Add Audio to Google Slides

Google Slides provide the most flexibility of any tool in the Google App suite.  Some people call it the Swiss Army knife of Google!  Now you can add audio files!  From the Google Slides top toolbar, select Insert>Audio for any audio file stored in your Google Drive.  Your audio file appears on the slide in the form of a sound icon. Select the icon and  Format options dynamically appear on your menu bar: Click Format options and playback options are now available to you on the right side of  your screen: You can control how the audio file starts playing, its volume, if it should continuously play, or whether to stop or not when the slide changes.   Why would I use this option? If you use Google Slides as your presentation software for your courses, I'm sure you can think of a wealth of ways to incorporate audio into your classroom.  A few I thought of: Add music files to the first slide, so music plays as students enter the room.
