Introduction
Google Slides is more than just a place to show your ideas. It helps you connect with your viewers. Want to ask a question, take a poll, or gather feedback during a presentation? You don’t need extra tools—just use Google Forms with Google Slides!
Although Google Slides doesn’t allow direct form embedding, you can still make it feel seamless with a clever trick. This guide shows you how to do it easily. Let’s begin.
Step 1: Make Your Google Form
To start, you’ll need a form.
- Go to Google Forms.
- Click the blank form or use a template.
- Add your questions.
- When done, click “Publish.”
- Choose the link icon (🔗), shorten the URL, and copy it.

Step 2: Open Google Slides and Choose a Slide
Now go to your Google Slides presentation. Pick the slide where you want the form.

Step 3: Add a Visual Element as a Button
Since we can’t paste the form inside the slide, we’ll use a clickable item instead.
Try one of these:
- Insert an image that says “Click to Fill Form”
- Use a shape like a rectangle or a circle
- Add a text box with a short message like “Take this quick survey”
To do this:
- Click Insert > Shape > Shapes
- Pick one and place it on the slide
- Add text like “Answer the Form” inside the shape

If you want to customize the look, here’s how to change the shape color or add a drop shadow for a nice effect.
Step 4: Add the Google Form Link
Now, turn your shape, image, or text into a clickable link.
- Select the object.
- Right-click and choose Link.
- Paste the Google Form URL you copied.
- Click Apply.

Done! Now, when someone views your slide in presentation mode, they can click and go directly to the form.

Bonus: Use a Screenshot for Better Visuals
Want it to feel like the form is actually inside your slide?
Here’s a trick:
- Take a screenshot of the Google Form
- Insert the image into your slide
- Add the form link to that image
This gives your audience a preview of what they’ll be filling out. It looks clean and professional.
