Finally Sound in Slides
Play music in the background of Google Slides
Created by Scott Aten, March 12, 2019
Getting music to play in the background of Google Slides has been something that has been
difficult to do like we used to be able to do in PowerPoint. In the past I have recommended
teachers and students use the "Audio Player for Slides" add-on. This add-on was a little
clunky and did not really do what we wanted it to do, but was the best option. Recently Pam
Mattiazzo discovered that the add-on was no longer being supported, BUT they had an
extension that did replace it. I have taken a look at this extension and found it to be exactly
what we have been wanting for Slides.
Here is a [short video] demonstrating it in action.
If you would like to schedule a time for me to come and help you setup this extension or assist your class in getting started, please use my scheduler to pick a time.

- You can play sound files (mp3) on one or more slides
- You can play sound files (mp3) as background music
The MP3 file needs to be already saved in your Google Drive, but other than that the
extension runs really well.
