Create Video From Google Slides

TL;DR; Paste a Google Slides URL at lupo.ai/projects/googleslides. Make sure the link is accessible and the speaker notes are filled in. Lupo will email you the finished video in a few minutes.

If your team lives in Google Workspace, there's no reason to export your deck to PowerPoint every time you make a change. This tool reads directly from a Google Slides URL.

When to use this tool

Use Create Video From Google Slides when:

  • Your deck is in Google Slides, not PowerPoint.
  • Your team collaborates on the deck in real time and you want Lupo to always pick up the latest version.
  • You don't want to maintain two copies of the same content.

Everything else about the experience is the same as the PowerPoint tool: you wait, you get an email, you click a link to watch the finished video.

Step 1 — Fill in your speaker notes

In Google Slides, make sure each slide has speaker notes. The notes area is at the bottom of the editor — you might need to open View → Show speaker notes if it's hidden.

The same tips apply as for PowerPoint:

  • Write the way you'd speak it.
  • One idea per slide.
  • Aim for 30–90 seconds of narration per slide.

Step 2 — Make the deck accessible

Lupo reads the deck over the web, so the link needs to be readable without a Google login. Click Share in Google Slides and set the access to either:

  • Anyone with the link — Viewer, or
  • Explicitly shared with the Lupo service account your team uses.

If Lupo can't open the deck, you'll get an error message: "Please enter a valid public Google Slides URL."

Step 3 — Open the tool and paste the URL

Go to lupo.ai/projects/googleslides. The page is titled Generate Video from Google Slides.

Paste your Google Slides URL into the Enter Google Slides URL field. It should look like:

https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/...

Step 4 — Click Generate Video

Click Generate Video. You'll see Processing... and then "Video generation started! You will receive an email shortly."

Close the tab. Lupo will take care of the rest.

Step 5 — Wait for the email

Same as the PowerPoint path: a few minutes later, an email lands in your inbox with a link back to the finished project. Click the link, watch the video, and iterate if needed.

If you change the Google Slides deck and want a new version of the video, just come back to this page and re-submit the same URL. Lupo re-reads the deck every time.

Common things that go wrong

"Please enter a valid public Google Slides URL." — The deck's access level isn't letting Lupo in. Go back to Google Slides, click Share, and change access to "Anyone with the link." Try again.

The video uses the wrong slide content. Google Slides caches can be aggressive. If you just made changes and they're not reflected in the video, wait a minute and re-submit.

The narration is empty on some slides. Speaker notes are empty on those slides. Fill them in (or use Generate Narration From PowerPoint if you want AI to draft them — note that tool currently runs on .pptx, so you'd export from Google Slides first).
