The layout of a slide can be described as the set of elements that form up the appearance of the slide and thus determine its visual identity. These elements can be text boxes, placeholders, graphic resources, logos, colors, fonts, backgrounds, etc. In short, it's the design of the slides.

You can apply any layout already featured in any of the slides of your presentation. If you need to create new slides in your presentation, please refer to this tutorial How to Add, Duplicate, Move, Delete or Hide Slides in Google Slides.

To apply layouts to your slides, do any of the following:

Select the slide whose layout you want to change. Open the Layout drop-down menu and choose the one that suits your needs.

Layout drop-down menu in Google Slides

Right-click the slide whose layout you want to change → Apply layout. Then select the desired layout.

Apply layout menu

Select the slide whose layout you want to change and click Slide → Apply layout. Then select the desired layout.

Layout options from Slide menu

Now you're ready to change the layout of any slide. Remember that you'll probably need to readjust the elements of the slide. We hope this tutorial is of any use to you. For further information on how to apply layouts to your slides, please refer to this article of Google Docs support page.

It's difficult for two or more people to work on a PowerPoint presentation simultaneously, as Office doesn't have the same collaboration features offered by Google Slides. One way around this problem is to combine PowerPoint presentations into a single file.

Merging two PowerPoints can be done by either importing the slides using the "Reuse Slides" option or by using the copy-and-paste method instead. These instructions are designed to work for the latest versions of Office, including Office 2016 and 2019, as well as Office 365 and Online. You may find the instructions vary for older versions of PowerPoint.

RELATED: What's the Latest Version of Microsoft Office?

Combining PowerPoint Files Using the Reuse Slides Option

The "best" method for merging PowerPoint files, or at least the method that PowerPoint officially supports, is to use the "Reuse Slides" option. This feature merges the content of one presentation file into another, matching the theme of the new presentation file in the process.

To do this, open your PowerPoint presentation file-this is the file you're looking to merge into. In the "Home" tab on the ribbon bar, select the "New Slide" button and then click the "Reuse Slides" option at the bottom of the drop-down menu that appears.

A menu will appear on the right. Click the "Browse" button to locate the PowerPoint presentation file that you want to merge into your open file.

Locate your second PowerPoint file and then click the "Open" button to insert it.

A list of slides from your second presentation will appear in the "Reuse Slides" menu on the right.

First, you'll need to decide on the formatting for your inserted slides. If you want to keep the format (including the theme) from the original presentation, make sure that the "Keep Source Formatting" checkbox is enabled at the bottom of the "Reuse Slides" menu. If you don't check this, your inserted slides will have the style of the open presentation applied to them.

To insert individual slides, right-click a slide and then select the "Insert Slide" option. Otherwise, click the "Insert All Slides" to copy all of the slides into your open PowerPoint presentation.

Your slide (or slides) will then be inserted into the open presentation, immediately underneath the currently selected slide. With your PowerPoint files combined, you can then save your merged file by clicking File > Save or Save As.

Copying and Pasting PowerPoint Slides

While the "Reuse Slides" method allows you to change the format of your slides before you insert them, you can also combine PowerPoint files by copying the slides from one open PowerPoint file and inserting them into another.

To do this, open a PowerPoint presentation and select the slides you want to copy from the slide selection menu on the left. From there, right-click on the selected slides and then press "Copy" to copy them to your clipboard.

Switch to the PowerPoint presentation you're looking to paste your slides into and then, in the slide selection menu on the left, right-click at the position you want to stick your slides.

To paste the slides and apply the theme of the open presentation file to them, click the "Use Destination Theme" paste option.

To keep the original theme and formatting, select the "Keep Source Formatting" paste option instead.

The slides you paste will then appear in your new presentation at the position you selected. You can then save the merged file by clicking File > Save or Save As.

Slideshows have a reputation for being somewhat uninspired. While they are a slightly more visual format than sending off an email, and can be a useful way to convey information, sometimes they're just a little bit lacking when it comes to holding people's attention.

For those looking to make their slides more interactive or interesting, embedding a YouTube video can do the trick (provided, of course, that it makes sense within the larger context of the presentation).

And luckily for those who use Google's suite of products, this is a feature that's built into Google Slides, making it an easy and quick way to spice up those boring slideshows.

Here's what you'll need to know to do it.

How to embed a YouTube Video in Google Slides

Before getting started, you'll want to grab a copy of the YouTube video URL you want to use.

And keep in mind that slideshows with multiple slides work a little differently - after completing step one, you'll have to select the proper slide in the left sidebar to ensure the video is uploaded onto the proper one.

With that in mind, here's how to embed a YouTube video onto your slide:

1. Go to slides.google.com and either create a new slideshow or go into the one where you want to embed the YouTube video.

2. In the top toolbar, click "Insert" and then choose "Video."

3. Paste the YouTube video URL (or if you don't have that, type the name) into the text box and click the search button.

4. Click on the correct YouTube video, making sure that the thumbnail and title match the one you want to include, and then click the blue "Select" button at the bottom of the pop-up.

A preview of the video will appear on the slide - you can then resize or reposition it as needed.

