Add music to a Live Content Slide

Playing background music helps reduce awkward silence as attendees respond to a poll with a countdown timer.  

Note: Music can only be added to polls with a timer. See Customize the On-Screen Behavior of Polls for information on configuring a timer for polls.

Configure Live Content Slide to use music file

 

Upload a music file

  1. Sign-in to the Admin Panel
  2. Under Advanced Tools, select Slide Music

  3. Drag and drop an .mp3 audio file into the Upload music files box
    Alternatively, click inside the Upload music files box and select the appropriate audio file from the file picker

    Note: The music file should be formatted as an .mp3 and not exceed 3 MiB (3.14MB) in size.

     
    Audio files can be large, but you can stay within the file size limit by using music that matches the length of the countdown timer. For example, if the countdown timer is set to 20 seconds (0:20), the audio file should also be 20 seconds long. This ensures the music plays for the duration of the timer without unnecessarily increasing the file size.

  5. Click the play button in the Preview column to double-check the file
