Playing music in the background helps to alleviate any awkward silence when attendees are responding to a poll with a countdown timer.  


Note: Music can only be added to polls with a timer. See Customize the On-Screen Behavior of Polls for information about how to configure a timer for a poll.

Upload a music file


  1. Sign-in to the Admin Panel

  2. Under Advanced Tools, select Slide Music
  3. Drag and drop an .mp3 audio file into the Upload music files box
    Alternatively, click inside the Upload music files box and select the appropriate audio file from a file picker

    Note: The music file should be formatted as an .mp3 and not exceed 3 MiB (3.14MB) in size.

    Audio files can be large, but by adding music that is timed to match the countdown timer, it’s possible to keep the file within the size limit. In other words, when adding a countdown timer set for 0:20 seconds, the audio file should contain music that is only 0:20 seconds long.
