Google wants to improve slide creation by adding a “follow” feature that allows you to quickly navigate to any slide that another person has created.
If you tap someone else’s avatars in the Google Slides toolbar, you’ll be able to follow their navigation and see any changes they make to a presentation.
“To follow a collaborator, click their avatar in the Slides toolbar. If you hover over a followed avatar, a ‘Following’ badge will appear. To stop following a collaborator, click on their avatar again,”

Does it give you Admin Control?
It has no administrative controls and will be enabled by default.
How to Stop Following
When you hover over the image in the filmstrip, a small badge appears next to it. If you want to stop following them, just hover over the badge and it will go away.
When will Google Slides Stop?
Google Slides will also stop if:
- The collaborator updates or leaves the presentation.
- You edit the slides for the presentation.
- You click a different slide.
- You start slideshow mode.
