Adding audio to presentations

1. Prepare the Audio File. Then upload the converted file to either Google Drive or YouTube.
2. Put audio inside Google Slides. Open Google Slides, go to the Insert menu and choose Video. Here you can either select the file from your Google Drive or switch to the “By URL” tab and paste the link of any public YouTube video.
3. Turn on auto-play mode. Now that your video is embedded in Google Slides, right-click the video and choose Video Options. Check the setting that says “auto-play when presenting.” If you are using synchronized voiceover narration, you may want to change the start and end time of the video as well.
4. Hide the video player. Since you want the audio to play in the background, it may be a good idea to completely hide the video play from the slide. There are two ways to achieve this. You can select the video play, drag the resize handles inwards so that the player size becomes too small to be noticed. An even better option is to place the video player outside the slide area so it’s still part of the slide but won’t show during the presentation.
5. Click the Share button to get the link to your Google Slide presentation. Replace /edit in the URL with /present and you have a direct link to the presentation mode. You take any existing video from YouTube, place it on the slide in invisible mode and then turn on the auto-play mode so that the audio plays as soon as the slide is in focus.
