PowerPoint Tip - How to Run A Single Audio File in the
Background of Multiple Slides
Did you know it that it is Possible to Run an Single Audio file in
the background of all the slides?
This is a very simple PowerPoint Tip. If you want to play a single
audio file in the background of all the slides then here is the tip to
do it.
To insert an audio in to your PowerPoint Slide, go to the PowerPoint
Ribbon Menu on top and click on the "Insert" Tab.
Then Click on the "Audio" Icon you see at the right most end of the
drop down menu.
It shows you two options when you click on it. The first is "Audio on
My PC" and the second option is "Record Audio".
You may either browse your computer and select an audio to insert or
Record an audio running in your PC or may be record your own narration
using your mic.
Once you select the audio file just click on the "Insert" button and
the file gets inserted into the PowerPoint Slide.
Once the audio is inserted into the slide, you will see a audio icon
and a Play bar. Play the audio to see if you want the whole audio or
only a part of it to be inserted.
If you want to play only a part of the audio file, then right click
on the "Speaker" Icon and then select the "Trim" option.
This action will open a trim audio bar with a Green colour start
point and Red colour end point. Drag these bars or handles to where ever
you want the audio to start and end. Now play it and see if you have
trimmed it correctly. Once done, click the OK button.
If you want the audio to play only in this slide, then there is
nothing more to do. But the audio will play only when you click once
after the slide is open in the presentation more.
To make your audio play across all the slides, right click on the
Speaker Icon and Click on the Speaker Icon with a Red gear on it. This
will give you two options.
The first option is "No Style" which is the default you already have.
The second option is "Play in Background". Click this option.
Now when you go to Presentation mode, the audio will start playing
automatically. Even when you go to the next slides, the audio will
continue to play in the background.
Caution here is that if you have embedded two audio files then both
will play. So ensure that you put an audio file or give adequate time
for the first audio to finish before you go to the slide with the second
audio.
I hope these PowerPoint Tips help you to create beautiful and
customised PowerPoint Presentations and save you lot of time.
