Finally! You can now embed videos in your Google Slides projects directly from Google Drive!

What a better way for Google to say HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY than by releasing some AWESOME new features!

SERIOUSLY you guys, I am SO EXCITED about this new feature that Google Slides has released! We can FINALLY insert videos into our Google Slides projects by embedding DIRECTLY from GOOGLE DRIVE. Guess what else? You can also now make the videos AUTOPLAY as soon as a Slide loads. Not having this feature has been SUCH AN ISSUE when my students give their presentations in class. They had no control over making their video start, and I usually would have to end up opening the video in an entirely new tab. 

I have waited for this feature for SO LONG! When my students give their All About Me Presentations, they often like to include videos of pets or of their family. Unfortunately, they have had to upload the video to YouTube if they really wanted to include the video, and I personally never felt that this was a very safe option. Well, thanks to this awesome new release, the students can now embed the videos DIRECTLY FROM DRIVE! This is my favorite update, EVER, for Google Suite.

Wanna know how to do this? View the screenshots below! P.S. This is also included in my Google Slides Tutorial. This is a great resource to have to use for students and teachers alike.
