Google has recently enhanced its video application Google Vids, which is integrated into Workspace. Following the addition of the Veo 3.1 model in April, the company has now expanded a previously English-only feature: converting a Google Slides presentation into an AI-generated video, to include French.

Presentations Now Transformed into Videos, Available in French
The slides to video support has been expanded to include seven additional languages simultaneously: French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, and Spanish now join English.
In practical terms, the tool converts each slide into a video scene and relies on Gemini to generate a script, voiceover, background music, and animations. No settings are needed, neither for administrators nor users, as the feature activates automatically throughout its rollout.
Plans Eligible for This Feature
The Slide to video conversion is available on:

Step-by-step: Converting a Slides Presentation into a Video
The conversion can be initiated from Google Slides or directly within Google Vids. The steps to produce a video with AI generation are as follows:
- Open a presentation in Google Slides, click on File then Convert to Video. The process can also start in Vids, via the Convert Slides option which imports a presentation from Google Drive.
- Select the slides to import: with AI functions enabled, import is limited to 45 slides per video, compared to 100 without AI.
- Keep the AI generation option (script, voiceover, background music, animations) active, then proceed to the next step.
- Review and adjust the scripts provided for each scene: replace them with the presenter’s notes, revert to the generated script or directly modify the text, including its language.
- If necessary, modify the voiceover from the dedicated card by selecting another voice from the menu.
- Start the generation of the draft video. Each slide becomes a scene, with its duration automatically aligning with that of the voiceover.
The video remains editable after generation: the script, voiceover, and scenes can be tweaked in Vids, up to a total duration of ten minutes.
Deployment Schedule
- Rapid Release domains: gradual rollout starting June 30, 2026 (visibility within a maximum of 15 days).
- Scheduled Release domains: full deployment from July 20, 2026 (visibility within 1 to 3 days).
A Further Step in Google’s Video Strategy
The ability to convert Slides into videos was first announced at Google I/O 2025, with a promise to generate scripts, voiceovers, and animations from a presentation. The introduction of French language support fulfills this promise for French-speaking professionals.
This feature is part of a series of developments in Google Vids, which has been integrated into Workspace since June 2024. For instance, the IA avatars of the tool are already offered in eight languages, including French. Google continues to bridge the functionality between Slides and Vids, both designed with a shared logic of scene-based content creation.
