Part 1. Can I Add Amazon Music to PowerPoint?
Yes, it is indeed possible to achieve this by either recording or downloading music from Amazon Music. However, due to copyright protection, Amazon Music users are restricted from accessing and using music outside of the service or its supported platforms.

Consequently, it is not feasible to directly use Amazon Music in PowerPoint.
Fortunately, PowerPoint allows users the opportunity to insert personal local audio files that are compatible with it into its templates.
