3 Ways Teams Use Embedded Google Slides in monday.com — Google Easy Embed Pro Blog

Teams embed Google Slides in monday.com to keep presentations visible where work happens — sprint reviews, client decks, and onboarding materials all live alongside the tasks they support. Google Easy Embed Pro makes this a one-click setup.

1. Sprint Review Presentations

Sprint reviews work best when the demo deck is accessible to everyone on the team — not buried in a Slack thread or email chain. Embed the sprint review slide deck directly in your sprint board so developers, designers, and stakeholders can all reference it.

A 2024 Scrum Alliance survey found that 72% of agile teams hold sprint reviews at least every two weeks. That’s a lot of decks to manage. By embedding the presentation in the board, your team:

Reviews progress without switching to a separate tab
Updates slides collaboratively before the meeting
Archives past sprints by keeping the deck attached to the board

Setup Tips

Set the access mode to Edit so multiple team members can add their slides before the review
After the meeting, switch to View mode to lock the deck as a historical record
Google Slides embeds use the Content display mode, which shows a clean presentation view

2. Client-Facing Status Decks

Account managers and project leads often maintain a status deck that gets updated weekly for client check-ins. Instead of hunting for the latest version in Drive, embed it in the client project board.

According to a 2023 Salesforce report, 86% of professionals cite lack of collaboration and poor communication as the leading cause of workplace failures. Keeping the client deck visible in the same board where tasks are tracked reduces the gap between doing the work and reporting on it.

Setup Tips

Use View access mode for boards shared with clients via monday.com guest access — this prevents accidental edits
Use Comment access mode for internal boards so your team can leave notes on specific slides
Rename the view tab to something clear like “Client Status Deck” so it’s easy to find

3. Onboarding and Training Materials

New hires need process documentation and training materials from day one. Embed onboarding slide decks in your team’s main board so new members find everything in one place instead of navigating a maze of shared drives and bookmarks.

A 2024 SHRM study found that organizations with structured onboarding programs see 50% greater new-hire productivity. Embedding training slides in the board where new hires will do their daily work reinforces that structure.

Setup Tips

Set access mode to View to prevent new hires from accidentally modifying the deck
Create a dedicated board view for each training module (e.g., “Onboarding: Company Overview”, “Onboarding: Tools Setup”)
Pair embedded slides with a Google Doc view for detailed written instructions — Google Easy Embed Pro supports multiple file types
