Hello,
In slides deck, I’m stuck with theme colors that I can’t rename or delete.
Am I missing something ?
Hi there! Can you please clarify if you are looking for the template style colors?
If so, we have released new Slides updates by the end of October, you can now rename and delete template styles colors in Figma Slides.
To learn more about templates and template styles, check out this article:
I hope this helps!
Yes thank you, I know have the bin icon to be able to delete a color style.
Do you have information about the improvement of the video component ?
As mentionned here : do you know when will be a new release with more controls over the video (maybe YouTube embed?)
Thanks
You are welcome! Unfortunately, I can’t guarantee an ETA for any improvements, but I’m happy to pass this to our product team as a feature request for their consideration in future product updates!
Thank you.
I recently had some trouble with video from previous slides, supposed to be paused, that keep playing in the background when playing a new video. I don’t know if I am the only one to report this ?
I have seen that we can now add Youtube embed by simply pasting the URL. But YouTube’s native features come before Figma’s (The “next” key on the keyboard does not go to the next slide, but advances the video by 5 seconds for exemple). Which makes navigating the presentation very complex.
I hope future features of video controls will improve all this.
Have a good day.
Thank you for the detailed feedback! About the video issue on Figma Slide, we are not aware of this issue.
If this is still happening, please feel free to contact our support team for further investigation. You can submit a bug report detailing the steps that led to this issue: here.
Please also include a video recording to investigate further if possible. Thank you!
Hey - looks like I’m having the same issues regarding deleting, renaming or changing the colour styles in Figma Slides.
I have a colour that I created that is not being applied anywhere in my deck. I can see it when I go to apply a style in a page in design editor mode, though it is not there in the Custom Style editor and so there is no ability to edit or delete it here.
I’m looking to either change the colour for the colour variable or, delete the colour variable so that I can create a new one with the new colour.
Hey Julia,
Thanks for flagging this! Sorry to hear you're running into trouble managing your color styles in Figma Slides.
Just a heads-up — I checked and saw that you’ve already reached out to our support team (your support ticket is #1320624). The agent has responded with some details to clarify the issue you're seeing, so I’d recommend checking your support ticket when you get a chance.
Please also continue the conversation with the support for further assistance, your ticket will re-open automatically.
For anyone else encountering a similar issue with renaming colors in Figma Slides, I wanted to share some general insights our team uncovered through Julia’s report that may be helpful for the community here:
- For example, when you click on a color style (see screenshot below per example, I edit with a brown color), it will replace the currently selected color in your template with that one. To change the actual color value itself, you’ll need to use the “Edit template color” option.

- If you want to rename the color instead, you’ll want to go to the “Custom” tab (where your selected color appears), and then update the name from the field at the bottom of that modal.
- You can also open the “Edit color” modal by clicking on the slider icon. Same thing applies here. The "Custom" tab lets you adjust the selected color and the "Libraries" tab allows you to replace it with a color from your libraries (including other libraries, if needed).
I hope this clarifies! If you are still having trouble, I’d recommend to reach out directly to our support team for further investigation by filling out this form (please also include a video recording so we can better visualise your issue): here. Thank you!
