Why is Google Slides not letting me insert a video?
There could be several reasons why Google Slides is not letting you insert a video. Some of the possible issues could be:
1. Unsupported video format: Google Slides supports various video formats such as MP4, AVI, WMV, FLV, MOV, etc. If your video is in a format that is not supported, you won’t be able to insert it.
2. Large file size: If your video file size is too large, Google Slides may not allow you to insert it. Make sure your video is compressed or downsized before uploading it to Google Slides.
3. Slow internet connection: If you have a slow internet connection, your video may take a long time to upload, or it may fail to upload altogether. Check your internet speed and try uploading the video again.
4. Browser compatibility issues: Sometimes, certain features in Google Slides may not work well with certain browsers. Try using a different browser to see if that resolves the issue.
5. Google Slides glitch: Occasional technical glitches with Google Slides could prevent you from inserting a video. If you have tried all the above solutions and are still unable to insert your video, try logging out and logging back in to see if that solves the issue.

How do you put a video from your phone into Google Docs?
Adding videos to Google Docs is not directly possible. However, there are a couple of workarounds that will allow you to insert a video into your document.
One way is to upload your video to Google Drive and share it with your collaborators. Then, you can insert a link to the video on your Google Doc. To do this, go to "Insert" on your Google Doc’s toolbar, click on "Link", and paste the link to your video in the field.
Another option is to screen record your video on your phone and insert it as a GIF using a third-party app. Once you have the GIF, you can insert it into your Google Doc by clicking on "Insert" and then "Image".
Keep in mind that videos can take up a lot of space and potentially slow down your document’s loading time, so it’s best to use shorter videos or compress them before uploading them to Google Drive.
