Access to Google Documents and Slides via Student View

[haarerk]

I am completely new to Canvas and am currently in training with it via a module uploaded by my school district. There is not much information about using Google documents/slides; I do know that these can be uploaded though.

I have uploaded a couple of Google documents/slides into my practice course, and it works (with all of the links) in the teacher's view. However, in the students' view, it says you must be logged in to view this content (see included image). If I use Google slides, docs, etc. in Canvas, does that mean all of my students would need to have a Google account too?
