I have difficulty with setting a standard margins from the left and right side in the Beamer. Any help is appreciated.
This template has been downloaded from:
\documentclass{beamer}
\mode<presentation> {
\usetheme{Madrid}
}
\usepackage{graphicx} % Allows including images
\usepackage{booktabs} % Allows the use of \toprule, \midrule and \bottomrule in tables
\title[Short title]{Full Title of the Talk} % The short title appears at the bottom of every slide, the full title is only on the title page
\author{John Smith} % Your name
\institute[UCLA] % Your institution as it will appear on the bottom of every slide, may be shorthand to save space
{
University of California \\ % Your institution for the title page
\medskip
\textit{john@smith.com} % Your email address
}
\date{\today} % Date, can be changed to a custom date
