Ensuring that your message is clear and understandable during your presentations is essential.
Whether you're presenting in a foreign language, have difficulty speaking loudly, or simply want to improve the clarity of your speech, adding subtitles in Google Slides can be very useful.
Here's how to easily add subtitles to your presentation in just a few simple steps.
Steps for adding subtitles to Google Slides
