On the right-hand side, you will find the function <\/span><b>Audio<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 500;\"> which will let you insert:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 500;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 500;\">Audio from your PC<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 500;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 500;\">Record audio from PowerPoint<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13169 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/slidebazaar.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/1-3.png\" alt=\"How to add audio in PowerPoint\" width=\"266\" height=\"178\" srcset=\"https:\/\/slidebazaar.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/1-3.png 266w, https:\/\/slidebazaar.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/1-3-200x134.png 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 266px) 100vw, 266px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 500;\">To insert audio into PowerPoint from your PC, click on the first option under the Audio function which says &#8211; <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 500;\">Audio on My PC<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 500;\">. This opens the Windows file picker on your PC; browse &amp; click on the audio file and finally, click on the insert button. This is useful when you already have the audio you wish to use ready on your PC.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>How to record audio from PowerPoint?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 500;\">To record audio from PowerPoint, click on the second option under the Audio function which says &#8211; <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 500;\">Record Audio<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 500;\">. This opens a dialog box that will let you record the audio seamlessly with buttons to play, stop, and record. You can straightaway start with naming the audio file and speak to record the audio. Use the Stop and Play options to review your recording. Further, you will be able to re-record by clicking on Record if you aren\u2019t satisfied with the output.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>What should be done once the audio is added to PowerPoint?\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 500;\">Once the music is inserted either by adding audio from your PC or by recording one from PowerPoint, an audio icon will appear on the slide. This icon is movable and hence you can place it wherever you want to. In addition to that, you can make the icon appear appealing by selecting <\/span><b>Audio Format<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 500;\">, which lets you control the brightness and contrast of the icon. It has options to sharpen and soften the icon, apply different colours to it, apply various artistic effects or even set it to a different picture and implement different styles to it.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 500;\">Simply adding the audio on PowerPoint may not be giving you the output that you had in mind. You will see that the audio plays only when you click on the Play button, and the audio gets limited to just the single slide on which you added it. Well, these issues can be resolved. Read on.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>How to make audio play automatically on PowerPoint slides?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 500;\">To make the audio play automatically on PowerPoint slides, click and select the audio icon that\u2019s already placed on the slide.

You can skip a part of long audio in PowerPoint by clicking on the point where the skip action should occur on the audio progress bar. And then selecting <\/span><b>Add Bookmarks <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 500;\">under the <\/span><b>Playback <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 500;\">ribbon will set the bookmark point (and a yellow dot will appear on that point).

How to add Fade-out audio effects on PowerPoint?<\/b><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 500;\">Microsoft PowerPoint has options to fade duration. This means you can avoid abrupt cuts of audio (that is jarring to the listener) by using fading out and fading in effects. The fade-in and fade-out options can be seen under <\/span><b>Fade Duration <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 500;\">from the <\/span><b>Playback <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 500;\">ribbon. There are boxes to set the timestamps where the fading should happen along with it.\u00a0<\/span><b><\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">\n<h3><b>How do I adjust the audio volume in PowerPoint?<\/b><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 500;\">Next to the Fade Duration section under the <\/span><b>Playback <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 500;\">ribbon, you can find the <\/span><b>Volume <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 500;\">function which would let you<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 500;\">set the audio to Low, Medium, High volume, or even Mute it. This function would be helpful in cases where you have slides with videos on the PowerPoint presentation that should be inaudible because of the audio playing at High volume, which is the default setting.\u00a0<\/span><b><\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">\n<h3><b>How to delete audio in PowerPoint?<\/b><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 500;\">Simply click on the audio icon and press delete to remove the audio.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>How to add music from YouTube on PowerPoint?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 500;\">PowerPoint allows you to add music from YouTube and other sites. This can be easily done by first inserting the video into PowerPoint and then working around it. So, how to insert a video from YouTube on PowerPoint? In the <\/span><b>Insert <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 500;\">ribbon, click on <\/span><b>Video<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 500;\">, which opens a drop-down menu. Click on <\/span><b>Online Video <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 500;\">and insert the video by entering the YouTube video URL on the dialog box that appears next. As the video loads on the slide, minimize its size and place it outside the visible part of the slide.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 500;\">Just like the way you set the audio to play automatically, set the video to start automatically using similar settings. Now, you can use the YouTube video\u2019s audio just like any normal audio.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>How do I save an audio file in PowerPoint?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 500;\">At times, you will want to reuse the audio that you created for a PowerPoint presentation in the future. In such cases, you can save the clip as a separate media file. Simply right-click on the audio icon and select <\/span><b>Save Media As. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 500;\">A dialog box will appear further, where you can choose a folder and name the media file. Finally, click <\/span><b>Save <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 500;\">to complete the action.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>What type of music files does PowerPoint support?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 500;\">Microsoft PowerPoint 2010 supports audio files in .wav, .wma formats and the newer versions support .m4a files encoded with AAC audio.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Conclusion<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 500;\">Adding music to your PowerPoint presentation can make a whole lot of difference to the final output.

He creates content and campaigns for SlideBazaar, a global platform that offers PowerPoint templates and tools used by professionals across industries. His work spans newsletters, long-form articles, product messaging, SEO projects, and video scripts. All centered around one goal. Helping people communicate ideas more clearly through better-structured presentations. Instead of treating slides as decoration, Swathi focuses on narrative flow, visual hierarchy, and the logic behind each frame. Born in Kerala and raised in Muscat, he brings a performer\u2019s instinct to his work, shaped by years spent traveling and playing music. That background influences how he thinks about presentations. Not as static documents, but as staged experiences that unfold in time. Today, he writes, teaches, and builds content that helps professionals turn messy ideas into sharp, confident slides that actually hold attention.","sameAs":["https:\/\/slidebazaar.com\/","https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/skpswat","https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/swatkp\/reels\/","https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/swatkp\/"],"honorificPrefix":"Mr","birthDate":"1995-01-02","gender":"male","knowsAbout":["presentations","PowerPoint"],"knowsLanguage":["English","Hindi","Malayalam"],"jobTitle":"Content Specialist","worksFor":"SlideBazaar","url":"https:\/\/slidebazaar.com\/blog\/author\/swathi\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/slidebazaar.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13164","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/slidebazaar.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/slidebazaar.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/slidebazaar.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/15"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/slidebazaar.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=13164"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/slidebazaar.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13164\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":13383,"href":"https:\/\/slidebazaar.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13164\/revisions\/13383"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/slidebazaar.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/13381"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/slidebazaar.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13164"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/slidebazaar.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=13164"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/slidebazaar.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=13164"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
