PowerPoint Stop Background Music Playing on Certain Slide

Stop background music playing on a certain slide in PowerPoint. In this video tutorial, I want to stop my back music from playing when my video on slide 3 plays.

Fortunately, you do get some control over when music both starts and stops in a presentation.

In this video, the background music is set to stop after a specified number of slides so that it does not clash with the video's audio.

Hi, if you're wondering why your background music won't fade after setting it to the number of the slide where you wanted it to stop. Please start counting the slides from where your music is inserted upto the slide where you want it to stop.

For instance, you inserted the music in slide 4 and you want to end it in slide 10. Don't base the counting on the # of the slide, hence, start counting slide 4 as #1. So, basically, you will put #7 in the stop playing option. :)


Hope this helps! <3

I've been looking everywhere for how to do JUST THIS! Thanks, this REALLY helped out just in the nick of time!

Finally something helpful! Now THAT´s what I was looking for! Thanks man!!

[PaulKalburgi]

Brilliant! Thanks!! This was driving me crazy. Feels like the stop settings should just be at the top bar in the 'playback' settings.

Hello, is there a way for the audio to continue after I've stopped it on this certain slide? Since the slide isn't the last one.

I can't tell you how helpful this was!!! I needed to do exactly this for my daughter's Zoom birthday party, and I had resigned myself to splitting the PowerPoint into separate documents to make the sound stop! You've helped us SO MUCH!!! Now it will be seamless and much easier to manage everything. :)

Thank you so much!!! Happy 2021!!!

Liked! Subscribed!

Thank you for the explanation. Is there any way to fade out the sound on the slide where we want the music end?

Thank You! I wanted to play a video on mute at the same time as an audio. But the video wasn't playing automatically at the same time as the audio. I used the "play across slides" options but I wanted to play only on that slide (the one with the video and audio). So, I followed your tutorial and set it to stop after one slide and it worked!

This video was simple and perfectly solved my problem! Thank you so much for posting this!!! 😊

[colinhusbands]

Thanks. Very helpful. All I wanted to do was remove the background audio playing across all slides. Your tips led me to the right place: Animation Pane.
