Google Slides is a great tool for quickly creating presentations and sharing them online. If you want to spice up your presentations and make them a little more interesting, knowing how to record audio in Google Slides can make the process a lot easier.
If you’re looking for a way to automatically play an audio file for a specific slide, you may have noticed that Google Slides doesn’t have a built-in quick record option. But with the right online tools, you can still quickly put one together to help with demos, voice effects, description sounds, and more. That is how.
How do you record your voice on Google Slides?
If you’ve never used Slides before, you can visit this website to get started quickly. Select an empty slide to start a new slideshow, or go to another slideshow shared with you on Google Drive. When you’ve reached the slide that needs a sound effect, you’re ready to go.
Step 1 – Presentations don’t have a built-in audio recorder, but that’s not much of a concern when the internet is full of free recording tools. As long as you have a microphone, you can create an audio file to use in Presentations.
If it’s a one-off audio recording for a presentation, we suggest using the super-fast Rev online voice recorder, where you simply choose Record, give the site permission and start talking. If you’re going to be creating a lot of audio files over time, you might want to install Hablacloud’s ChromeMP3 Recorder extension.
If you’re not recording something but are using an existing clip, make sure it’s in a common format like MP3.
Step 2 – To upload an audio file to Google Drive, sign in to Drive, select Newand select file transfer. Locate the audio file on local storage, usually on the recent downloadsand select it. Google automatically uploads it to Drive.
Step 3: Select on the slide that you want to add sound Insertthen select Audio in the drop down menu.
Step 4: In a new window you will see all the audio files that you currently have in Drive. If you haven’t deleted files from Drive in a while, you may need to use Recently or search tools to help you find it. When you find it, select the file and then choose.
Step 5 – You will now get a little icon on the slide letting you know there is an audio file and a new menu on the right with your audio playback options
Spend some time in the audio menu to make sure the sound plays correctly. You can choose to play with one click or auto play and adjust the volume while the sound is playing. You also have the option to choose to repeat the sound if you want and whether or not you want the sound to stop when you move to the next slide.
Step 6 – With the settings configured, your slide should now be able to play audio as you intended. You can repeat this process for any slide that needs sound in your presentation.
