for the people who want to remove the bar at the bottom when in full screen, add "&rm=minimal" to the end of your url.

Thank you! Can you show us how to do this with Google Calendar presented on a screen using a Fire Stick?

[humorousme]

Thank you for this. I’m eager to try it out when I get to work.

[stephanepaul]

Thanks! I've been looking for something like this for a very long time :-)

[去和平]

Thank you for this tutorial! Amazing channel. Sending love from NYC

hi, can you make a video where you can display live date and time for a bulletin board in corporate?

[DavidRicardoCalderonFarias]

Amazing guide, what a powerfull slides application... it is exactly what I needed. Thanks a lot :)

[crimsonretriever]

This is incredible! Brilliant and concise video that's saved me a lot of time and money. One question - if we removed the slide display time inside the html file, presumably setting up transition times inside Google Slides would over ride that? Would be good to have absolute control from the Google end and set potentially individual slide display times where necessary (ie a more tet heavy slide would last longer than a simple image slide). Thanks again! 🙂

This looks really interesting, but is there any way to run this on something small and cheap such as an Amazon Firestick TV or a Raspberry Pi 4?

[QC-Solutions]

If there are video in Google slide, any option to hide the play button and loading screen that are visible for a short amount of time at the beginning of the video?

[cool.politics]

Thank you for sharing. Is it possible to run the presentation in full screen automatically with timer for turning on and off daily.

[barbcoffey]

I have tried this but when I try to open the HTML file on the chromebox attached to the display, it is pointing to the C: of the desktop computer I edited it on and opens it as the code in a Google Doc rather than the html webpage. Is there a step I am missing?

[theyoutubeapprentice]

great tutorial! Is there any way to make this private so it's not published public on the web?

[BrentVersendaal]

Thank you for this. I've been looking for a simple solution like this for a couple years. Do you know if it's possible to get youtube videos to auto play on the displays? I've added a couple to my slides and selected "Play(automatically)" but it's not working.

[bradgamm]

Does this work on Mac? I have saved a .html and when opened it just directs to a browser with the same code as my text document.

[anthonyogas]

Would it be possible to upload this to a usb drive to a TV that is connected to the internet?

[rogerccaqp]

hello are u using Commercial displays or TV for
Digital Signage Display ?

[VTPros]

what i really want to do is be able to edit the slides from a different pc, is there a way to do this?

[omarkhshi]

can I use Macbook I don't see not pad

[pipkato]

I think I may have found a way to run Google Slides on a Firestick using Kodi. But just realised that the setup assumes a Windows machine with Notepad. Anyone know how to convert the instructions to work with MacOS Ventura? I tried using TextEdit on the Mac but there's no option to 'Share/Publish to the web.
