What is how to add audio to google slides?

Here's how to add audio to your Google Slides presentation:

You can add audio to Google Slides to enhance your presentation with music, narration, sound effects, or other audio elements. There are two main ways to do this:

  1. Insert audio from Google Drive:

    • Upload your audio: First, ensure your audio file is uploaded to your Google%20Drive. Supported audio file types are .mp3 and .wav.
    • Insert audio: In Google Slides, select the slide where you want to add the audio. Go to "Insert" > "Audio".
    • Select from Drive: A window will open, displaying your Google Drive files. Select the audio file you want to insert and click "Select".
    • Audio icon: An audio icon will appear on your slide. You can drag it to reposition it.
  2. Audio playback options:

    • Format audio: When the audio icon is selected, the "Format audio" options will appear on the right side of the screen. Here, you can control:

      • Playback: Options like "Start automatically" (plays when the slide appears), "Play automatically (loop)," and "Stop on slide change." You can also set the volume.
      • Loop audio: If you want the audio to loop continuously, check the "Loop audio" box.
      • Hide icon: You can hide the audio icon during the presentation by checking the "Hide icon when presenting" box.

Keep in mind:

  • Permissions: Make sure the sharing permissions for your audio file in Google Drive are set so that anyone you share the presentation with can access the audio. If the permissions are too restrictive, viewers might not be able to hear the audio.
  • File size: Very large audio files may impact the presentation's performance and loading time.
  • Copyright: Be mindful of copyright issues when using audio in your presentations. Ensure you have the necessary rights or licenses for the audio you use.
