What Is SlideShare
SlideShare is kind of a combination between a social network and an online learning resource. Anyone can create a presentation on the SlideShare website, sometimes referred to as "SlideShare net", while those that make high quality and popular creations, such as comprehensive webinars, can often gain a large following.

How SlideShare Login Works

How to Create a SlideShare New Account
If you select Signup on the main page or Signup for a SlideShare account from the Login page, it will actually prompt you to create a LinkedIn account, not a separate SlideShare account. This is completely intentional, as the creation of new SlideShare accounts are no longer supported for the average user. LinkedIn An option to create a SlideShare account for a company or university is available, however, but all individuals are recommended to use LinkedIn.

Is SlideShare Dead
The SlideShare website and apps are technically all still active, but the service is no longer as popular as it used to be. Nowadays, it’s rarely seen as a primary focus for either individuals or companies with the majority of SlideShare’s most-popular presentations having been created several years ago and the website being used more to drive traffic to paid LinkedIn Learning courses rather than support user-created content.

LinkedIn The SlideShare apps also seem to be on their way out having only been updated once or twice a year since 2016. One of the main reasons for SlideShare’s decline is the success of numerous rival online educational platforms like Lynda, which powers LinkedIn Learning, and Udemy.

Unlike SlideShare, which is mostly restricted to basic free slideshows, these other services feature more multimedia functionality and also allow creators to earn money from their webinars and courses. The increase in usage of cloud storage services, such as Google Drive, OneDrive, and Dropbox, which provide easy solutions for file sharing and viewing, have also likely had an effect on SlideShare user numbers, as has the continued popularity of YouTube, which many educators now use for free education channels, video tutorials, and online marketing.
