Google Slides is a powerful tool that allows users to create visually appealing presentations. While slides can be effective on their own, adding audio can take your presentation to the next level. In this article, we will guide you through the steps to add audio to your Google Slides.

Step 1: Open Your Google Slides Presentation

To add audio to your presentation, you must first have a Google Slides presentation open. If you don’t have one yet, you can create a new presentation by going to your Google Drive and clicking on the “New” button, then selecting “Google Slides.”

Step 2: Insert Audio File

Next, you need to insert the audio file you want to use. To do this, click on “Insert” in the top menu, then select “Audio.” A drop-down menu will appear, giving you the option to “Upload from computer” or “Google Drive.” Select the appropriate option and choose the audio file you want to use.

Step 3: Adjust Audio Settings

Once you have inserted your audio file, you can adjust the settings to fit your needs. To do this, click on the audio file and select the “Format options” button that appears. This will give you access to the audio settings.

In the “Format options” menu, you can adjust the playback options, such as starting and stopping the audio at specific times. You can also adjust the volume, add a fade-in or fade-out effect, and choose whether the audio plays automatically or when clicked.

Step 4: Play Audio in Presentation Mode

Once you have adjusted the audio settings to your liking, you can play the audio in presentation mode. To do this, click on the “Present” button in the top right corner of your screen. When you reach the slide with the audio, it will play automatically according to the settings you chose.

Conclusion

Adding audio to your Google Slides presentation can make it more engaging and memorable for your audience. By following these simple steps, you can easily add audio to your presentation and customize it to fit your needs. Give it a try and see how it enhances your next presentation!
