PowerPoint 2016 (PC) 32 bit, Account Version : 1704 Build 8067.2115 Click-to-Run, About Version. The animation pane is set to play each of the narration audio file automatically, After Previous, without a delay and are the first effect in the animation sequence.Īfter more testing, I found that the audio did play sometimes but mostly did not so it's even intermittent! What is going on? Or, I can use Shift+F5 to start on a specific slide, go back one slide then forward one slide and the audio then plays. add movie, wmv, embed and play videos in powerpoint, powerpoint video. The audio will not play when using Shift+F5 to start the slide show on a specific narrated slide. Using PowerPoints Video Tools tab, you can edit the video in a number of ways. Then play the video or audio to see whether the problem is solved. Select the option and optimize videos, audio and other media files in the PowerPoint.

#POWERPOINT FOR MAC CANNOT PLAY MEDIA WINDOWS#
I have also tried embedding Windows Media Play but it does not run at all. If there are some media files incompatible with the PowerPoint version you’re using, the Compatibility Mode option will appear. I have tried linking and embedding the videos. The videos will not play in the viewer (Powerpoint Viewer 2010). Now the even weirder thing is that these audio files play perfectly fine when in edit mode (out of slide show mode) and, they play ok when starting the slide show on a different slide and then transitioning to the slide in question (checked with several narrated slides). I have created a presentation that has been saved as a slide show. All audio narrations (recorded in a studio and output to MP3 format) are set to be hidden during the slide show so I unhid one and looked to see what was happening during the slide show:

I just opened a narrated project I successfully completed a few months ago and when starting the slide show on a specific slide, the audio narration is silent.
