How to Add Music from Spotify to Google Slides

When it comes to presentation, Microsoft PowerPoint and Google Slides are two of the dominant software in the market. PowerPoint has been the worldwide leading presentation for dozens of years while Google Slides is only created a few years ago.

But Google Slides has some advantages like free of charge and easy accessibility. You don't need to pay for any money to use it freely across all your devices computers, iOS, Windows, Mac, BlackBerry, Chromebook, tablets and so on. All of these features make Google Slides a best alternative to PPT. The only small shortcoming is that it lacks the option to add audio files to it directly.

Fortunately, you can still add music by inserting the link directly or adding a video from Google Drive or YouTube. Here I take Spotify music to illustrate how to add Spotify songs to Google Slides.
