Use this interactive demo to learn how to add background music to your Google Slides presentation.

Quick summary

This demo shows you how to insert audio into a Google Slides presentation so music plays automatically during your slideshow. You'll use the Insert menu to pull an audio file from Google Drive and configure it to autoplay on presentation.


Steps

  1. Open your Google Slides presentation and navigate to the slide where you want the music to begin.
  2. Click "Insert" from the top menu bar.
  3. Select "Audio" to pull in your music file directly from Google Drive.
  4. Find and select the audio file you want to use.
  5. Hit "Insert" to drop the audio into your slide.
  6. Click the audio icon, then tweak the format options to make it play automatically when you present.

📌 Why this matters

Adding music to a Google Slides presentation transforms a static deck into an immersive, professional experience that keeps audiences engaged. Google Slides supports audio insertion directly from Google Drive, making it easy to embed background music without third-party tools. Configuring audio to autoplay on presentation ensures seamless playback without manual intervention during live or shared slideshows. This feature is especially valuable for educators, marketers, and event presenters who want polished, self-running presentations with synchronized sound.
