How to Play Music/Video with Full Control in PowerPoint 2010

Posted on 19:15 by Unknown

Someone asked this question on Yahoo Answer that how to add music in PowerPoint and he can click to play, pause, stop as he want.

Usually when we insert a song into PowerPoint slide, we will set it play “Automatically”, this way, the song is set as background music. Like the question said, what if we want to full control the music playing process?

There is an amazing method – using “Developer” function in PowerPoint. If you’re using PowerPoint 2007, you can read it here. (The blog post is talking about embed video using Developer.)

Here we will use PowerPoint 2010 as example and insert music using Developer for full control.

How to Play Music  with Full Control in PowerPoint 2010

Step 1: Add “Developer” to your ribbon. This function is hidden by default. Right click anywhere on the ribbon and choose “Customize the Ribbon”.

Note: You can also get there by File > Options > Customize the Ribbon.

Step 2: Now you will see the “Developer” tab on the ribbon. In the “Controls” group, click the “More Controls” button.

In the pop up window, fill the path of the music on your computer (e.g. E:\Music\You Drive Me Crazy.mp3) in the “URL” column. Close the window.
