Want to make your Google Slides presentations pop? Forget static images – let's add some audio! Whether it's background music, a captivating narration, or sound effects to punctuate your points, audio can elevate your slideshow from 'meh' to 'mesmerizing'.
Here's the lowdown on how to add audio to Google Slides:
1. **Upload to Google Drive:** Google Slides can only use audio files already stored in your Google Drive. Make sure your MP3 or WAV file is there.
2. **Insert Audio:** In your slide, go to 'Insert' > 'Audio'. A window will pop up showing your Google Drive files.
3. **Choose Your Sound:** Select the audio file you want to use and click 'Select'.
4. **Customize Playback:** An audio icon will appear on your slide. Click on it to access playback options. You can choose to play automatically when the slide appears, loop the audio, adjust the volume, and even hide the icon during the presentation.
**Important Note:** Ensure your audio file has the correct permissions so that anyone viewing your presentation can hear it. In Google Drive, share the audio file with "Anyone with the link can view".
With these simple steps, you can easily enhance your Google Slides with audio and create truly engaging presentations!
