Choosing the wrong present option makes it difficult for you. So, when you use Google Slides, share the specific window for better performance and accidental screen exposure.
The Slides are designed for in-person meetings, which do not work well online. So, use large fonts, minimal text, high-contrast colors, and avoid cluttered visuals. To make it more visible to the attendees.
Test audio, video, and slide transitions before the meeting so that there are no issues during the live session.
A stable internet connection is very important, as a weak connection can cause slide lag, audio distortion, and interruptions in screen-sharing.
Keep a copy of your Google slides especially in bubsines presentation. So that you will not lose any important file.
At the end, completely stop the presentation in Google Meet. Make sure that the screen sharing is disabled, etc., to avoid accidental sharing.
