The add-on opens a sidebar in Google Slides with the QR codes of your QR Manager account.
Open the add-on
- Install QR Manager from the Google Workspace Marketplace (Extensions → Add-ons → Get add-ons in Slides).
- In a presentation, choose Extensions → QR Manager → Open QR Manager.
- Click Connect my account. A page opens with a pairing code: sign in to QR Manager (a free account works), check that the code is the same, and allow Google Slides.
Insert a QR code
Click + on a code: it is added in the middle of the current slide, ready to move and resize. New creates a code from the sidebar and inserts it.
Keep presentations up to date
The add-on finds the QR Manager codes in your presentation. When one’s style changes in QR Manager, it offers to update it: the new image replaces the old one in place, everywhere it appears.
Frequently asked questions
What can the Google Slides add-on access?
Only the presentation it is opened in, and its sidebar. It has no access to your Drive or your other files.
Why does adding a QR code fail with several Google accounts signed in?
Google Workspace add-ons can lose access when several Google accounts are signed in in the same browser. Open the presentation in a window signed in to one account only, such as a private window or a separate Chrome profile.
