If you are having difficulties recording your voice along with your Powerpoint, we suggest recording your voice separately and saving as an audio file. The audio file can then be inserted into the Powerpoint presentation by following these steps:
- Click on the Insert tab and click on Audio button (as shown in picture)
- Click on Audio from File and choose the audio file to insert
- When the audio file has been inserted, a speaker icon
will appear on the slide
- note that initially the audio file will not be inserted into all slides, only the slide you are currently viewing
Preview the audio
-
On the slide, select the audio icon, and then click Play/Pause beneath the audio icon.
Play audio automatically when a slide appears
By default, during a slide show, audio plays when it is clicked. You can change it so that the audio plays automatically as soon as its slide appears.
- In Normal view, select the slide you want and add an audio clip if you haven't already done so.
- On the Audio Format tab, on the right, click Start > Automatically.
Add audio that plays during your entire presentation
- In Normal view, select the first slide in your presentation and add an audio clip if you haven't already done so.
- On the Audio Format tab, on the right, click Play across Slides.
Add audio that plays repeatedly
- In Normal view, select the slide you want and add an audio clip if you haven't already done so.
- On the Audio Format tab, on the right, click Loop Until Stopped.
- (Used alone, this option means the looping sound lasts while the slide it resides on is being shown. When Loop Until Stopped is used in tandem with Play Across Slides, the looping sound continues throughout the presentation.)
Hide the Audio icon
-
Click the audio clip icon.
-
On the PowerPoint ribbon, on the Playback tab, select the Hide During Show check box.
Use this option only if you set the audio clip to play automatically. Note that the audio icon is always visible unless you drag it off the slide.
Once the audio file has been inserted and set correctly, the screen recording can be completed.
While screen recording you should hear the audio file play, and only need to control the transition between slides.
