Troubleshooting Tips: What to Do If Bitmoji Doesn’t Dance
While making Bitmoji dance in Google Slides is usually smooth sailing, you might encounter a few issues. Here are some common problems and how to fix them:
1. Bitmoji Won’t Paste in Google Slides
If your Bitmoji isn’t pasting into Google Slides, try these steps:
- Ensure that the Bitmoji extension is working properly by clicking on the Bitmoji icon and checking if you can select an image.
- Make sure you are in the correct slide in Google Slides before attempting to paste.
- If all else fails, restart your browser and try again.
2. Animations Aren’t Playing Smoothly
If your Bitmoji animations seem choppy or delayed, you might need to adjust the timing or animation type:
- Choose smoother animations like “Fade In” or “Slide In” for a more fluid effect.
- Adjust the timing of your animations to ensure there’s enough time between each one.
3. Bitmoji Image Doesn’t Appear Correctly
If the Bitmoji image appears pixelated or distorted, make sure you’ve selected a high-quality image from the Bitmoji library. Some images may lose quality if they’re resized too much.
