How to Put Sound Into a PowerPoint for a Mac

Put Sound into a PowerPoint presentation on a Mac.

Adding sound to a PowerPoint presentation is a great way to customize your PowerPoint. Putting sound into a PowerPoint for a Mac is not any different from putting sound into a PowerPoint on a PC. The PowerPoint interface on a Mac is slightly different, but the commands are still essentially the same.

Instructions

1. Open PowerPoint and load the PowerPoint presentation you would like to put sound into on a Mac.

2. Select the PowerPoint slide you would like to put sound into.

3. Click "Insert," and select "Sound and Music." Then click "From File."

4. Browse to select the sound file you want to put into your PowerPoint presentation.

5. Click "Insert" once you have selected the file. After doing so, PowerPoint will ask if you want the sound to play automatically. Select "Automatically" if you want the sound to automatically play every time you view the slide. Select "When Clicked" if you want to manually control the playback of the sound by clicking the speaker icon (that represents the sound) on the slide.

6. Save your presentation when finished. You have now successfully put sound into a PowerPoint for a Mac.
