How to Add a Transition to a Slide in Google Slides
The steps in this article assume that your presentation has at least two slides. The transition will be shown as the presentation reaches that slide. Note that if you elect to apply a transition to the first slide, the transition won’t play. Step 1: Sign into your Google Drive at https://drive.google.com/drive/my-drive and open the presentation containing the slide to which you want to add the transition. Step 2: Select the slide from the list at the left side of the window.
Step 3: Click the Transition button in the toolbar above the slide.
Step 4: Click the dropdown menu in the right column to select the transition that you want to use, select a speed for that transition, then click the Play button to see what that transition will look like.
If you click the Apply to all slides button in that column, it will add this transition to all of the slides in your presentation.
