Slideshows

If you'd like to embed a slideshow in Gather for someone to interact with whenever they wish, you first need to upload the slides to a site that will create an embeddable link, such as Google Slides. 

Add Google Slides

Upload your presentation to Google Slides. From the File menu, select Publish to the web. Select Publish. 

Confirm that you wish to publish. A URL now displays for you to copy and paste.

From the generated link, remove everything after pub? and replace that text with embed. For example, you’ll get a URL like this:

https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/e/2PACX-1vSbaMdqLEgO0CjXPzEahfQm4mJIDhaGjU2waSy6DJz4m1hRXQNOBsRaoR74hYwH8s6atXylVla2ODM8/pub?start=false&loop=false&delayms=3000

After deleting everything after pub?, add the word embed so it looks like this instead:

 https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/e/2PACX-1vSbaMdqLEgO0CjXPzEahfQm4mJIDhaGjU2waSy6DJz4m1hRXQNOBsRaoR74hYwH8s6atXylVla2ODM8/embed

Copy the modified link. 

Add the Interactive Object

To embed a video in an object, open the Object Picker from Mapmaker or from the Build pane in your Space. In the Object Picker, select your desired object. Under Object Interactions, select Embedded website. Paste the modified URL into the field. 

Save the changes, then interact with the object to view the slides.
