Google Meet provides an integration with Google Slides which allows you to control your presentation directly from a Google Meet window. Presentations created in Google Slides, as well as simple PowerPoint files without complex formatting or animations can also be uploaded to your Google Drive and used with this integration. Complex PowerPoint files may have distorted formatting when viewed in Slides, and may need to be viewed as a screen share.
