How do I change the slide size or a slide's background?

Resize a slide with Design › Slide size, and change its background with Design › Format background or Hide background graphics.

Every course has a slide size, such as 16:9 at 1280 × 720. Each slide also has a background you can change.

You choose the course's slide size when you create it with New course, and Course settings › General shows it.
