What is how to add music to google slides?

Adding music to Google Slides isn't directly supported like in PowerPoint. You can't embed an audio file that plays directly within the presentation. However, there are workarounds:

  • Using YouTube Links: The most common method is to link to a song or audio on YouTube. You can insert a video from YouTube (https://www.wikiwhat.page/kavramlar/YouTube%20Link) that contains the music. You can then adjust the video settings to hide the controls and autoplay it during the presentation. The downsides are that it requires an internet connection and there might be ads.

  • Linking to an Online Audio File: You can upload your audio file to a cloud storage service like Google Drive or Dropbox (https://www.wikiwhat.page/kavramlar/Cloud%20Storage). Then, generate a shareable link and insert that link into your Google Slides presentation as a text box or button. When clicked, the link will open a new tab and play the audio. This requires the audience to manually start the music.

  • Using Browser Extensions/Add-ons (Use with Caution): Some browser extensions claim to enable audio embedding. However, these are often unreliable, potentially insecure, and may not work consistently for everyone viewing the presentation. Exercise caution when installing and using such extensions (https://www.wikiwhat.page/kavramlar/Browser%20Extension).

  • Playing Music Separately: The simplest, but least integrated, solution is to play music from a separate device (phone, computer) alongside your presentation. This requires manual synchronization of the music with your slides. You will have to use external player (https://www.wikiwhat.page/kavramlar/External%20Player).

Important Considerations:

  • Copyright: Ensure you have the rights to use any music you incorporate into your presentation, especially if it's for commercial purposes.
  • Internet Connection: YouTube and online audio file methods require a stable internet connection.
  • User Experience: Consider how the music will affect your audience and ensure it enhances, rather than distracts from, your presentation.
