Hide all player UI
Progress bar, buttons, titles, suggested videos and end screens — gone. The audience sees the video, nothing else.
Chrome extension for Google Slides
Your videos.
Your videos.
Presented clean.
TrueSlides Pro strips the YouTube clutter out of your Google Slides decks. No progress bars, no suggested videos, no awkward play buttons — just a crisp, full-quality video that fades in from black and pauses on the final frame. Present like it aired on TV.
Free to use. Launching on the Chrome Web Store soon — links light up the moment they go live.

No build, no account, no tracking
You spent hours on the deck. Then the video loads with a giant thumbnail, a play button, a progress bar, and three “recommended” clips you’d never show a room. TrueSlides Pro makes that disappear.

Everything you need to show a video without flinching
The core kit is built, tested live, and free. One toggle and your whole deck behaves.
✨
Force highest quality
No more 360p surprises on the projector. TrueSlides locks every clip to the best stream the connection allows.
🎬
Fade in from black
Videos ease in from a clean black frame instead of snapping on mid-thumbnail. Smooth fade out, too.
⏸️
Pause on the last frame
The clip ends on its final image — never on a wall of “watch next” thumbnails. Hit → and the slide advances cleanly.
⏳
Pre-buffered playback
The video quietly buffers before it plays, so there’s no stutter or spinner the moment all eyes are on the screen.
🖱️
Click-proof & cursor-free
Stray clicks won’t pause the video, and the mouse pointer auto-hides. Nothing breaks the spell.
Dead simple
Three steps. Zero fiddling.
1
Install & pin it
Add TrueSlides Pro to Chrome. No account, no sign-in, nothing to configure to get started.
2
Open your deck
Build slides in Google Slides exactly like you always do. Drop in YouTube or Drive videos.
3
Present
Hit present. Every video plays broadcast-clean automatically. That’s the whole job.
Off by default outside slideshow mode — TrueSlides stays completely dormant while you’re editing, so it never touches your normal workflow.
If we get enough support
The roadmap is yours to unlock
Here’s what we’re itching to build next. Tap “I’d use this” on the ones you want — the features the community rallies behind get built first. Every donation pushes the whole list forward.
💤Launch pick
Keep-Awake Lock
Talk on one slide for five minutes without the screensaver kicking in. The display stays awake the whole time you present.
🛡️Launch pick
Safe-Click Overlay
Misclick on the video and the slide advances anyway — never an accidental pause that derails your flow.
🖤Planned
True Panic Button
One hotkey drops a pitch-black overlay and instantly mutes the video. The real blackout, audio included.
🔍Planned
Dead-Video Pre-Flight
A “Scan Deck” button checks every video before you go on stage and warns you if one was deleted or set to private.
💥Planned
Smart Volume Normalization
Set one master volume and every clip respects it — no whisper-quiet video followed by an eardrum-busting one.
🎤Planned
Talk-Over Auto-Ducking
Hold a key and the video volume smoothly drops to 10% so you can narrate over it, then fades back up when you let go.
🔄Planned
A–B Section Looping
Pick a start and end time and loop just that moment — perfect for a 3-second golf swing or a chemical reaction on repeat.
⏩Planned
Playback Speed Hotkeys
Running long? Silently nudge a clip to 1.25×, 1.5× or 2× on the fly — no clunky YouTube menus.
🤫Planned
Shush Mode
Enter slideshow and every other Chrome tab mutes instantly — no rogue autoplay ad crashing your presentation.
📹Planned
Zoom-to-Fill
Kill the ugly black letterbox bars — videos gently zoom to perfectly fill their frame on the slide.
🎥Planned
Cinematic Subtitles
Swap YouTube’s blocky black caption boxes for sleek, Netflix-style subtitles with a soft drop shadow.
👻Planned
Invisible Audio-Only Mode
Want just the soundtrack or a soundbite? Hide the player entirely and let the audio play in the background.
🌐Planned
Tab & Favicon Cloaker
Exit fullscreen and the audience sees “Presentation” with a clean red dot — never Q3_Deck_FINAL_v4_copy.
🖼️Planned
Custom Thumbnails
Choose exactly what shows before a video plays — pick any image or a frame from the clip itself.
🪄Big dream
Cinematic Layer Animations
Smooth, professional motion for your slide layers — bouncy entrances and floating effects powered by a real animation engine.

Built by one person who got tired of ugly videos in presentations
TrueSlides Pro is free, has no ads, and tracks nothing. Every YouTube redesign tries to break it and we fix it within days. If it saved your presentation, a small donation keeps the lights on and the roadmap moving — you’re literally voting features into existence.
Donation & Chrome Web Store links are being set up — this section goes live the moment they’re ready.
Good to know
Questions, answered
Does it work with both YouTube and Google Drive videos?
Yes. Both YouTube embeds and Google Drive video files in your slides are cleaned up automatically.
Will it mess with my deck while I’m editing?
No. TrueSlides is completely dormant outside slideshow mode. It only acts when you’re actually presenting, so your editing experience is untouched.
Do I need an account or subscription?
No account, no sign-in, no tracking. The core features are free. Pro features will be a one-time purchase — never a recurring subscription.
YouTube keeps changing things. Will this keep working?
That’s exactly what TrueSlides is engineered for. It’s built to survive YouTube’s player redesigns, with multiple layers of defense and quick patches when something shifts.
How do I get the features on the roadmap?
