Google Slides is a presentation tool that enables users to create, edit, collaborate, and present. It is free for personal use, and available to businesses via a Google Workspaces subscription.
Of all the platforms out there - believe me, I've tried them all - or try to avoid them whenever I can - mmhmm stands on its own with its unique platform benefits, visualizations, ease of use, sharability, affordability, and overall "Wow" factor that we hope to get from our …
Google Slides, as an online-first solution, seems to be more integrated as a collaborative tool than other similar programs I've used, and it's simpler than Microsoft Powerpoint (both the desktop version and the much worse online version).
Canva is my choice for creating creative, unique, professional presentations, as they have a built-in library with icons, elements, charts, and graphics. It's easier to create beautiful charts and graphs on Canvas, but more advanced data may be better set up in Google Sheets …
I've used Microsoft PowerPoint, Apple Keynote, and Prezi in previous roles, and comparing them with Google Slides, I'd say the latter stands out for collaboration, ease of sharing, and real-time editing, which are really critical for teamwork. While PowerPoint and Keynote offer …
Google Slides has a much simpler format and is much easier to access and share than the others. For the others to be useful, you have to pay for them, and they’re still not as user-friendly. The only one that is similar is Canva. Where a may lead is with the templates it …
Google Slides has features similar to Canva's presentation tools, but Canva offers more design features (elements, stock photography, stock video, stock audio, fonts, etc.). Google Slides is part of Google Drive, so being able to switch between Slides, Docs, Sheets, etc. is a …
Google Slides is far more accessible than either Keynote or Powerpoint. It may not be as aesthetically pleasing as some of Keynote's templates (and transitions), and it may not be as well known as Powerpoint is to a generation of Microsoft users, but I have found that these …
PowerPoint has the most features but doesn’t sync as well as Google Slides. Keynote is not compatible for many people. Google Slides is by far the best option for collaboration and ease of use.
Google Slides is easier to learn and share than PowerPoint. While Miro is better for a working collaboration, Slides is a better presentation tool. Lumio and Nearpod are great for leading presentations where each person has a device, Slides is more compatible for presenter …

Chose Google Slides
Google Slides works both online and offline, they are free to use if you have a Google account. Easy to share and are supported by most web browsers. A great addition to your arsenal of interactive educational online platforms.
It has probably around 90% of the common features that are present in PowerPoint but is more appropriate for today's workflows of being online. Conveniently included with GSuite packages often makes it more of a default option over PowerPoint in modern times. I have not listed …
Skids is so much easier to use than PowerPoint and the design is much, much simpler. You can be more creative with Slides because it is flexible enough to use unlike PowerPoint. The downside is there is a learning curve because it isn’t the same old crappy software everyone …
On a standalone basis, where no collaboration is needed, Microsoft Powerpoint is a superior tool because the functionalities are easier to use and much more robust. But if collaboration is needed, Google Slides is optimal for business, sales and strategy collaboration. It is …
mmhmm is, by far, the absolute best presentation platform I have found - and I have looked a lot and demoed a lot of them. The flexibility, ease of use and visually engaging experience that mmhmm provides has, without fail, been a game changer tool no matter the presentation styles. While it is, hands down, the best virtual presentation platform, I have not been able to level up my in-person experiences to the same degree as I have online. I will continue to explore how and where I can integrate the mmhmm Studio toolsets to pump up my in-person experiences.
Well-suited to working on presentations or PowerPoint-style documents, including setting up templated slides and working collaboratively on presentations. It's less well-suited to setting up printable documents, though I have used it for simple printable documents, you just need to remember to set the slide size to A4 (or your preferred paper size) measurements.
Easily integrates static slides, animations and video without having to have vast technical skills.
It's an intuitive application to use. In a few minutes you sign up, start a new presentation and you're underway. It's pretty plug-n-play.
I've recommended it to my "non-technical" friends and they love it. They told me it was super easy to use and has made them more excited to create and share their presentations.
In the future I might like to see a fast-swap handoff to fellow presenters like we do in a live presentation.
Getting more updates on the platform advances in emails would be helpful. Like the recent sharing of useful templates was awesome.
I'd like to see more user stories shared to see how others are using the platform to make their presentations stand out. These kinds of things are helpful in feeding my ideas and insights for my next meeting, presentation and lessons.
The popularity for Google Slides among the casual technology tool users is so great that we are not in a position to replace this tool with anything else. Every other tool either doesn't have the popularity, or doesn't match the ease of sharing level of Slides. The training needed to learn a different tool is too great. Google Slides is very easy to pick up and master.
Google Slides is very easy and intuitive for creating simple, straightforward presentations. Its limitations make for less decision making. Being part of the Google Suite makes for easy sharing and collaboration, auto-saving, and time-stamped versions/edit history. However, unlike a platform like Canva, there's no icon library, photos, graphics, or elements built-in, so if you're wanting more creative designs, you have to import or create yourself.
Of all the platforms out there - believe me, I've tried them all - or try to avoid them whenever I can - mmhmm stands on its own with its unique platform benefits, visualizations, ease of use, sharability, affordability, and overall "Wow" factor that we hope to get from our audiences. No matter what it is we are presenting. To have that ability to integrate and gravitate to our presentations has proven to be a game changer that really did not take a lot for us to do. Even better is the fact that we still may have to - for whatever reason - build a presentation in one of the slide builder apps we can still import them seamlessly into mmhmm and use the mmhmm interface as our camera when we use the other platforms. It's been a complete win, win, win all around.
I've used Microsoft Powerpoint, Apple Keynote, and Prezi in previous roles, and comparing them with Google Slides, I'd say the latter stands out for collaboration, ease of sharing, and real-time editing, which are really critical for teamwork. While PowerPoint and Keynote offer more advanced design and animation options, and Prezi is better suited for more dynamic presentations, Google Slides is more practical for day-to-day collaboration.
We've only seen positive impact since deciding to use mmhmm
The ROI is a bazillion-fold. It's not an expensing platform, but the positive impact has been priceless!
Even the Powerpoint burnt out team members have taken easily to using mmhmm
Our presentations get comments like, "Wow... this is cool." "We really loved this presentation. It was completely engaging." "What are you guys using? This is pretty dang cool!"
