do about that. It is more common when someone sends a Google Slide instead of an Hybride or PDF file because those formats don’t have any original owner-specific features built in so they must be opened with another app before being able to edit them – which means if somebody gave us one as booty call…

“Google Slides unable to Save” Error!

Google slides saves your progress automatically every time you go online. That’s why it doesn’t need to be saved manually! The save happens in real-time, meaning that when anything is edited even a dot will update itself and there’ll always be an updated timestamp showing how long ago the last change was made if its connection has ‘t been interrupted yet. Unfortunately, this issue has been known by Google Slides’ developers but no solution seems available at present moment.

To ensure that your work is safe, it’s best to copy and paste the content from one slide onto a new blank one when editing. You only need to do this if you’re getting a “saving…?” prompt every time you make changes in between saves – but be careful not to let others edit while yours are still there! Your fellow group members will show up as users who have touched or saved within 30 seconds of each other on the Version History tab under the File menu due south at the top right corner – find them quickly so no one makes mistakes together 🙂

“Error Rendering Shape” in Google Slides

You might end up with this error message if you try adding a gif or animated image file while editing your Google slides. It usually happens when dragging down from above to add media into the slide, but it can also occur for larger files that are inserted after already-added content has been placed onto individual pages within an otherwise complete document (i e: not creating new documents).

When that happens, you receive an error rendering shape. To fix this you need to resize the image and then add it as a slide through the insert option by dragging & dropping it onto your desired location on-screen rather than simply adding in between two other slides like before which should prevent any more pop-ups from occurring regarding the said problem (if present). If still shows the same message repeat the process until satisfied!

Some people have reported that they are unable to view the image in Google Docs when it’s offline. This can be worked around by opening a file on Firefox or turning off your extension if you use one of those two programs for editing documents online. It seems like there will eventually come an update from them, but until then make sure all files are resized first before uploading again!

Unsupported Image Type Error in Google Slides

Google slides support all the major image file types which are JPEG, PNG, and GIF. If you try to upload a file that does not have these extensions then it will likely give an error about being unable because of its type before letting your audience view what’s inside!

The easy way to fix this is by using an image converter. You can find these online and they are usually notified about supported formats so you don’t need to worry about getting it wrong! If that doesn’t work try changing the extension on your phone or computer (you’ll know what I’m talking about if its something like . JPG)

A more difficult method would be going into Google Drive directly instead of importing from another app.
