Adding a Slides Carousel to a Canvas Page
Summary
Learn how to embed a Google Slides presentation as an image carousel on a page in Canvas.
Body
- Create the Google Slides file that you will be using for the slide show.
- From that file, click File > Share > Publish to Web.
- Switch from Link to Embed at the top of the settings window.
- Review and adjust your other settings accordingly - size, auto-advance, loop, etc.
- Click Publish.
- This will generate an iFrame code - a long string of numbers, letters, and symbols that will display the slide deck using HTML. Highlight the entire iFrame code and click copy (or use the keyboard command control/command + C).
- Open the desired course in Canvas. Select the Pages tool from the left-hand menu, then click the + Page button.
- Add a title to the page, then click in the large text box in the center of the page (called the Rich Content Editor). There is an icon on the bottom right-hand side of the Rich Content Editor that has the following symbols: </>. This will open the HTML editor.

- Once the HTML editor is open, paste the iframe code into the text box. It should look similar to the example below.

- You can now toggle back to the Rich Content Editor by clicking the </> button on the bottom right-hand side. This will display a preview of the slide show and allow you to add any additional content (text, video, photos, additional slide shows, etc.) to the Canvas Page.
- Be sure to click Save at the bottom of the page (or Save & Publish if you are ready for students to see the Page in a live course).
