Add a slide background

The briefing slide background is set to the background color from the current theme, but you can override this and apply the following styles:

  • Solid color

  • Gradient

  • Image

Use the following steps to add a slide background:

  1. Click the Slide actions button on the top edge of the slide.

  2. Click Change background.

  3. Choose a Background style option.

    1. For Color, choose a color by clicking a swatch or setting a custom color.

    2. For Gradient, choose a gradient option.

    3. For Image, click Add image and upload a background image.

Note:

  • Only one background style can be applied at a time.

  • A background set on a slide will persist if the theme is changed.

  • You may have to adjust text colors on the slide if you choose a color or gradient that is very different than the original theme background color.

  • When using an image, use a 16:9 image with background elements that do not conflict with areas where you plan to add text.
