How To Add Bitmoji to Google Slides
Step 1: Create an Avatar on the Bitmoji Mobile App
As of publication, you can’t create a Bitmoji on the web; you can only do so on the Bitmoji app.
- If you don’t already have the Bitmoji app on your mobile device, download it from the App Store (iOS) or Play Store (Android).
- Once installed, open the app.
- Log in to your Bitmoji account. If you don’t have an account yet, you can create one by following the instructions on the screen. Customize your avatar and click “Save” once you are satisfied with its appearance.
Note: You can only edit your avatar using the app. If you want to modify your Bitmoji’s appearance — do not delete it from your device.
Step 2: Install the Bitmoji Web Extension
While sending your Bitmojis to yourself and downloading them onto your PC is possible, this method can be quite tedious. A more convenient option is to use the official Bitmoji add-on for Chrome, which allows you to directly add your Bitmojis to Google Slides.
- Add the Bitmoji extension to your browser. You can only use Bitmoji on your PC if you’re on Google Chrome.
- Once installed, click on the “Extensions” icon in your browser. From the list of extensions, choose “Bitmoji” and click on it to launch. We recommend clicking the pin icon next to it to add a shortcut to your Chrome toolbar for easier access in the future.
- Select “Get Started” when prompted.
- Log in to your Bitmoji account using the same account details you used when creating your Bitmoji avatar on the mobile app.
- After being redirected to a page that says “You’re Logged In!“, you can close it and proceed to Step 3.
Step 3: Add Bitmoji to Google Slides
Now that you’ve made your avatar and installed the add-on, you may wonder how to put Bitmoji on Google Slides. To do that:
- Open your Google Slides presentation.
- Select the slide where you want to insert the Bitmoji.
- Click on the Bitmoji extension icon in the toolbar to open the Bitmoji menu.
- Choose a Bitmoji from the menu. To speed up your search, type a keyword into the “Search Bitmoji” box. For example, if you want to add a Bitmoji about teaching, type “teach.”
- To add it to Google Slides, you can click and drag the sticker to your slide.
- You can also right-click on your chosen sticker, select “Copy Image,” right-click on your slide, and choose “Paste” (alternatively, press Ctrl + V on Windows or Command + V on Mac).
How To Design a Bitmoji Classroom on Google Slides

- On the toolbar, click on “Background.”

- Select “Google Images.” Search for a suitable background for your Bitmoji classroom. Aim to make it resemble your classroom background so your students feel more immersed in the experience.
- Choose an appropriate photo and select “Insert” to set it as your slide’s background.
- Next, go to “Insert” > “Image” > “Search the Web” on the menu bar.
- On the sidebar, search for images of items you’d usually see in a classroom, such as chalkboards, chairs, and bookshelves. To add an image to your slide, drag and drop it onto the space.
- Wondering how to add your Bitmoji to Google Slides? To add your Bitmoji avatar, click the Bitmoji extension on the Chrome toolbar. Drag and drop the sticker of your choice onto your slide.
- Resize, reorder, and reposition the elements on your slide (try to make it look like a real classroom!)
- Place the text box on your chalkboard by going to “Insert” and then “Text Box” on the menu bar. This is where you can type your slide’s topic(s).
- If you want to use the same Bitmoji classroom layout for the next slides, simply right-click on the slide and select “Duplicate Slide.”
To make your Bitmoji classroom more interactive, you may want to incorporate other multimedia elements (e.g., audio and video).
