Try this interactive demo to learn how to add background music to PowerPoint.
  1. Open the Insert menu.
  2. Click Audio and select your background music file.
  3. Drag the audio icon where you want it.

📌 Why this matters

Background music transforms static presentations into engaging experiences that hold your audience's attention throughout lengthy slideshows. You can set the perfect tone for product launches, training sessions, or client pitches while covering awkward silence during transitions. Audio also helps reinforce your brand identity when you use consistent musical themes across multiple presentations. Since most presenters rely solely on visuals and speech, adding a subtle soundtrack makes your content memorable and professional, giving you a competitive edge in business settings where standing out matters.
