how can i add background music in my powerpoint?

Answer 1

Sound in a PowerPoint presentation: Only one sound can play at a time. Navigate to the slide where you want it to start. Click Insert, Movies and Sounds. To record narration, select Record Sound. Click the red circle to start recording and the button with the square to stop. To insert music, select “Sound from File” instead of Record Sound. Navigate to your file and click OK.

PowerPoint asks you how you want the sound to play. Select Automatically. A picture of a speaker will appear on the slide. You can drag the sound icon off the slide. The sound will still play, but the icon won’t appear on the slide.

Next, set the sound options. In PowerPoint 2002 or 2003, right-click the speaker. Select Custom Animation. In the Custom Animation task pane, click the sound file name. Then click the arrow at the right of it. Select Effect Options.

On the Effect tab, select when you want the sound to start and stop. You can have it play throughout the entire show. Select After in the “Stop playing” section. Then type 999 in the box. You can also have it stop “On click” or “After current slide.” Click OK.

There is another consideration: Linked versus embedded sound file. If you are going to use the Pack and Go feature to run the Ppt. presentaion on another computer, use the Pack and Go Wizard to put all required files (including the music files) into one file so you can copy the file to a disk.
