How to use Google Slides with Copilot Studio
You want Google Slides inside Copilot Studio so it can create on-brand presentations from templates, turn presentation requirements into a finished deck, review presentation feedback, and apply approved slide revisions — without you copy-pasting between tabs. Here is the whole setup, once.
Create your Google Slides gateway
The gateway is the thing Copilot Studio connects to, and it is where you decide which Google Slides tools an agent may use. You create it once and every client reuses it.
-
Create an Arcade account
Sign up and open the dashboard. The free tier is enough to follow this through.
-
Create an MCP Gateway and select your Google Slides tools
In the dashboard, create a gateway and pick the Google Slides tools you want to expose. The gateway is what your client connects to, and it is where tool access is decided.
-
Copy your gateway URL
Every client below needs it.
https://api.arcade.dev/mcp/<YOUR-GATEWAY-SLUG>
Connect the gateway to Copilot Studio
Needs a Microsoft 365 subscription with access to Copilot Studio, plus an Arcade API key.
-
Add an MCP tool to your agent
In Copilot Studio, open your agent → Tools → Add a tool → Model Context Protocol → New tool.
-
Point it at your gateway
Give the server a name and description, put your gateway URL in Server URL, set Authentication to OAuth 2.0 and Type to Dynamic discovery.
-
Authorize and try it out
Saving redirects you to Arcade to approve access. Then start a conversation and use your Google Slides tools — Arcade authorizes each service just in time.

Limit access to selected Drive files and require approval before an agent creates or edits a deck or posts comments. Pair it with Contextual Access policies so it can review presentations without making changes.
