How to Insert Music from Spotify to PowerPoint [Latest Guide]

Part 1. Why Can't You Add Music to PowerPoint from Spotify Directly?

Spotify's music files are protected by Digital Rights Management (DRM), preventing their direct insertion into PowerPoint presentations. This limitation applies to both free and premium Spotify accounts, potentially frustrating users who wish to enhance their presentations with favorite Spotify tracks.

To incorporate Spotify music into PowerPoint, you must first convert the protected tracks into a compatible format, such as MP3. Once converted, you can insert the audio into your PowerPoint slides. In the following section, we'll explore how to convert Spotify music into PowerPoint-compatible formats.

Part 3. How to Embed Spotify Playlist into PowerPoint with Converted Files

After downloading Spotify songs to your computer as local files, you can play them offline anywhere without data loss. Now, let's explore how to link Spotify music to PowerPoint. Follow these steps to embed music from Spotify into your presentation:

Step 1. Open the PowerPoint program by double-clicking the tool icon.

Step 2. Press the Insert menu and select 'Audio' from the Media module.

Step 3. Choose 'Audio on My PC'. Navigate the folders and choose the Spotify songs from your computer.

When you've picked the song, a speaker icon will appear on your PowerPoint slide.

How to Control Spotify Playback in PowerPoint

After adding Spotify music to your PowerPoint presentation, you can control how and when the music plays by using the "Playback" tab, as shown in the image above. Here are some of the key controls available:

Step 1. Start Options: You can choose how the music starts by selecting either "On Click" (music starts when you click the audio icon) or "Automatically" (music starts as soon as you move to the slide).

Step 2. Play Across Slides: Check this box if you want the music to continue playing across multiple slides, rather than stopping at the end of the current slide.

Step 3. Loop Until Stopped: If you want the music to keep repeating throughout the presentation, select the "Loop until Stopped" option. This is useful for long presentations where you want background music to play continuously.

Step 4. Fade In/Fade Out: You can adjust the fade duration for both the start and end of the audio. This ensures a smooth transition and prevents abrupt starts or stops in the music.

Step 5. Volume Adjustment: Use the volume slider to adjust the music's volume so that it complements rather than overpowers your presentation. You can also choose to mute the audio if needed.

Step 6. Play in Background: Selecting "Play in Background" will ensure that the music plays as a subtle background element, starting automatically and continuing across all slides.

Part 4. Alternative Method: Insert Spotify Songs into PowerPoint through Hyperlinks

If you don't want to convert the music, there is an alternative. You can add a hyperlink to the Spotify track directly in your PowerPoint. To do this, follow these steps:

Step 1. Open the PowerPoint file and navigate to the slide where you want to add the link to the Spotify track.

Step 3. Go to the "Insert" tab and click on "Text Box" or "Shape" to create an element that will serve as the hyperlink. Type in a label such as "Play Spotify Song" or add a descriptive label for the music track.

Step 4. Highlight the text or click on the shape that you created. Then, go to the "Insert" tab and click on "Link" (or "Hyperlink" in older versions). A dialog box will appear.

Step 5. Enter the Spotify Link: In the dialog box, paste the URL of the Spotify track, playlist, or album that you want to link to. Click "OK" to apply the hyperlink.

Then to play this Spotify music during presentation, just click on the text or shape you've attached the hyperlink, and it will open the Spotify app and starts playing the track.
