Before diving into the steps, it’s important to understand why you might want to include a Google Form link in PowerPoint . Google Forms allows you to collect data, conduct surveys, and share forms with a large audience. Combining it with PowerPoint enhances interaction and makes your presentation more engaging.

• Search for Web Viewer and install it.
• Once installed, click on the Web Viewer icon and paste the Google Form link into the dialog box.

1. Insert a Shape

• Select Shapes and choose a button-like shape (such as a rectangle with rounded corners).
• Draw the shape on your slide where you want the button to be.

2. Add Text to the Shape

• Add a call-to-action like “Click Here to Complete the Survey” .

3. Link the Shape to Google Form

• Click OK to finalize.

This method makes the link more visible and engaging for your audience.

Troubleshooting: Common Issues with Google Form Links in PowerPoint

Sometimes, the link may not work in Slide Show mode . Ensure that the link was inserted properly and try adding it again. If you’re using Office 365 , embedding the form via Web Viewer may resolve this issue.

2. Google Form Not Displaying Correctly

If your audience is unable to open the Google Form, it could be due to the sharing settings. Make sure the Google Form is set to “Anyone with the link can respond.”

3. PowerPoint Freezing When Adding a Link

PowerPoint may freeze if the form link is too long or complex. Consider using the Shorten URL feature provided by Google Forms.

• Types of questions you use: short answers, multiple choice, drop down, and/or time/date questions.
• In the settings for your form, be sure to check “Automatically collect user’s email account”

Suggestions for using Forms for a Quiz/Test...

• Keep it short at first- make it a simple 1 section test with 10 to 20 questions.
• If you DO NOT want students to skip a question or leave it blank, fill in the “required” check.
• Only create sections if you have different types of questions (section 1: multiple choice; section 2- True/False)
• Are students able to take it over again or is it one-and-done? ( Settings- Can only submit 1 response)
• Create your test, take the test (for master), update your evaluation rubric and setup your feedback tab BEFORE you have students take the quiz.
