  1. Launch your PowerPoint<\/strong> presentation and ensure you’re in slide view mode.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Navigate to the ‘Insert’ <\/strong>tab in the main toolbar.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Click the ‘Audio’<\/strong> button (it has an audio icon like a speaker or sound wave) to open the drop-down menu.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Select ‘Record Audio,’<\/strong> which opens a small recording window where you can start capturing your narration.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Click the ‘Record’<\/strong> button to capture audio from your microphone in real time.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. To end the recording, click the ‘Stop’<\/strong> button. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  7. If you are satisfied with the recording, click the ‘Insert’<\/strong> button.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Once you’ve completed these steps, a small speaker icon will pop up on your slide, which you can reposition and resize. With this icon, you can customize your playback settings. Just click the speaker icon and select ‘Playback Options.’<\/strong> Then you can adjust settings like start time, playback mode (e.g., automatically or on click), and looping options.
