Customize text size and position for captions in Google Slides

Quick launch summary

You can now personalize caption text size and position while presenting in Google Slides. These features can help make captions easier to read, like ensuring all audience members can view captions in a large room. Or, you could make your text smaller to maximize the number of words on screen at once.

While presenting, select the dropdown menu next to the Captions button on the toolbar. From there, you can then set the text size and position.

See our Help Center to learn more about presenting Slides with captions.
