How do I share a Google Slides presentation during a hybrid meeting?

Our club does hybrid meetings and I'm not sure how to share my Google Slides while also being on Zoom.

Open and Share a Google Slides Presentation in a Hybrid Meeting Turn on your computer and open Google Chrome. At the top of the screen, go to Google. Look in the upper-right-hand corner of the Google screen. Find the small icon that looks like 9 dots arranged in a square. This is the Google Apps menu. Click the 9 dots. A menu of Google apps will open. Look for Slides. The Slides icon is usually yellow and looks like a small document. Click Slides. Your Google Slides home screen will open. If you already created your presentation, look for the name or picture of your presentation and click it one time. If you need to create a new presentation, click Blank, which has a plus sign (+). Google confirms that selecting New/Blank opens a new presentation. Your presentation will open. Look at the slides on the left side of the screen. Click Slide 1 to make sure you are at the beginning of your presentation. Now open the Zoom official website app on your computer. Join or start your Zoom meeting. At the bottom of the Zoom meeting screen, look for the button that says Share or Share Screen. Click Share Screen. A box will appear showing the windows or screens that are open on your computer. Find the window showing your Google Slides presentation. Click the Google Slides window. If your presentation has music or a video with sound, find the box that says Share sound and click it so a checkmark appears. Zoom says this option shares computer audio with meeting participants. Click the Share button. Your online Zoom participants should now see your Google Slides presentation. Return to your Google Slides presentation. Look in the upper-right-hand corner and find the button that says Slideshow. Click Slideshow. Your presentation will become larger and begin presentation mode. Use the right arrow key → on your keyboard to go to the next slide. Use the left arrow key ← to go back to the previous slide. For your in-person audience, look at the projector or television in the room. Make sure the same presentation is visible on the room screen. Ask two simple questions before beginning: “Can someone online confirm that you can see my slides?” Then ask the room: “Can everyone in the room see the screen?” When your presentation is finished, press the Esc key on your keyboard to leave slideshow mode. Return to Zoom and click Stop Share.
