INTRODUCTIONIn addition to including prerecorded sounds on your slides, you can record new sounds to use in a presentation. In order to do this, your computer needs to have a microphone installed on it. |
TIPRecording Sound Effects You can use your computer microphone to record more than your voice. With a little creativity, you can create your own sound effects. |
When you finish recording the sound, click the Stop button. |
To play back the sound, click Play. |
Click OK. |
PowerPoint adds the sound to your slide as a speaker icon. Double-click the speaker icon to play the recorded sound. |
TIPMoving the Icon You MIGHT need to move the speaker icon for the recorded sound so it does not interfere with other slide objects. Click and drag the icon to reposition it on the slide. |
TIPPlaying the Sound During the Show When you run your slide show and reach the slide containing the recorded sound, you must click the speaker icon on the slide to play the recording. See Parts 10 and 12 to learn more about running a slide show. |
