With the Audio component in the new lesson editor, you can easily add sound to your lesson from spoken explanations and sound effects that make your lesson more engaging.
Adding audio
Open a lesson in the new lesson editor and click Audio in the top toolbar.
You’ll find it alongside other components such as Text, Image, and Video.Choose how you’d like to add your audio file:
Upload audio file – select a file from your computer (for example, an mp3 or wav file).
My uploads – choose an audio file you’ve uploaded previously.
Record audio – record a new sound clip directly using your microphone.
Link to audio – paste a URL to an audio file that’s hosted online.
While the file is uploading, you’ll see a progress bar. Once it’s finished, an audio icon will appear on your slide as a hotspot.
