Adding music to your Microsoft PowerPoint presentation can be a great way to enhance your slides and engage your audience. Whether you\u2019re looking to add a fun, upbeat song to a specific slide or a soft, continuous melody throughout your presentation, PowerPoint offers several options to include audio.<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

Upload a Song from Your Computer<\/h3>\n

The simplest way to add music to your presentation is by uploading a song from your computer. Follow these steps:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Open your PowerPoint presentation<\/strong> and select the slide where you want to add the music.<\/li>\n
  2. Go to the Insert tab<\/strong> on the ribbon and click the drop-down arrow for Audio<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
  3. Choose Audio on My PC<\/strong>, browse for your music file, and select Insert<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
  4. You\u2019ll see an audio icon<\/strong> on the slide. Use the Play button<\/strong> to listen to the song and adjust playback options on the Playback tab<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    \u00a0<\/p>\n

    Download Free Music<\/h3>\n

    If you don\u2019t have a song saved on your computer, you can download free, royalty-free music online. Some resources include:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • Fesliyan Studios Inc.<\/strong>: Offers a variety of genres such as happy, sad, or relaxing. Simply listen and download the song of your choice.<\/li>\n
    • Chosic<\/strong>: Provides a selection of songs suited for presentations, which can be downloaded for free.<\/li>\n
    • SoundCloud<\/strong>: Search for free downloads and choose the one that fits your presentation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      After downloading the song, save it to your device and follow the steps above to upload it to your PowerPoint slideshow.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

      \n

      Record Music While Creating the Slideshow<\/h3>\n

      If you\u2019re musically inclined, you can record your own music directly in PowerPoint:<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Select the slide<\/strong> where you want to add the recording.<\/li>\n
      2. Go to the Insert tab<\/strong> and choose Record Audio<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
      3. In the Record Sound box<\/strong>, click the red Record button<\/strong> to start, and the Stop button<\/strong> when you\u2019re done.<\/li>\n
      4. Listen to your recording using the Play button<\/strong>. If you\u2019re satisfied, click OK<\/strong> to insert it into the slide.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        \u00a0<\/p>\n

        Add an Offscreen Video<\/h3>\n

        If the perfect song is attached to a video, but you don\u2019t want the video visible in your presentation, here\u2019s a workaround:<\/p>\n

          \n
        1. Insert the video<\/strong> onto your slide using the Insert tab<\/strong> and choose Video<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
        2. Drag the video off the slide to one of the sides. This way, the audio will play, but the video won\u2019t be seen during the presentation.<\/li>\n
        3. Adjust the playback options on the Playback tab<\/strong> as needed.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          \u00a0<\/p>\n

          Play the Song or Use it as Background Music<\/h3>\n

          Once your music is added to the slide, you can decide whether it should play on a single slide or across the entire presentation:<\/p>\n

            \n
          1. Select the slide<\/strong> with the music file.<\/li>\n
          2. On the Playback tab<\/strong>, you can choose to play the song on the slide or as background music.<\/li>\n
          3. To play the song only on that slide, choose the Start<\/strong> option under Audio options<\/strong> and select how it should begin (e.g., Automatically or When Clicked On).<\/li>\n
          4. To play the song throughout the presentation, select Play in Background<\/strong>. This will enable the song to play across slides and loop until stopped.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            \u00a0<\/p>\n

            Lastly, customize your playback options such as volume, fade-in or fade-out effects, and rewinding after playing, to ensure the music complements your presentation seamlessly.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
