Pecha Kucha is a presentation consisting of 20 presentations, and each presentation lasts for 20 seconds. These requirements ensure the Google Slide document is clear, short, and easy to understand. In most cases, PowerPoint is used to create Pecha Kucha presentations. However, Google Slides can also be used in creating Pecha Kucha.
