Contextual Menu for Sound

When the sound icon is selected on the slide, the contextual menu changes to reflect options available for sound.

Options you may wish to change are -

  • volume
  • whether to loop (play continuously) the sound until the end of the presentation
  • hide the sound icon on the slide
  • maximum size of the sound file that can play
  • play automatically, across a specific number of slides or on click
These changes can be made at any time after the sound file has been inserted into the presentation.
