Upload or play background music during presentation
Sarwat Ghalib
I would like to give feedback to Gamma.app that you should have a function for background music during presentations. When giving a presentation, one should be able to add background noise or music playing in the background. You should be able to upload your own music or choose from already provided background sounds and music from Gamma. It should also be possible to adjust the volume and choose on which slides the music will be played and at what time in the music.
I'm a UX designer and we already have a lot of presentation apps on the market, but I think this would make Gamma the obvious app for everyone if you implemented it! Thank you very much.

Subir audio que se reproduzca en el fondo de la presentación.

Para que las presentaciones sean más inmersivas, se podría tener una opción para que se reproduzca un audio de background y si es el caso, que se silencie si hay una diapositiva con contenido audiovisual adicional.

creative.lead@iamwarkot.com buena idea — música/ambiente de fondo puede subir mucho la “inmersión” de una presentación.
Para pasárselo bien claro al equipo: ¿estás pensando en que el audio se suba al deck y se reproduzca automáticamente en todas las diapositivas, o que sea opcional (play/pause) para quien lo ve? Y cuando dices que se silencie con contenido audiovisual, ¿te refieres a cualquier video/audio embebido, o solo en diapositivas específicas que marques? Si tienes un ejemplo de otra herramienta que lo haga bien, o un Loom rápido mostrando el flujo ideal, sería oro.

Ljud som spelas i bakgrunden medans man presenterar

Skapa en funktion där man kan lägga till ljud som kan spelas i bakgrunden medans man presenterar, man ska kunna justera volymen och ännu häftigare ifall man kunde också lägga ljud vid specifika kort eller under hela presentationen.

Hey Sarwat. Can you give an example of when you'd want background music for a presentation? Like the type of presentation you would be giving?

Nik Payne (Gamma design) Hi Nik,
Thank you for getting back to me. As a UX designer, I regularly host workshops and presentations where I introduce new ideas and concepts. Having the option to add background music would significantly elevate the experience. It allows the presenter to shape the atmosphere and guide the participants’ emotional state, whether the goal is to create calm focus or build excitement.
A simple version of the feature could allow users to apply a background track to the entire presentation, with full control over volume. A more advanced option would be the ability to add audio to specific slides, so that a transition sound or a new track plays automatically when moving between slides.
There are many presentation tools on the market, and some offer limited audio features, but none combine that functionality with the strengths and usability of Gamma. For example, Prezi.com allows users to add audio to an entire presentation or to specific slides. However, the rest of the interface is not nearly as intuitive or user friendly as Gamma, which makes the audio feature less effective in practice. Adding sound would take Gamma to a completely new level and create a truly complete presentation tool.
I hope this clarifies my objective.
Thank you again.
