Volume control and Windows Media

[Cheril]

This may be a question for Windows Media Player as much as for PowerPoint.

Is there a way of Inserting the Windows Media Mini-player toolbar into
PowerPoint slides. It would give fantastic control over live presentations.

First, you will need the control toolbox to be displayed.
Click View > Toolbars > Control Toolbox.
On the toolbar, click on the last icon which should be "More Controls".
Scroll right to the bottom and select Windows Media Player.

Now, you will be able to insert the player at any of the slides.
To do so, you can either click on the slide, or click and drag to a
preferred size.
A properties screen should appear. If it doesn't, right click on the player,
select properties.
Under (Custom), click on the empty field which then displays a three dots
button. Click on the button. Now, you will be able to select the file name or
url.

Thank you for your prompt help. I got the controls in alright, but they don't
seem to work. Have you any further suggestions about this?

Not very familiar with live videos. You probably want to give Plays For
Certain a try. It allows you to play live video in PowerPoint. (

See if others have better suggestions for the controls.

Thank you tohlz. I want to play music behind a live Narration. But I want the
music to thread in and out, and that requires volume control.

Probably the path is too long. Create a new folder. Move the ppt and music to
the folder.
Open the ppt and re-insert the music. See if it works now.
