- Click Save, and your app is ready to use.

FAQ
I tried previewing the Google Slides, and it is not working.
A: This app can’t work in the Preview as Google blocks the content as it works only on Raspberry Pi players.
My Slides contain videos. Can the videos be displayed?
A: Download them from Google as PPT or PPTX and then go to “Media” -> “Videos” and click “Add Video”. In the pop-up select PPT and upload the slides.
