How To Print Google Slides With Notes

If you’ve ever created a presentation using Google Slides, you may have wondered how to print your slides with accompanying notes. While Google Slides doesn’t have a built-in feature to directly print slides with notes, there are a few workarounds you can use to achieve this. In this guide, we’ll show you how to print Google Slides with notes easily and efficiently.

Method 1: Exporting Google Slides With Notes to PDF

One of the simplest ways to print Google Slides with notes is to export your presentation as a PDF. Follow these steps to do so:

1. Open your Google Slides presentation.
2. Click on “File” in the top menu bar.
3. Select “Download” from the dropdown menu.
4. Choose “PDF Document (.pdf)” from the options.
5. Check the box that says “Speaker notes.”
6. Click on “Download” to save the PDF file to your computer.

Once you have downloaded the PDF file, you can then print it with the speaker notes included.

Method 2: Copying and Pasting Notes

If you prefer not to export your Google Slides as a PDF, you can manually copy and paste the speaker notes into a separate document before printing. Here’s how you can do it:

1. Open your Google Slides presentation.
2. Click on “File” in the top menu bar.
3. Select “Print settings and preview.”
4. A new window will open with a preview of your slides.
5. Click on “Print settings” at the top right corner of the window.
6. Choose the option “Notes” under “Print layout.”
7. Now, you can see the speaker notes next to each slide.
8. Select and copy the speaker notes for each slide.
9. Paste the notes into a separate document like Microsoft Word or Google Docs.
10. Once you have all the notes in the document, you can print it.

This method may take a bit more time, but it allows you to have full control over how the notes are formatted before printing.

Method 3: Using Google Chrome’s Print Preview

Another way to print Google Slides with speaker notes is to use Google Chrome’s Print Preview feature. Follow these steps:

1. Open your Google Slides presentation in Google Chrome.
2. Click on the three dots in the top right corner of the browser window.
3. Select “Print” from the dropdown menu.
4. Make sure the “Print notes” option is checked.
5. Click on “Print” to print your slides with notes.

This method is quick and easy, especially if you prefer to print directly from your web browser.
