View speaker notes while presenting Google Slides in Google Meet

What’s changing

In October of 2022, we introduced the ability to present Google Slides directly in Google Meet. To build upon this, you can now view your speaker notes within Google Meet. 

Simply click the new speaker notes button in the Slides controls bar in Meet to display your speaker notes within the call. Present with greater confidence and engage with your audience without having to context switch between notes and slides. 

Getting started 

  • Admins: There is no admin control for this feature. 
  • End users: 
    • Select "Present a Tab" in Meet > choose a Google Slide presentation > click the speaker notes button in the controls at the bottom corner of the presentation. 
    • Visit the Help Center to learn more about controlling Slides presentations in Google Meet
