Embed Google Slides in Elementor

Step-by-step guide to embed Google Slides in Elementor using the Custom iFrame WordPress plugin. No API key needed. No coding required.

Overview

Custom iFrame lets you embed Google Slides in Elementor by pasting a published presentation URL into the widget. Display presentations, portfolios, and reports directly on your WordPress page without an API key.

Custom iFrame is a WordPress plugin by CoderzStudio that embeds 100+ external sources in Elementor and Gutenberg without writing any code.

Requirements

A Google Slides presentation published to the web

Video Tutorial

Step 1: Get the Google Slides Link

Open your Google Slides presentation

Open the presentation you want to embed in Google Drive.

Publish the presentation to the web

Go to File > Share > Publish to web. Click Publish, then confirm by clicking OK.

Copy the published link

Copy the generated link. The URL ends in /pubhtml. This is the URL you will paste into Custom iFrame.

Paste the /pubhtml link into a browser where you are not logged into Google. If the presentation does not load, it was not published correctly. Repeat the publish step.

Open your page in Elementor

Go to the page where you want the presentation. Click Edit with Elementor.

Drag the widget onto your page

Search for Custom iFrame in the Elementor widget panel. Drag the widget into your layout.

In the Content tab, paste the /pubhtml URL into the Source URL field. The presentation appears in the editor.

Set the height

Set Height to match your slide dimensions. A 16:9 presentation at 800px wide needs about 450px height.

Step 4: Customize and Configure Settings

For styling, smart loading, and advanced options, see the Style Custom iFrame guide. Adjust dimensions, backgrounds, borders, and more.

Step 5: Save and Publish

Click Update or Publish. Your Google Slides presentation is now live on your WordPress site.
