How to Seamlessly Embed TikTok Videos in Google Docs and Slides

YouTube provides numerous avenues to share and display content across digital platforms, and TikTok is no exception. To embed a TikTok video into Google Docs or Google Slides, you need to follow a straightforward process that involves obtaining the video link and then inserting it into your document or slide. This guide will walk you through the steps and provide optional tips for making your documents more visually appealing.

Embedding TikTok Videos in Google Docs

To embed a TikTok video in Google Docs, follow these simple steps:

Step 1: Obtain the TikTok Video Link

Open the TikTok app or website. Locate the video you wish to embed by searching or navigating through your feed. Click on the share icon Typically, this icon appears as an arrow. Select a sharing option (such as Copy) if necessary to get the video link.

Step 2: Insert the TikTok Link into Google Docs

Open your existing Google Docs document or create a new one. Place the cursor at the point where you want the clickable link to appear. Use Ctrl C (Windows/Linux) or Cmd C (Mac) to copy the video link. Use Ctrl V (Windows/Linux) or Cmd V (Mac) to paste the link into the document. Note: Google Docs converts the URL into a clickable link automatically.

Optional: Enhance with a Screenshot or Thumbnail

To make your Google Docs document more visually appealing, you can include a screenshot or thumbnail of the TikTok video. Here’s how:

Take a screenshot of the TikTok video using your device’s screen capture feature or a third-party tool. Insert the screenshot into your Google Docs document.

Click on the link icon in the toolbar to create a link. Paste the TikTok video link into the link field.

Note: Google Docs does not support direct video embedding, so the method above only creates a clickable link. Readers will need to follow the link to view the video on TikTok.

Step 1: Open Your Google Slide in Google Slides
