Join Garrick Chow for an in-depth discussion in this video Play audio in an external application, part of PowerPoint 2016: Audio and Video In Depth.
- [Narrator] There may be times when you'll want an…audio file to play in an external application…rather than in your PowerPoint presentation.…Maybe you want the external players extra features.…Or maybe PowerPoint won't play your file type.…Previously we saw how to get a video clip to…play outside of PowerPoint by using an action button.…And the process works exactly the same way with an…audio file so here's a quick review.…I'm gonna go up to the insert tab and click on shapes.…And at the very bottom you'll find action buttons.…For sounds I might choose the play arrow…or maybe the speaker icon, I'll go with the play button.…
I'll come back to the slide and hold down…the shift key so my button stays square.…And then I'll click and drag out the shape.…When I let go of my mouse, an actions…settings dialogue box opens.…Its says hyperlink two and from this menu,…I'll select other file, I'm gonna choose…Awesome, 20 seconds, its an MP3 file.…I'll click okay and okay again.…And now I'll play the slideshow…and click on the action button.…
