Businesses that use Google Workspace have the advantage of directly presenting the Google Slides within Google Meet. As a result, both the presenter and the audience will get several benefits.

Pros of Linking Slides in Meet

By integrating Google Slides in Google Meet, you can see the slides, audience video feeds, and control the presentation in a single browser tab. This reduces the constant switching between tabs.
View private speaker notes directly from the Google Meet interface. This way, you maintain the focus on the call.
A primary presenter can assign others as a co-presenter. Co-presenters can also see the audience, speaker notes, slide navigation, and control media playback. This eliminates verbal cues like next slide, please.
The speaker spotlight feature allows you to embed your live camera feeds directly into a Slide tile. So that everyone can see your content will be visible and everyone will follow it.
While taking a presentation in a meeting, the presenter can add or draw texts, stickers, and shapes on the slides in real time.
Users can directly share the slide deck with all the attendees through the Google Slides interface.
During the recording, the Slides and presenters video is display side by side to help you create training materials.

There are many other benefits to sharing Google Slides in Google Meet. But before you go through the methods, you must prepare yourself.

After adding the Google Slides to Google Meet. Sometimes, the organizer encounters difficulties in presenting the slides. To help you in this, I have several tips that you can practice for a smooth meeting.

Practices for a Smooth Google Slides Presentation in Google Meet

When presenting in Google Meet, use Presenter View. This helps you to stay organized by allowing you to view speaker notes privately, track elapsed time, and preview upcoming slides.
Choosing the wrong present option makes it difficult for you. So, share the Google Slides in a specific window for better performance and to prevent accidental screen exposure.
Use large fonts, minimal text, high-contrast colors, and avoid cluttered visuals to make the content more visible.
Test the audio, video, and slide transitions before the meeting so that there will be a smooth live session.
A stable internet connection is very important while conducting a presentation online. Because a weak connection can cause slide lag, audio distortion, etc during the meeting.
Keep a copy of your Google slides especially for business presentations. 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.

Secure Google Slides for a Long Time

These practices ensure a smooth and professional presentation of Slides in an online meeting. Along with it, it is also important to have access to the long-term files. Businesses grow over time, teams change, or their Google Workspace domain changes. However, critical files like these slides should be stored in a proper way.

When it comes to switching to another account or moving the slides files from one account to another. You should properly migrate your data without any data loss. To handle this safely, users can use the SysTools Google Drive Migration Tool, a professional tool to move their files while keeping the permissions and data secure.
