Things You'll Need:
- Microsoft Power Point Software
-
Step 1
First open the file which holds your presentation. When you have the presentation opened in front of you click on the first slide. Go to the icon “insert” and scroll down to the words “movies and sounds”. At this point you will have a choice to add a sound from clip organizer or from file. The clip organizer holds pre recorded sounds recorded onto the power point presentation software. If you choose file you will have to make sure you have music downloaded to your computer first.
-
Step 2
Click on the sound that is desired and a box will pop up with a question. “Do you want the sound to start in the slide show automatically or when clicked? Usually if you are using sound you are using it throughout the whole presentation so you would click “automatically” but their may be times when you prefer to set it up so it plays “when clicked”.
-
Step 3
After the sound is applied to the slide, right click on the sound icon. Then click on the words “custom animation”. At the right will be a box. At the top of this box, under “modify play”, click “with previous”.
-
Step 4
To have the sound continuously play throughout all screens, right click on the sound listed in this box and arrow down to “effects option”. This is how you will let power point know, after how many slides should the program stop playing the sound.
-
Step 5
Now, preview your slide show. Click on slide show and then view to make sure your sound is playing the way you want it to throughout your presentation. These are the basic steps to add music to your power point presentation. Be creative and have fun!
