Create your own audio files

Google Slides does not have a built-it recording option. You will have to use a different tool to record audio files.

  • Online Voice Recorder (web-based, no download required, basic)
  • Audacity (open source/free download, Mac or PC, advanced editing options)
  • Garage Band (Mac/Apple only, advanced editing options)

�Search the Chrome Web Store for other options
