You can upload an image as images appearing on the slides or background art. To upload an image to the slide click on an image Icon, fill in required details and click done.

Images uploaded to the slides can be resized in H5P while editing slides. Background, on the other hand, are fixed and fill in the entire space of the slide. Downloading images in the correct 2:1 ratio is particularly important if you plan to use slides as backgrounds.

To upload background click on the icon with the paint bucket below the slide. You can now choose whether you want the same background for the entire template or for just one slide.

I usually add images as the background because I prefer that they are in a fixed position and when adding additional functionality and interactions, there is no risk of accidentally moving or resizing them.

Ok, so that’s how you create the H5P presentation from Google slides.

Just one final note – If your presentation is long, consider using H5P for smaller chunks of your content – some section of your presentation perhaps. Think whether your learners would benefit from some interactivity, additional functionality that your google slides don’t have – and I don’t mean adding video or audio – this all can be easily created in Google slides. Think about the functionality that can be achieved only or more comfortable in H5P (built-in quiz, scenario or some other functionality of H5P slides – I have discussed them here in the post about How you can do H5P slides to make your presentations more engaging and effective).
