figma made this as a way for product managers and product designers to better present their work to stakeholders, trust me its not an alternative for powerpoint or google slides
@@hachemimouhamed2676ultimately it’s still a tool for you to present your deck, so no matter what it’s intended for, it can still be used as an alternative
I would like to create my own slide design and save it as a template so that I can use it anytime. Is this possible? Also, if possible, I would be very happy if you could tell me how to do it. thank you.
It's just missing charts and graphs. If I have to do them with shapes by hand, my team won't be able use or edit them. I'd love to move away from powerpoint, but without graphs We can't incorporate it.
@@_HMCB_ Talking about charts. The issue is that they would not be created by data, or actual number values, but with shapes, if any value changes You would need a designer to redo these charts.
I highly support this! Hope Figma introduces more manual animating tools(not slide transitions) and does not turn out to be like another money-grabbing design platform.
Will you be able to create your own custom templates? And, will there ever be an export to .ppt option? We love working within Figma, but sadly larger clients always need a ppt version of their decks.
This is amzing. I was already using figma for making slides and pitch deck for exporting. There are some feature still missing, hope they will be integrated soon too
How to create your own theme/template that match your company's brand? Is it tool just for design team or it can be shared to marketing and sales with branded template?
I like that you seem to have a magic-move equivalent, we frequently need to animate items between slides. Is there a 'outline view' like Powerpoint, e.g. some way to quickly get a lot of text content into Figma?
This is the big question. Clients may not want to bother with it and old habits of just having everything as a PPT hasn’t changed in decades. It could be better than everything out there but it’s now another tool and there are info security concerns too. And if you work with a lot of non-designers who all are more in tune with PPT, what are you gonna do? As much as I wish there was something do dethrone the pain that PPT is, it’s part of MS ecosystem and people just know and accept it. Seeing the this is a new mode entirely, it’s gonna be behind a paywall just like FigJam was. They need to make this worth the cost vs just having prototypes built in Figma standard as a presentation and/or slide software already paid for.
is cool but it is still very much in its infancy, lacking some basic features for presentation software. Unfortunately, I will go back to using Keynote/PPT until Slides has evolved a little bit
So, the idea is that everyone gets on Figma link instead of sharing the presentation through Teams/Zoom? Yeah, I already see all those execs trying out how to figure this out and having to create the account for the first time :D
I am a film maker who pitches all the time. I’d love the idea of a Figma Slides style approach that is focussed not just on words or products, but also rich imagery, gifs, video embeds, galleries, etc. And that can be scaled for tablet and cell phone… (hello Readymag). Any chance..?
Figma's updates and video tutorials are great, but the audio can be quite distracting. It might be easier for viewers to concentrate if the narration is done naturally, rather than reading from a script. If the audio is AI-generated, having a human speaker could improve the experience. Thank you. 🤓💯🙏
wellllll adding animation without the option to customise them as we canin figma is a bit weird and disappointing. Hope this will be updated soon, since then I will keep using figma for prototyped presentations

We gave Google slides enough time to rethink things and make life easier. Instant Switch
couldn't agree more ;'))

More than enough time, it's actually kind of insulting really lol
@@hachemimouhamed2676ultimately it’s still a tool for you to present your deck, so no matter what it’s intended for, it can still be used as an alternative
You'll also rethink when you have to start paying for it

thank you.
still didnt figure out how to import excel table values to a figma slides table , the most basic need.
YEESSS
All we wanted was speaker notes in Figma. Now they bring out a separate feature that you'll have to pay for in the future. Can't see it catching on
This is super exciting!!! Well done, Figma team ✨
I always use Figma for slides, hope to see Figma for print soon
Video and 3D elements would be a massive win as well for presenting architecture presentations!
move aside, Google Slides and Microsoft PPT!
When companies have licenses for g suite or office suite already this isn't ever gonna happen
If we are able to export this out in pptx format then we golden!
It's just missing charts and graphs. If I have to do them with shapes by hand, my team won't be able use or edit them. I'd love to move away from powerpoint, but without graphs We can't incorporate it.
Can’t you design the graphs in Figma and then move them over to Slides? I’m not really a Figma user so I’m kind of asking for myself 😊.
@@_HMCB_ Talking about charts. The issue is that they would not be created by data, or actual number values, but with shapes, if any value changes You would need a designer to redo these charts.
Interactive prototypes embedded into the deck is a game changer. I've been trying to hack this into my presentations for a while now.
Same thoughts
All these time creating slides on figma did not go in vain, thank you figma!!
Canvas and Google Slides at the moment : 👁️👁️😮💨😮💨😮💨😮💨😮💨😮💨🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵

