Integrating sound into PowerPoint presentations is a surefire way to enhance the dynamism of your speech. Adding applause sound at the beginning and end can further animate the atmosphere. Follow the step-by-step instructions below from SlideMastery.com to learn how to incorporate applause sound into your slides.
To create applause sound in PowerPoint, you need to understand that it's a sound effect linked to a slide motion. This means your slide must have a predefined motion to attach the sound.
To learn how to create motion effects for PowerPoint slides, refer to the following article from SlideMastery.com: Creating Effects in PowerPoint
Once your slide has an animation, you can associate sound with that motion effect.
First, open the Animation ribbon on the toolbar.
Next, select the element with the applied motion effect in the slide and then click on Animation Pane in the Advanced Animation group.
You'll then see a list of motions created for the element in the slide you've just selected.
Right-click on the effect with a timing corresponding to when you want to add applause sound, then select Effect Options from the options list.
The Teeter settings panel will appear; change the Sound line in Enhancements to Applause.
You can adjust the volume of the applause sound using the speaker next to you. Finally, click OK to confirm the settings.
Now you can preview the applause sound in your slide by clicking on the effect line where you've added the applause sound, then press Play From to watch the effect and hear the applause simultaneously.
Alternatively, you can click on the first effect line and then press Play From to review the overall slide motion to see if it syncs with the applause.
