How to Cast Presentations from Google Slides.
- The first thing you will notice is that the cast icon doesn’t appear until you open a presentation.
- After that, it should show up in the action bar as you’ve come to expect.
- Tapping the icon will bring up a menu, instead of a pop-up, that lists which Chromecasts you may stream your slides too.
Once you select the streaming accessory, the app turns into a remote control of sorts, offering a timer to let you know how long you’ve been on the current slide. It also displays a thumbnail for the current slide in addition to a small preview for both the previous one and next item in the queue.
