How to Add Continuous Music to a Google Slides Presentation

Adding background music to your Google Slides presentation can enhance engagement and set the right tone.
However, Google Slides does not support continuous background music across multiple slides natively. Fortunately, there are workarounds to achieve this effect.
This guide will show you step by step how to add continuous music to your Google Slides presentation.

Step-by-Step Guide to Adding Continuous Music to Google Slides

Step 1: Choose Your Music Source

You can use an online music platform like YouTube.com, Spotify.com, or Google Drive to host your audio.

Highlight the text and click Insert > Link (or press Ctrl + K / Cmd + K on Mac).
Paste the link to your music file (YouTube, Google Drive, or an online audio player) and click Apply.

Step 3: Set the Music to Autoplay (For Google Drive Audio Files)

Under Audio playback, choose Start playing automatically and check Loop audio to ensure continuous playback.

Step 4: Extend Music Across All Slides

To keep the music playing across all slides, you must avoid clicking anywhere on the slide once the music starts.
Instead, use keyboard arrow keys or presenter mode to navigate through the slides without stopping the music.

Step 5: Test Your Presentation

Click Present mode in Google Slides.
Start the music and advance slides to ensure the audio continues without interruption.
