Video transcript

A header in Google Slides typically refers to static text at the top of each slide, which can include titles, dates, or other recurring information. However, Google Slides doesn't offer a dedicated header feature like Docs. To emulate a header, manually add a text box at the top of each slide or use the 'Slide Master' to place a text box that appears consistently across multiple slides.**
