Comparison between Google Slides and Power point. Which one is better? 



PowerPoint has been the worldwide leading presentation software for over 30 years now. Compared to PowerPoint, Google Slides was introduced only a few years ago but have been steadily gaining speed until then. There are several reasons of google docs being popular. Some of the major features of google docs are presented below:

 Accessibility

Google Slides doesn’t require any software installation in order to run. Since it is a cloud-based software, all you need to start preparing your presentation is a Google account and the internet.

PowerPoint, on the other hand, requires the Microsoft Office software to be installed on your PC in order to run. Your presentations are saved on your hard disc which means they are accessible in your personal computer.

Online performance

Google Slides was created with an online performance in mind. The cloud-based software works flawlessly when the internet connection is strong.

The online version of PowerPoint – PowerPoint Online comes with fewer features than Google Slides and even lesser than the advanced desktop version.

Teamwork

Google Slides allows seamless collaboration between you and your team members. You can chat, comment, and make edits while you create your presentation simultaneously.

Collaboration is not always possible with PowerPoint. In order to collaborate on a PowerPoint presentation, you and your team members need to work with PowerPoint 2010 or later, then save your template on OneDrive, and share the presentation with your fellow-collaborators. Another option is to use PowerPoint Online.
