Is it possible to programmatically trigger a slide transition during a presentation


Does one know if there is a way to programmatically trigger a slide change during a presentation ?

I'd like to be able to share the "transition triggers" (back and forth at least) with some other attendes when I presenting during an online meeting or a video conference.

Due to covid and thus massive usage of online meeting these days, I guess :

  • Either it already exist, and I didn't guessed which are the right terms to search for it on Google (or whichever search engine you like ;)
  • Or it's not possible, and in that case, I'd like to understand why, in order to enhance my knowledge of all or part of Google Slide API and / or Google app script

    No.

    If it's not possible, why?

    Those at Google have not made the decision to implement it - perhaps because the feature has yet to be requested.

    Feature Request:

    You can however change this! You can let Google know that this is a feature that is important for access to their APIs, and that you would like to request they implement it.

    Google's Issue Tracker is a place for developers to report issues and make feature requests for their development services, I'd urge you to make a feature request there. The best component to file this under would be the Apps Script component, with the Feature Request template.
