Add Bookmarks for Audio Clips in PowerPoint 2016 for Windows

PowerPoint 2016 lets you play your audio files from a certain point within the clip using the Bookmark sound in PowerPoint option. Bookmarks in PowerPoint are similar to the conventional bookmarks you place within the pages of a book you read. In the same way that you can easily access a particular page with the help of a bookmark, the Bookmark option within an audio clip becomes an indicator of the position you want to play the clip from.

You can then access that position quickly within the audio clip without having to manually scrub within the Player Controls bar. In addition, you can also combine Bookmarks with Trigger animations so as to trigger a click to play an audio clip precisely from the Bookmark you added.

Audio Styles in PowerPoint 2016 for Windows

When you select an audio clip in PowerPoint 2016, you will see two extra contextual tabs on the Ribbon. One of these tabs is the Audio Tool Playback tab that provides options to configure properties that define how your inserted audio will play: whether it will play automatically, or will it play audio across slides? Let’s assume that you want your audio to play as a background score across multiple slides. Typically you would have to make four separate choices, but PowerPoint 2016’s Audio Styles feature lets you automatically apply these four settings at once!
