Google Slides is the company's answer to PowerPoint, the ubiquitous presentation tool of the business world. Just like other solutions, one of the limitations of Google Slides is getting a presentation from the computer to a large screen for the audience. Until now, this frequently required the use of a projector and an assortment of cables to connect all the hardware pieces. In a move that has been long sought by users of Google Slides, Google has finally enabled Chromecast support, as well as AirPlay support for Apple users, meaning presentations can be done wirelessly a lot easier than it has in the past.

Since Google Slides is a cloud-based product, users can work on putting their presentations together at their desktop or laptop. No need to lug those around or move the file onto a thumb drive though as a user can just fire up their tablet or smartphone to access the presentation on their mobile device. Users can then hit the cast button to launch the presentation. The Google Slides app on their mobile device gives users the ability to advance slides, check speaker notes, and it even comes with a built-in timer.

If you do not have Google Slides already, you can grab it with the download link below.
