Zooming in and out on Google Slides can be helpful for several purposes, including:
1. Adjusting the view: Zooming in and out allows you to adjust the view of your presentation. If you want to focus on a particular section of your presentation or want to show the details of a specific slide, you can zoom in to get a closer look.
2. Checking details: Zooming in can also help you check the details of your slides. This is especially useful when you are editing the presentation and need to make sure that everything is aligned and formatted correctly.
3. Showing specific elements: Zooming in on specific elements of your slide can help draw attention to them. For example, if you have a chart or graph on your slide, zooming in on it can help your audience better understand the data.
4. Accommodating different screen sizes: Zooming in and out can help you accommodate different screen sizes. If your presentation is going to be viewed on a large screen, you may want to zoom out to make sure that everything fits on the screen. On the other hand, if your presentation is going to be viewed on a smaller screen, you may want to zoom in to make sure that your audience can see everything clearly.
5. Creating emphasis: Zooming in and out can also create emphasis and help you make a point. For example, you can zoom in on a key phrase or image to make it stand out and grab your audience's attention.
