How to Add Music from YouTube to Google Slides

Part 1. How to Download YouTube Music for Google Slides

One effective way to achieve this is by downloading music from YouTube and then incorporating it into your Google Slides.

Using YouTube music directly in your Google Slides presentations can be challenging due to limitations, including the need for an internet connection during your presentation. By downloading YouTube music to MP3 and uploading it to Google Drive, you gain several advantages:

For starters you can offline playback the downloaded YouTube Music audio files during your presentation. At the same time, you have greater control over the music you use. For example, you can choose whether you want the music to play automatically or when clicked. The best part? Google Drive makes it easy to integrate your downloaded YouTube Music into Google Slides presentations. Once you upload the music to your Drive, the music can be used offline forever.