To resize it, click and drag one of the blue boxes along the edge of the video. In order to avoid warping the video by making it too wide or narrow, for example, stick to using the corner boxes when resizing.

To reposition it, click and drag the video to any part of the slide. You should see the cursor turn into a four-sided arrow when you hover over the video.

As you drag the video to its new position, red guide lines will appear on the slide to help you center it perfectly within the slide.

One sure and simple way to enhance a PowerPoint presentation is to add a video from YouTube. This website is chock-full of educational and entertaining videos that can add a dynamic element to your content. Whether you want to use your own footage or "borrow" it from somebody else's channel, here are the three ways to insert a YouTube video into a PowerPoint presentation.

1. Insert it as an online video

2. Use an embed code

3. Screen capture a YouTube video

4. How to choose the best method

1. Insert it as online video

Starting from version 2010, PowerPoint includes a built-in tool to insert a YouTube video onto a slide. Here are the steps on how to use it:

1. Go to YouTube and find the video that you would like to embed into your presentation.

2. Copy the link from the address bar.

3. Open your presentation and select the slide where you would like to place the video.

4. Go to the Insert tab and choose Video → Online Video.

5. Paste the link in the first address bar of the opened window. Using this field, you also can search for a video on YouTube directly. Click on the magnifying glass or press Enter on your keyboard to search.

6. Click on the thumbnail of the video and press Insert.

7. You can adjust the video size just like with any other slide object.

Pros

Cons

Requires viewers to have an Internet connection, the playback is not customizable. Cannot be done in PowerPoint 2007.

2. Use an embed code

A more advanced way to add a video from YouTube is to use the embed code. This technique allows you to customize video's attributes by using the YouTube API parameters.

To insert a video using an embed code, follow the steps below:

1. Go to YouTube and find the desired video. Click on Share → Embed underneath the video and copy the whole string.

2. Open your presentation and select the slide. Go to Insert and click Video → Online Video.

3. Insert the code into the From a Video Embed Code field. Then click on Insert or press Enter.

QuickTip: Before you place the video onto the slide, you can add some parameters into the code.

For example, add autoplay=1 to make the video start automatically.
Original code:
<iframe src="" width="300" height="150" frameborder="" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>
Altered code:
<iframe width="420" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/rWmYgqwDyt4?autoplay=1" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

This video will be played automatically after opening the slide it's placed on. The first parameter should be added into the code with "?". Each following parameter needs to be separated from the previous one with "&".

The following parameter will make the video start from 1:20 and stop at 1:40. Also, the Related Videos screen will not be shown after the video ends: ?start=80&end=100&rel=0
Original code:
<iframe width="420" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/rWmYgqwDyt4" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
Altered code:
<iframe width="420" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/rWmYgqwDyt4?start=80&end=100&rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

You can read more about the available YouTube API parameters here.

Pros

More control over the video playback and appearance with the help of parameters.

Cons

Takes more time than inserting with a link. Requires viewers to have an Internet connection.

3. Screen capture a YouTube video

While all the above tips require viewers to have an Internet connection, you can make your presentation internet independent by inserting a video from your computer.

To record your YouTube video, download Free Cam.

1. Copy the link within the quotes from the embed code on YouTube.

2. Open a blank tab in your Internet browser and paste the link into the address bar. To make the capturing process easier, you can hide most of the YouTube player elements from the video frame. To remove the video title and the player controls from the frame, add ?controls=0&showinfo=0 to the link. Next, press Enter:Altered link:
https://www.youtube.com/embed/rWmYgqwDyt4?controls=0&showinfo=0

3. Let's move to the screen capturing part. Run Free Cam using a shortcut on your desktop or find the application in the list of the installed programs. Click on New Recording.

4. Open your Internet browser and adjust the capturing frame to the size of the video.

5. Click on Settings (the gear icon) and make sure that Record system sounds is selected.To prohibit microphone recording, unselect the Microphone checkbox.

6. Click on the red button to start recording. The app will show a 3-second countdown before it starts capturing the video.

7. After you've captured the video, click on Done or press the stop key on your keyboard (Esc by default. You can change the assigned key in the Free Cam settings).

8. After a preview of the recording has been created, you can edit the video by clicking on Edit. You can read more about the iSpring Audio/Video Editor here.

9. After you've finished polishing the video, click on Save as Video.

Locate the folder where you would like to save the video file.

10. Now open your PowerPoint presentation and insert the file as a local video.

Pros

Video can be played in offline mode.

Cons

The quality of the captured video is worse than the original version, and requires more time compared to other techniques (time required depends on the duration of the video that you would like to capture).

How to choose the best method

Even if you haven't made it to the end of the instructions, take a look at this chart. It compares the pros and cons of all described methods, so that you can choose the best one according to your needs.

Conclusion

There're several ways to insert a YouTube video into a PowerPoint presentation. Each of them differs in terms of requested time, playback options, and other factors. The fastest solution is to go for the YouTube feature. If you want to customize the video playback, stick to Embed Code. Finally, if your task is capturing an online video and inserting it into an presentation that will be played offline, try recording it with Free Cam.