How are u going to export to ppt when ppt doesn’t even have features that Figma has?
@@chaya973 There are plugins that export your file to power point
not including figma's plugins is the biggest drawback ever, like the thing that makes figma distinguish from others is the plugins!!!
I can’t see the option to add presenter notes. How do I toggle it?
Click the handle above the toolbar while in slide view. It should pop up
Really hope there’s an option to export to PDF to share with clients after the meeting etc.
Good news, yes there's an option to export your slides to PDF.
Yes, you can export the slide desk as PDF. Click on the Figma icon on the top-left corner --> File --> Export all slides to PDF.
Add the ability to embed these slides into a website!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The narrator definitely sounds AI generated 🤔
This is quite exciting. Can't wait to use it
Nice move, used figma for presentation even before this
RIP PowerPoint (I wish)
This is amzing. I was already using figma for making slides and pitch deck for exporting.
There are some feature still missing, hope they will be integrated soon too
Flides is the superior name 💯
Very cool! One question though: Will this support GIF and video formats as well?
It supports GIFs just like normal Figma 😊
Flides is far more better and concise name
Hope this finally kills PPT... im so done working on presentations in that app
That will never happen.
Can I import a ppt and turn it into figma slides?
Extremely easy to move existing slides over. Just copy paste the Frames and done! So awesome!
How to create your own theme/template that match your company's brand? Is it tool just for design team or it can be shared to marketing and sales with branded template?
should be flides
how I can add more template style to my deck?
If you could export these to PPT it would be a game changer
ace, i just made 2 large presentations in figma so will be keen to give this a go next time!
I like that you seem to have a magic-move equivalent, we frequently need to animate items between slides. Is there a 'outline view' like Powerpoint, e.g. some way to quickly get a lot of text content into Figma?
Sounds AMAZING. Can I see the history of the people who saw my deck?
Nice update. It would be nice to export in pptx format.
Man this is amazing. Can't wait to try this out. Well done!
Where’s export button?
I see export in the properties panel when I toggle from slide mode to design mode in the tool bar
Flide into my DMs
Wow, :D
This is super cool !
are you able to export the slide deck to PDF/PPT/keynote?
Hi, you can export the slide desk as PDF. Click on the Figma icon on the top-left corner --> File --> Export all slides to PDF.
Lovely, looking forward to using this. Great job!
Love this. So grateful for Figma.
Can the deck be viewed by people without figma?

Not for long.
@@misscalee612 we shall see but other deck building software has yet to dethrone PowerPoint.
Don’t get me wrong, I hope it gets dethroned!
best text rewriter I've ever seen. congrats, Figma team!
upload video still doesnt work, cancelled my subscription immediately after
I'm very fascinated, this will make life easier. Thank you Figma!!!!

Time to switch!

Now this is what i am hyped about !
Wow. This is laudable!!!!
Magnificent ! Thank you so much !
This is great for ideation, Congratulations Figma
Can't wait to try this out! ☀
An absolute dream come true!!!
This is exciting! Can't wait to try this. ❤
Love me some Flides!
How should I export every slides together as a same PDF?
Does anyone know how to add a link to an image ? (without putting a text box over it)
why can't we embed video urls? e.g. youtube
A dream come true 😢❤
@Figma 3:02 - Hey, just curious, why show CMD in the shortcut when Windows doesn’t have it? What's the Windows version?
Thanks for flagging!
This was a mistake on our end, you can hold down the Ctrl key on Windows to zoom in and out while scrolling the mouse wheel.
Too bad it can't be resized to 8.5 x 11 inches.
Can it do financial modelling presentation as well?
Does anyone know how to add page numbering?
All I ever wanted
But it can't make an automatic ppt based on a word document
Would we be able to create our own brand deck templates ?
Is it normal that I don't have the "new slide deck" in the homepage ( I don't know where to access it too)
ps. great work to all the team!!
It's rolling out over the next few hours so you should see it soon!

Why i can not share it to my team member to edit ? :(
I want to be able to use plugins in slides
wellllll adding animation without the option to customise them as we canin figma is a bit weird and disappointing. Hope this will be updated soon, since then I will keep using figma for prototyped presentations
this is amazing, I only hope the cursor for voting doesnt show up in the meeting.. I have when whatsapp shows everyone what you are voting.
useful video 👍🏻
Maybe is just me, but I didnt see the animacion tool for single objetcs on the slide...
Should figma, figjam, figdes be split into separate apps?
Hopefully this is free like Google slides. So that any members from the team can also create or edit contents easily.
Exciting
Does sharing provide a link to a webpage so that clients who just need to view can go through it at their own pace?
I’m signing the Petition for Flydes.
Excited to try this out!
Really cool!!! thanks Figma
Nice!
So exciting!
Google slides is awful but when somethings free, what do you expect. Figma Slides will be $10/month in no time
Can't wait to use it !
Cursor chat :)
Amazing
Hopefully not another bait and switch like dev mode. Offer for free at first, then charge $5/seat.
They have been clear that it will be a paid product in the future.
Get me more ai
export?
Figma + canva = Figma slides
