How to add Background Music for all slides in PowerPoint 

⏭ Here's a playlist of all my videos on PowerPoint: ru-vid.com/group/PLlKpQrBME6xIKFhSxvoRzy5mrewPe1PcM

video starts at 1.45. Thank me later.

I love that you included your family in this tutorial. I have noticed a lot of people needing to know more about this feature so this explains it so well. Well done Kevin. 😊

Thank you, Kevin. As an ordained minister I was not trained in making powerpoint or slideshows... now I have to do it all the time, as my church meets online, due to the pandemic. You make it all seem so easy! I really appreciate your approach, your clarity, and your pace. Many many thanks.

A massive thank you Kevin! I had to produce my first ever presentation, just 10 minutes long, for my history degree and being in my 50's and not really an IT guru, had absolutely no idea how to do any of this. You are a saviour! Thank you so much for taking the time to produce and upload this guide. I now understand how to add the music, but now trying to figure out how to record my voice over the top of the music audio as narration with the music playing in the background still. I had considered just recording individual mp3 files for each piece of my voice narrative and adding in for each slide separately... maybe that will do the trick... wish me luck! 🙂 Thank you again for your help Kevin. This is such a well produced and easy to understand video.

So odd that I used to know how to add audio, but for unknown reasons, I forgot how. You explained this so clearly and you are easy to understand whereas some others go too fast and I'd need to watch the video 4-5 times to get it. I'll sassily my music to the PPT I've done and let you know how it goes. Thank you so much!

Great video! Thank you Kevin for all your efforts and preparing these videos. These are truly very quick, easy and informative. I truly enjoy watching your videos but have learnt a lot :)

Thank you Kevin. This helped me complete my slide show for my wife's parent's 80 birthday/60th wedding anniversary. The music added the finishing touches to my project.

I just wanted to come in here and thank you from my heart for taking the time & efforts and creating such a helpful video on this. I've gone through it and used it in my ppt that I've had to make for a event today and I'm really grateful. ❤️ Thank you thank you thank you ❤️

Outstanding.... pressed for time to get music into a powerpoint, first time ever, and this video walked me through it with ease! Thankyou.

Thank you! This saves my time from exploring it by myself😄😄

Thank you so much Kevin for your amazing work! Now I can actually present my slides with music. Keep it up!!

Hello Kevin, just found out your video today. This is what i am looking for. Thank you from the Philippines.

My class isn’t safe

Your video was so helpful even in 2024. Great Father's day Gift for the old folks whose memory is fading. One "add-on" to this video that would be helpful is how to add multiple songs to 1 extremely long video BUT I see that you answered it in the comments sections. It's Still relevant in 2024!!

Kevin-Great job on explaining how to add and modify audio track into PPT. I need help with adding multiple background music tracks to a "rehearsal dinner" slideshow.

Thank you very much for your videos. after searching for like two hours, I finally came across your video and they were very helpful. You explain it in a very detailed and slow voice which made it easier to follow along.

Wow another amazing tutorial par excellence. Short yet comprehensive and I learned a great deal today. Every ribbon icon was explained beautifully and understood immediately. Well done Kevin ... your on fire ... keep going!

I'm aware this vid is 10 months old but I am so glad I found it! It helped me with my ppt presentation. Thank you!!!

thank you so much for the visual and audio together and making really easy directions to follow I was able to produce a slide presentation for my fathers funeral in hours, your a life saver

Thanks for your clear, concise, professional videos. The fact that you remind well into the video previous instructions makes it easier to follow. Quality is top notch. You're a RU-vid rockstar! Aslo, your kid is really awsome. Congrats!

As usual, great job! Thanks for the tip about that playing in the background feature. Really helpful.

Thank you!!! Your instruction is very clear and you already explained the problem i am experiencing...you are instructing like a teacher!!!

Your video is very simple to understand and full of Complete knowledge.

Trust me mate all the effort you put in making this video paid off , just look at the comment section 0 hate comments but thousands of good supportive comments Thanks a lot support from INDIA : )

can you insert more than one song? I am trying to add a playlist of songs to a picture slideshow so that the slideshow plays over and over until the playlist is done. I can seem to add more than one song and have them play one right after another not linked to the slide timing. HELP!!!!

OG THANK YOU SO MUCHH OUR TEACHER ASSINED US TO MAKE A PRESENTATION OF OUR FAMILY FOR OUR EXAM BUT I DIDNT KNOW HOW TO ADD MUSIC TYSMM FOR POSTING THIS !!!!

The tutorials you share for PowerPoint were quite helpful in learning quickly. Thank you!

Thank you for this. Really a great help for me. 🥰

One of the clearest, easiest to understand tutorials I've ever seen. Is it possible to mute the music on certain slides? If so, that might enhance the value of this terrific video.

Great video Kevin. Very helpful. One tip that I figured out on my own was that adding additional pieces of music is easy. You just keep clicking Add Audio and it will stack one on top of the other in the order you added. BUT... you have to unclick Loop Until Stopped because otherwise it will play the 1st and 2nd together once the 1st is done and then the 1st, 2nd and 3rd together...on and on.

Thank you for this tutorial. I was able to share 84 photos (101MB total) with audio as you instructed, at 0.5 seconds per slide, by saving it as a MP4 file which came out to be 16MB, which is easily sharable in Messenger, Hotmail, and Gmail.

Thank you so much for making this tutorial, I really don't know how to put background music but now I know. This is really helpful for my powerpoint project in school :)

Thanks so much - there were lots that I learned about through your posted video

Thank you this is very informative !! I learnt more than my original intent.

Hello Kevin! 🤗 I cannot even thank you enough for this detailed video! First of all, your Family Vacation Video is just precious! Really enjoyed seeing your photographs! Secondly, I had some terrible issue during Finals in my Tech Core class and I do sincerely appreciate your making this video! I aced my finals with your help in adding the music and following everything that you detailed. I am brand new to technology lol still learning how to type correctly! I am a retired truck driver and truck driver instructor so this techy stuff aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! Altho I passed and I am thrilled, I am having trouble with exporting my presentation to Wix live. It posts but it will not play the presentation. It just shows slide by slide and that is it. 🙁 Fortunately that was not a part of the final grade and I did receive all points in the Rubric.4.0! I am going to look more into your videos and see why this is happening with the export and the presentation not playing. Again Kevin, thank you so very much! Wishing you and your beloved family all of the very best! 🌷 Most Sincerely, 🌼 Kati 🕊

This a great tutorial! Thank you so much for teaching. Will put for fabulous presentations.

Well, this type of video is what I was looking around. Thanks Kevin. :)

Nice tutorial. Is there a way to preview (with music) a long presentation with music playing across slides without starting back at the first slide each time, or where you have the music starting? It gets very time consuming when adjusting length, etc. when you have to keep watching from the beginning.

Thank u! and thank you for sharing your beautiful family with us :)
