Tip of the Week: Trim YouTube videos using Google Slides!                                         Many teachers have asked, "How do I trim YouTube videos to show just a segment of video to my classes?" A week or so ago, a teacher asked me this and one of their students solved the problem! You can use Google Slides to trim YouTube videos! Yay! 

How do I use Google Slides to trim a YouTube video? 
  • First, go to slides.google.com (Google Slides)
  • Start a new presentation- "Blank" (big yellow plus sign)
  • Name the Google Slide and title the first slide (you can add a theme if you want)
  • Insert- Video (either search or "by URL" to paste a specific URL)
  • Once the video is added to the slide, click "Format Options"
  • Click on the "Video Playback" arrow and you will see this (picture to the right)...
    • You can preview the video and click on a start and end time. 
    • You can also choose to "autoplay when presenting" (this means as soon as you click on the slide it will start to play. 
  • If you have multiple clips, you can put each clip on its own slide!




THAT'S IT! Enjoy!
