Once a month, a few colleagues in NYC would stay up extra late and a few of us in Asia would get up extra early to have a 15-minute meeting on this global-local tools project (we all *love* this project sooooooooooo much).

Ever since I recommended the project manager simply make a slideshow recording on Google Slides and solicit feedback on a Google Doc, everyone loves me sooooooooooooooo much.

## Google Slides takes on Loom

Click on the “Rec” button on the top right in Google Slides to access the Slide Recording feature:

Honestly the process is pretty self-explanatory so I’m just going to point out some customizable features:

After the recording has been processed, navigate back to the “Rec” button to access links to the recordings.

## My favorite use cases

1. Communicating with a remote team across time zones
2. Standardizing an onboarding process
3. Recording answers to frequently asked questions and directing colleagues to watch the recordings

## Shortcut: Change Slides background with 1 click

Remember you can just drag and drop images to quickly change your Google Slides background 😁
