One of the useful features of Google Slides is the ability to add speaker notes. This allows you to write comments or reminders that will appear when the presentation is being shown, helping you remember what you want to say and how best to phrase your points.
Helpful as that is, there are moments when a printed copy of your slides with the notes attached is what you really need. The good news is that it only takes a moment to set up. A paper version is also handy if a screen or projector lets you down mid-talk. Here are the steps you need to follow:
Step 1
Open the Google Slides presentation that you want to print out with speaker notes.
Step 2
Go to the slide that you want to print, and then click the “File” menu at the top of the screen. Then scroll down to the bottom of the popup menu and select “Print settings and preview.”
Step 3
On the new page, press on “1 slide without notes” to print the slides as they appear on screen, or choose “1 slide with notes” to have speaker notes included.
Step 4
After doing that, click the “Print” button at the top taskbar of the screen. Your slides will be printed out with speaker notes included, ready for your next big presentation!
You can also download the slide as a PDF by selecting the “Download as PDF” option from the taskbar.
Conclusion
That’s all you need to do to print out Google Slides with speaker notes included. The whole thing takes only a minute or two, and it pays off when you are getting ready for a talk. Just remember to select the “1 slide with notes” option before printing, and you’ll be all set!
