Last year I wrote quite a few blog posts about a Chrome extension called Mote that lets you record and add audio to almost anything in Google Workspace. As great as that extension is, it’s not for everyone. In fact, earlier this week I got an email from a reader who was looking for some help adding audio to Google Slides without the use of a Chrome extension (her school won’t allow them to use Mote).
Helping that person earlier this week inspired me to create a new video that addresses the three mistakes that I most often see when people are adding audio to Google Slides. Watch the video to see what they are and how to avoid them.
In the video above I explain the following mistakes and how to avoid them:
- Trying to find a direct record or upload option in Slides.
- Not changing the default settings.
- Not sharing the audio file with collaborators or viewers.
