Hey everyone,


I love Slides. I can’t wait to make it my go-to tool; I design a lot and also give many presentations. This gives me the best of both worlds. However, there’s still one important option missing:


The option to share a presentation externally without someone necessarily having to work on it. I often get asked after my presentation if I can share it. It’s possible now, but videos don’t play in it. When will this be fixed?


Another thing: when I present from Figma, a video is blurry for the first 15-20 seconds. How can I fix this?

Hi there,


Thanks for the feedback!


I tried to create a test slide with an embedded video, and it seems to be working for me. Could you take a look at my sample slide? My test slide is here, and please note that this link will expire in 7 days: Sample Slide Dev


While video uploads are available on any paid plan, I believe you should be able to do it if you are on a paid plan.



I’m also curious about the blurriness you mentioned regarding the video in Figma. Would you be able to share the file link with access to support-share@figma.com? This won’t affect your billing. I hope to investigate this further.


Thanks for your patience!

Hey there! Thanks, this is helpful. Funny, this is exactly what I was looking for but couldn’t (and still can’t) find. It seems the difference lies in the URL structure:


When I want to share a presentation, I get a shareable URL that looks like this:

figma.com /slides/dDECK ID].


Whereas your link has this structure:

figma.com /deck/eDECK ID].


That makes the difference. Or am I clicking the wrong ‘share’ button? in the upper right corner?


Another question; is there a way to ensure that the videos are sharp from the very first second? It seems like they start in low quality and only after a few seconds do they stream in high quality.


Ah I see! To enter “Presentation” mode in Slides, click the triangle icon. Once in Presentation mode, you can share your presentation: step by step↓


Regarding video quality, it starts in high quality on my end. It might be a rendering issue in the pc environment. It should only take a few seconds to render. Can you take a look at this article for more information?
