[Music]
I'm working on a trivia night slideshow
for a local restaurant and I want it to
be as exciting as possible so people
will want to keep coming back to trivia
night every week I want to spice it up a
little bit by adding background music
sound effects and other sounds to some
of the slides on the first slide I'd
like to add some intro music to get
started go to the insert tab and click
the audio drop down arrow there are
three different ways to insert audio for
this one I want to use one of the
built-in audio files so I'll go to clip
art audio here you can type your search
terms and I'm looking for something
groovy and then click go
there are a few different ones to choose
from and if you want to preview the file
you can click the drop down arrow and go
to preview properties but I know this is
the file I want so I'll just click on it
to add it to the slide and it may take a
few seconds
and once it's there you can listen to it
by clicking the play button and if you
want to jump to a different part of the
song just click anywhere on this
timeline and you can change the volume
by going to the speaker icon on the
right
I'm done with the clipart for now so
I'll close this
one of the questions will include a song
that the participants will need to
listen to so I'm going to insert an
audio file into that slide go back to
the insert tab and go to the audio drop
down arrow and select audio from file
and you'll use this option whenever you
have a file on your computer like an mp3
then find your file
and click insert
and I'm going to move it over here so
it's easier to see
there is one more way to insert audio
and that is by recording it
to record audio
and this will only work if you have a
microphone that works with your computer
and some computers even have built-in
microphones when you're ready to record
click the record button and when you're
finished click the stop button and I'm
just going to record a short phrase
the answer is
okay I've recorded my phrase and now I
will click the play button to preview it
and the answer is
and when you're done you can give it a
name
and then click okay
and it will be added to the slide so
that's how you insert audio into your
PowerPoint presentations and in the next
video we're going to talk about editing
it adding fade-ins and fade-outs and
adjusting the other playback options
