How to record audio on PowerPoint

Adding audio to a PowerPoint presentation can enhance the overall experience for your audience. Audio, such as music or sound effects, can help convey a message, make your presentation more engaging and memorable, and provide context to visual aids. Audio can also be used to break up the flow of your presentation and grab the audience's attention.

Fortunately, PowerPoint has an audio feature, which allows you to either record your voice or insert audio files to PowerPoint. Follow the steps below to record or add audio to PowerPoint:

1. Open the PowerPoint program. Then, open the Insert menu and click on Audio.

2. Record your voice or insert an audio file.

   You can either record your voice in PowerPoint directly or insert external audio files into a PowerPoint.

   • Click on "Record" and start speaking into your microphone.
   • You can also record computer sounds or your voice using Bandicam, and insert the recorded audio file into PowerPoint.
