Your deck lives in Google Slides. Your LMS wants an MP4.
Google Slides makes collaboration easy, but it does not export a finished narrated video. Teams usually fall back to recording themselves in presenter view — which works once, then becomes painful every time the deck changes.
There is a faster path: export your Google Slides deck as PPTX or PDF, upload it to Vidsembly's Presentation to Video, add AI narration per slide, and export an MP4 you can drop into an LMS, email follow-up, or YouTube — no microphone, no timeline editor.

When This Workflow Beats Screen Recording
Training and onboarding: consistent narration every new hire hears — not a different live take each quarter.
Sales enablement: reps share the same narrated pitch deck after calls.
Teachers and course creators: lesson slides become async videos students can rewatch.
Multilingual versions: regenerate narration in another language without re-recording.
If spontaneity and live Q&A are the point, screen recording with Loom or Google Meet still wins. If the deck is the product, AI narration is usually faster.
Skip straight to the tool
Export Google Slides as PPTX or PDF, upload to Presentation to Video, add scripts and AI voice, export MP4.
Step 1: Export Google Slides as PPTX or PDF
Open your deck in Google Slides.
Go to File → Download.
Choose Microsoft PowerPoint (.pptx) if you may edit slides later, or PDF Document (.pdf) if the deck is locked and approved.
Both formats work in Presentation to Video. PPTX tends to preserve structure if you iterate; PDF is the fastest path when visuals are final.
Step 2: Upload to Presentation to Video
Open Presentation to Video and upload the exported file. Vidsembly reads your slides and prepares one narration block per slide or page — keeping your layout, fonts, and charts intact.
Step 3: Write or Refine Scripts for Speaking
Do not read every bullet verbatim. Expand the slide with spoken context: what changed, why it matters, and what the viewer should do next. Short sentences sound more natural than dense slide copy read aloud.
Vidsembly can help draft scripts from slide content. Edit anything that sounds stiff before you generate voice.
Step 4: Choose an AI Voice (or Your Clone)
Pick a library AI voice for speed, or use a voice clone on paid plans when your audience should hear you — without recording every update. Presentation to Video supports 12 output languages for slide copy and narration when you need localized versions.
Step 5: Preview and Export MP4
Preview a few slides, fix pacing in the script if needed, then export the narrated MP4. Upload to your LMS, attach to a sales email, or post to LinkedIn or YouTube.
Optional polish: run the finished MP4 through AI Soundtrack for a subtle corporate or cinematic underscore.
PPTX vs. PDF Export from Google Slides
Export PPTX when you still tweak slides in PowerPoint or Google Slides after the first video pass.
Export PDF when Legal or brand already signed off and you want a locked visual reference.
Complex charts and custom fonts: preview the first export. Most Google Slides decks transfer cleanly; unusual fonts may need a quick visual check.
Google Slides Video vs. Other Paths
AI narration (this guide): best for repeatable training, sales decks, and lessons you will update.
Loom / screen record: best for founder updates and demos where your face and cursor matter.
Avatar studios (Synthesia, Elai): best when a talking presenter on camera is required — often rebuilds visuals instead of keeping every slide pixel-perfect.
