learn the trick behind how to add music to google slides from youtube

Google Slides does allow you to embed YouTube videos, but it doesn't support audio playback from embedded YouTube videos. You can, however, add music or audio to your Google Slides presentation from other sources. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to add music to Google Slides:
Step-by-Step Guide to Adding Music to Google Slides:
Open Your Google Slides Presentation: Start by opening the Google Slides presentation to which you want to add music.

Go to the Slide Where You Want Music: Navigate to the slide in your presentation where you want the music to start playing.
Insert an Audio File: In the top menu, click on "Insert," then select "Audio." You'll have two options:
  • Audio on My PC: Allows you to upload an audio file from your computer.
  • URL: Lets you add audio from a publicly accessible online source. You can use this option to link to a YouTube video containing the music.

Choose Your Music File: If you're uploading a file from your computer, browse your files and select the audio file you want to add. If you're using a URL, paste the URL to the online audio source.

Test Your Audio: While still in the editing view, you can click the "Play" button on the audio icon to ensure it's working as expected.
Save Your Presentation: Once you're satisfied with the placement and settings of the audio, save your presentation to preserve your changes.

Note: Remember that you should have the necessary rights or permissions to use the music in your presentation, especially if you're sharing it with others.
It's a good practice to check Google's official documentation or the latest features in Google Slides for any new audio-related features or integrations with YouTube.
