How Can I Add Sounds To My Slides Of PowerPoint?

Well it is very easy to add sound and movies to your Power Point presentations. Open your existing Microsoft Power Point presentation file. Click on Insert button on the top menu bar. A sub menu will open up and hover your mouse over the Sounds and Movies link. You will be provided with a list of options to add a movie or a file to your presentation.

To add a sound file click on Sound from File link and browse the file from your computer. An alert popup stating that "How would you want the sound to start in the slides?" will appear. If you choose the "Automatically" option then the sound will start as the slides will open up and if you select the option "On click" then the sound will be played when you click on the slide.

If you want to add a movie to your slides then all the procedure is same just click on Movie from File link instead of Sound from File link. One important thing is that keep your presentation and the sound or movie files, all in the same directory.

You can also record your own voice on the presentation by using Record Sound option. Click on Record sound and click start on the popup menu that will appear. Note that you would require a mic to record your voice and then can playback your own recording in the presentation.
