As someone who speaks at a lot of conferences: Don’t use Google Slides.
99.99% of the time it will be better to use Keynote or PowerPoint.
It’s nuts the amount of times I’ve seen Google Slides fail, not load video, and flashbang the audience with a completely white frame after every slide.
Often Google Slides does not cache the next slide even if you are in offline mode.
Yet whenever I see a conference speaker use it, and then it doesn’t work well because of the conference WiFi, they act surprised.
Why?
You’re ‘relying’ on ‘conference WiFi’. Anyone who has visited a conference is able to spot the naivety in that thought process.
So, download your presentation to PDF, or if you have gifs and videos download it to PowerPoint and have all your files on disk.
Please, do everyone else and yourself a favor: Stop presenting with Google Slides.
If Google Slides has a million haters, I am one of them.
If Google Slides has one hater, that one is me.
If Google Slides has no haters, that means I am dead.
