Audio can be used in a presentation to set the mood. It adds to the atmosphere of the room and may help your audience understand the presentation better.
You can use music for presentations that feature a certain event. Maybe a birthday surprise or the launch of a new product. Adding sound to PowerPoint is very easy. Please read and follow these instructions to insert music into your presentations with ease.
What Audio File Formats To Use?
Even though .MP3 audio files are more common, PowerPoint works a lot better with .WAV audio files. Some audio functions of PowerPoint may allow .MP3 files but not all of them. That is why it is recommended that you convert your audio files to .WAV before using them in PowerPoint.
You can convert .MP3 files (and other audio files) to .WAV files using Audio.Online-Convert.com
You can also convert .MP3 files to .MP3 format by installing and using the free audio editor Audacity
