Really helpful video. How do you add more than one sound track - say you want two tracks to play one after the other?

Thank you!!! I’m pretty sure you hear this a lot, but you really help people get their important events or projects going. I just started a PowerPoint yesterday as I volunteered to have it ready in a day for a big farewell. You have helped save the slideshow from being silent 😅

Thank you for your video! What if you wanted music to play in the background but wanted to change the music that plays on different slides e.g. changing the mood from sad to happy music etc?

How do you make it so that the music is background sound, not blaring and loud when the video autoplays. How w9upd you fade the music out for some slides, mute it for, say 10 slides, and then bring it back in later in the presentation?
