00:00:11.430 --> 00:00:13.520
I'm working on a Trivia Night slide show for
a

00:00:13.520 --> 00:00:15.190
local restaurant,

00:00:15.190 --> 00:00:17.480
and I want it to be as exciting as possible,

00:00:17.480 --> 00:00:20.930
so people will want to keep coming back
to trivia night every week.

00:00:20.930 --> 00:00:24.630
I want to spice it up a little bit by adding
background music,

00:00:24.630 --> 00:00:28.140
sound effects, and other sounds
to some of the slides.

00:00:28.140 --> 00:00:31.250
On the first slide, I'd like to add some intro
music.

00:00:31.250 --> 00:00:37.770
To get started, go to the Insert tab
and click the Audio drop-down arrow.

00:00:37.770 --> 00:00:41.200
There are three different ways to insert audio.

00:00:41.200 --> 00:00:47.070
For this one, I want to use one of the built-in
audio files, so I'll go to Clip Art Audio.

00:00:47.070 --> 00:00:49.899
Here, you can type your search terms.

00:00:49.899 --> 00:00:53.170
I'm looking for something groovy.

00:00:53.170 --> 00:00:55.520
And then click Go.

00:00:55.520 --> 00:00:58.780
There are a few different ones to choose from.

00:00:58.780 --> 00:01:01.520
If you want to preview the file, you can
click the drop-down arrow

00:01:01.520 --> 00:01:04.250
and go to Preview/Properties,

00:01:04.250 --> 00:01:05.810
but I know this is the file I want,

00:01:05.810 --> 00:01:09.080
so I'll just click on it to add it to the
slide.

00:01:09.080 --> 00:01:13.270
And it may take a few seconds.

00:01:13.270 --> 00:01:21.550
Once it's there, you can listen to it by
clicking the Play button,

00:01:21.550 --> 00:01:23.070
and if you want to jump to a different part
of

00:01:23.070 --> 00:01:26.760
the song, just click anywhere on this timeline.

00:01:26.760 --> 00:01:34.000
You can change the volume by going to the
speaker icon on the right.

00:01:34.000 --> 00:01:36.750
I'm done with the Clip Art for now, so I'll
close

00:01:36.750 --> 00:01:39.940
this.

00:01:39.940 --> 00:01:41.900
One of the questions will include a song that
the

00:01:41.900 --> 00:01:44.080
participants will need to listen to,

00:01:44.080 --> 00:01:47.140
so I'm going to insert an audio file
into that slide.

00:01:47.140 --> 00:01:53.400
Go back to the Insert tab, and go to the Audio
drop-down arrow,

00:01:53.400 --> 00:01:55.900
and select Audio from File.

00:01:55.900 --> 00:02:00.710
You'll use this option whenever you have a
file on your computer, like an mp3.

00:02:00.710 --> 00:02:06.560
Then, find your file

00:02:06.560 --> 00:02:11.440
and click Insert.

00:02:11.440 --> 00:02:13.860
I'm going to move it over here so it's easier
to

00:02:13.860 --> 00:02:16.200
see.

00:02:16.200 --> 00:02:19.440
There is one more way to insert audio, and
that is

00:02:19.440 --> 00:02:23.100
by recording it.

00:02:23.100 --> 00:02:27.609
Go down to Record Audio.

00:02:27.609 --> 00:02:29.770
This will only work if you have a microphone
that

00:02:29.770 --> 00:02:31.870
works with your computer,

00:02:31.870 --> 00:02:35.840
and some computers even have
built-in microphones.

00:02:35.840 --> 00:02:39.209
When you're ready to record,
click the Record button,

00:02:39.209 --> 00:02:41.150
and when you're finished,
click the Stop button.

00:02:41.150 --> 00:02:47.440
And I'm just going to record a short phrase.

00:02:47.440 --> 00:02:49.470
And the answer is.

00:02:49.470 --> 00:03:01.549
Okay, I've recorded my phrase, and now I will
click the Play button to preview it.

00:03:01.549 --> 00:03:06.579
When you're done, you can give it a name,

00:03:06.579 --> 00:03:09.090
and then click OK,

00:03:09.090 --> 00:03:11.900
and it will be added to the slide.

00:03:11.900 --> 00:03:15.580
So that's how you insert audio into
your PowerPoint presentations,

00:03:15.580 --> 00:03:18.480
and in the next video we're going to
talk about editing it,

00:03:18.480 --> 00:03:43.930
adding fade ins and fade outs,
and adjusting the other playback options.
