Google Slides app for digital signage
The Google Slides app eliminates repetitive content updates by connecting your presentations directly to your screens. Restaurants use it for digital menu boards, retailers display promotions that change with inventory, and offices show company announcements and team information. Setup takes seconds – authenticate your Google account, select your presentation, adjust display timing, and publish. When you modify your slides, screens update automatically without interrupting playback, creating a seamless content management system.

FAQ
Do I need to make my Google Slides presentation public for this to work?
The app offers two viewing options. "Public View" provides real-time updates but requires your presentation to be publicly shareable. "PDF View" works with restricted sharing settings and offers offline functionality by converting your presentation to a cached file that refreshes periodically.
How quickly do slides update when I make changes to my presentation?
In "Public View" mode, changes appear almost immediately after you save them in Google Slides. With "PDF View", updates refresh approximately every few minutes. This automatic synchronization happens without any manual intervention, ensuring your displayed content stays current.
Can I control the transitions between slides or maintain animations from my presentation?
The app respects the slide timing you set in Fugo rather than using Google Slides' built-in transition settings. While complex animations may not display exactly as they appear in the editor, basic content and design elements remain intact, making it ideal for information-focused presentations.
Is it possible to show only specific slides from my presentation?
Currently, the app displays your entire presentation in sequence. Many users create dedicated presentations specifically for their digital signage needs, keeping them separate from presentations intended for other purposes. This approach maintains content control while still leveraging Google Slides' familiar editing interface.
