Use this interactive demo to learn how to play embedded audio in a PowerPoint presentation.

Quick summary

This demo shows you how to listen to audio embedded in a Microsoft PowerPoint presentation by locating the audio icon on a slide and using the built-in Play button to start playback.


Steps

  1. Open your presentation in Microsoft PowerPoint.
  2. Navigate to the slide that contains the audio you want to hear.
  3. Click the audio icon (speaker symbol) on the slide to select it.
  4. Click Play to start audio playback.

📌 Why this matters

Microsoft PowerPoint supports embedded audio, allowing presenters to enrich slides with narration, music, or sound effects. Knowing how to locate and play the audio icon ensures you never miss spoken content during self-paced review or collaborative walkthroughs. This feature is essential for educators, trainers, and business professionals who rely on recorded commentary to complement visual slides. Mastering PowerPoint audio playback helps teams deliver richer, more accessible presentations without needing third-party tools.
