Adding audio or music to a text-heavy presentation can make it less boring or even spice it up. Unlike Microsoft PowerPoint, adding music is not yet fully available through Google Slides. Especially, for certain people who want to add Tidal music to Google Slides may find this issue even more troublesome.
Still, there are workarounds to get the effect anyway. Here, we are going to introduce two ways on how to add music to Google Slides from Tidal. But beware that each way has its pros and cons. Now let's see how to get it done step by step.
Part 1. Add Tidal Music to Google Slides by Inserting Links
As one of the giants in the streaming music industry, Tidal music now has 3 million users and offers over 60 million songs. Tidal has also made it easier for users to share music via Facebook, Twitter, or sharing links directly. This makes it possible to use Tidal music in Google Slides. Follow the steps below and you will able to add Tidal music to Google slides by inserting links.
Step 1. Open Tidal app or visit Tidal in a web browser, find the track you want, right-click on it, and select 'Share > Copy Track Link'.
Step 2. Open Google Slides and locate the slide in which you want to insert Tidal music.
Step 3. You can choose to add the Tidal music link to either a text or an image. Select the text or image and right-click to choose 'Link'.

But remember to make sure it works before you give your presentation because it requires you to log in with your Tidal account to play music. Also, please make sure you have a good Internet connection so that you can play Tidal music smoothly.
