Adding Background Music to your Visme Project

Background music can elevate your Visme project by setting the tone and enhancing engagement. This article explains how to add, manage, and customize background music within your Visme projects for a polished and immersive experience.

Adding Background Music from the Advanced Settings

Click the Share button located at the top-right corner of the editor.

You’ll land on the Share Online page. From there, click on the Advanced Settings button.

In the settings panel that opens, click on the Sound tab in the upper-right corner.

Toggle on the Background Music option.

Click the dropdown menu to choose an audio file you’ve already uploaded, recorded, or selected from Visme’s Audio Library.

Below the dropdown, you’ll see additional settings to customize your audio:

– Adjust volume
– Enable/disable fade in/out
– Choose to loop the track
– Decide when the audio should start playing

These settings give you control over how your background music behaves across your project.

Note: The audio you choose will play across the entire project, from start to finish.

Note: On iOS devices, audio playback volume is always at maximum, regardless of the volume level set within Visme. On Android devices, audio respects the volume level configured in Visme.

Add Background Audio using the Animation Timeline

If you prefer to set background music from the editor itself, here’s how to do it using the Animation Timeline:

Click on the Timeline button from the top menu of your editor. The Animation Timeline will appear at the bottom of your screen.

Note: Make sure you’re in the Whole Project view (not inside a specific slide). This ensures your audio will apply across all slides.

Click the Add Background Music button that appears in the timeline area. This opens the Add Audio menu on the left-hand side of the editor.

Choose your preferred audio method:

– Upload your own audio
– Record new audio
– Use AI Text-to-Speech
– Select from Visme’s Audio Library

Note: Alternatively, you can also click the arrow icon next to the microphone at the bottom right of the timeline to access these same options.

Note: To add audio to a single slide only, double-click on the slide in the Animation Timeline to open its slide-specific view. Then add the audio from there. You’ll see it appear directly on the timeline of that slide.

Note: If your background audio contains speech or lyrics, you can make your project more accessible by adding closed captions. Alternatively, from the slide where you want to add audio, go to the Media tab, open the Add Audio section, and select your preferred audio file.

Editing your Background Music

Once your audio is added, you can customize it directly in the timeline:

Click the arrow icon next to the microphone, and select Edit Audio from the menu.

From there, adjust settings such as Volume, Fade in/out, and Looping.

You can click the sliders on the left and right side of the audio to trim the recording, or click within the center of the recording in the timeline to drag and move it to a different point within the slide duration.
