How to Add Apple Music to Google Slides (Step-by-Step Guide)

If you ask me, “What is the best online presentation tool?” I’d say Google Slides. It’s very popular because it works well with other Google services like Drive and Sheets. Unlike PowerPoint or Keynote, Slides runs entirely in the cloud. You don’t need to download or install anything, and it saves your changes automatically. You can also collaborate on the same presentation with other people in real time.

Music is not required for presentations, but it can help. Background music can grab the audience’s attention, make your slides more lively, and help you feel calmer or more confident while presenting.

Can you add music to your Slides? Yes. Apple Music is a great choice because it has over 100 million songs. You can find tracks that match your presentation’s mood or theme, convert the tracks to MP3 files, and use them easily in Google Drive and Google Slides. In this post, we’ll show you how to do it step by step.

Part 1. Add Apple Music Links to Google Slides

You can link Apple Music songs directly in Google Slides. This is the fastest way to add music without downloading anything. Just paste the Apple Music link on text, an image, or a shape. Your audience can click it to play the song in their browser. This works well if you just want to share a track or set a mood, rather than play music automatically.

  1. Open the Apple Music app or go to music.apple.com on your computer.
  2. Find the song, album, or playlist you want to use in your presentation.
  3. Click the More (···) button next to it and choose Copy Link.

Part 2. Convert Apple Music Songs to MP3 for Google Slides Playback

Apple Music songs only play inside Apple apps. To use them in Google Slides, you need to convert them to MP3 or WAV. Tools like ViWizard Apple Music Converter can remove the protection and save your songs as regular audio files. After conversion, your music can play in Slides and other platforms easily.

Platform / Service Supported Formats
Google Drive supported MP3, MPEG, WAV, .ogg, .opus
Google Slides supported MP3, WAV
ViWizard output supported MP3, M4A, M4B, WAV, AIFF, FLAC

Part 3. Upload Converted Apple Music Files to Google Drive

Before adding your Apple Music track to Slides, upload it to Google Drive. Slides can only insert audio stored in Drive. Uploading also keeps your files organized and lets you share them with others. MP3 and WAV files from Apple Music work perfectly in Drive.

  1. Open Google Drive in your browser and sign in.
  2. Click the New button on the left and choose File upload.
  3. Find the MP3 songs you converted and select them.
  4. Wait for the upload to finish. You’ll see a progress bar in the bottom-right corner.
  5. Once done, your songs will appear in My Drive, ready to use in Slides.

Part 4. Insert Apple Music Audio into Google Slides from Google Drive

Once your music is in Drive, you can insert it into your slides. Click Insert > Audio and pick the MP3 or WAV file from Drive. An audio icon will appear on your slide, which you can move or resize. You can also set it to play automatically when presenting. This step adds sound directly to your presentation.

  1. Go to Google Slides and sign in with your Google account.
  2. Open an existing presentation or create a new one.
  3. Go to the slide where you want to add your music.
  4. Click Insert > Audio in the top menu.
  5. google slide insert audio files

  6. Choose My Drive, find your uploaded MP3 file, and select it.
  7. Click Insert in the bottom-right corner.
  8. You’ll see an audio icon on the slide. Move or resize it as needed.

Part 5. Adjust Apple Music Playback Settings in Google Slides

After adding the audio, you can adjust how it plays. In the Format options panel, set when it starts, the volume, and whether it loops. You can also choose if it stops when moving to the next slide. These settings help make your presentation sound just right, whether subtle or more noticeable.

  1. Click the audio icon on your slide.
  2. On the right side, you’ll see the Format options panel.
  3. Under Audio playback, you can set how your song plays:

    google slide audio playback

    • Start playing: Choose On click or Automatically.
    • Volume: Adjust the slider for louder or softer music.
    • Loop audio: Keep the song playing on repeat if desired.
    • Stop on slide change: Choose if the song stops when you move to the next slide.
  4. Click Present at the top-right corner to test how your music plays during the slideshow.

Bottom Line:

Adding Apple Music links is a quick way to add Apple Music to Google Slides, but this requires the stable internet connection and Apple Music subscription. While converting Apple Music and uploading to Google Drive means a lot for future use, and you do not need Apple Music subscription. And you can also use your presentation offline. If you use the first method, you are able to use these Apple Music tracks after canceling Apple Music. This is also a good backup solution. That’s why I prefer to convert Apple Music songs. I am sure no matter which way you choose to enrich your presentation, it will be much more memorable for your audiences.
