Tips to Use Bitmojis in Google Slides
Here are some tips to enhance your Google Slides with Bitmojis.
Find Bitmojis
Use the search in the Bitmoji extension or the app to find the appropriate avatar. For instance, if you are looking for a standing avatar, type standing or pose. Similarly, for sitting Bitmojis, type sit or read.
Move Bitmoji
Once you have added a Bitmoji to your slide, click on the avatar to select it. Then drag it using your mouse/touchpad (computer) or finger (mobile) to change its position.
Resize Bitmoji
Select the Bitmoji added on your slide. When you see a blue border around the Bitmoji, use any corner box/point to resize the avatar by maintaining the aspect ratio. You can also use other tiny boxes but that will not maintain the balance between your avatar’s height and width.
Change Order of Bitmoji
Sometimes, you will want to use the Bitmoji in front of an object or hide it behind an object. For such cases, you can layer your Bitmoji avatar by sending it backward or bringing it forward. To do so on a computer, select the Bitmoji avatar and then right-click on it. Choose Order. Select the mode of your choice. On mobile, touch and hold the avatar. Tap on the three-dot icon and select Send to back.
Animate Bitmoji
You can add transition effects to your Bitmoji image, which will give it an animated feel. For that, right-click on your avatar and choose Animated. Then choose the animated type of your choice. Find out in detail how to add animations in Google Slides.
Other Formatting Options
Since a Bitmoji is an image, you can perform any image related action on it in Google Slides. You can rotate and crop it or recolor and add other effects. For that, right-click on the image and select Format options on a computer. On mobile, tap once on the avatar. The various image editing options will appear at the bottom. Use them to modify your avatar.
Can You Add Friend’s Bitmoji to Your Slides
Your friends need to share the slide having their Bitmoji with you. Then you can copy and paste the Bitmoji to your own slide or collaborate on the same slide.

For that, you will need to add various images to your Google Slides. To find and add images on PC, open Google Slide and click on Insert > Image > Search the web. Now search for items like a wall, carpets, wood floor, blackboard, etc. Click on the image and hit the Insert button to add it to your slide. For better results, add the word transparent to your keyboard, such as a transparent sofa. Transparent pictures usually do not have a background, so they merge easily with any background.
Share Google Slides
Once you have created a Google Slide with Bitmojis, you can share it with others. On the computer, go to File > Share. On mobile, tap on the three-dot icon at the top of the slide and choose Share and export. You can even share the presentation in a Google Meet meeting.
