Professional PowerPoint music and background music loops for your PowerPoint presentations. As a presenter or creator of presentations, there is simply no greater means of grabbing audience attention, changing mood and focus than through the strategic use of music.
On the Insert tab, select Audio, and then Audio on My PC.
In the file explorer, locate the music file you want to use and then select Insert.

However, if you find that you're having trouble synchronizing the music with the slide show, you can use a third-party audio editing tool, such as Audacity®, to string the songs together into one file so they play continuously throughout the slide show.
