UPDATE 12/5/19: This tool is no longer available. If you are looking for information about adding audio to Google Slides, visit this blog post instead.
UPDATE: I believe that this tool is no longer available. When I attempt to visit the link for the add-on, I get a 404 error. Perhaps they have discontinued this add-on due to the roll-out by Google of the new option to add audio to Slides. Regardless, AudioPlayer for Slides no longer seems to be working.
I have a love/hate relationship with Google Slides. I love the collaborative nature of Slides. I love how creative I can be and how easy it is to pull materials out of my Google Drive as I create Slides. What I hate is that sometimes I miss a few of the features of PowerPoint, most notably the ability to add audio to my Slides presentation.
As of today, that is no longer an issue thanks to EdTech Team! With the release of their AudioPlayer for Slides, I can now add music or voiceovers to my Slides. AudioPlayer allows me to pull music files (mp3 and mp4) from my Drive or downloads or EdTechTeam has also included a few short music clips that I can select if I don’t have easy access to any music files. I think the most exciting feature of AudioPlayer for Slides is that I can record my own voice and narrate my Slides. Just imagine what your students could do with this!
AudioPlayer for Slides is a free Google Chrome extension. Once you add it to chrome, you will need to click on the green megaphone icon to login with your Google credentials. From that point forward, you will access the extension exclusively while you are in Slides.
After you have created your Slides presentation, adding audio is as simple as a right click (or two finger touch if you are working on a Chromebook).
Adding music is as easy as 1, 2, 3!
Recording your own voice is a snap!
I would imagine you are as excited about this new extension as I am! Get busy making the most amazing Slides presentations ever!

If you had read the article, you will see that it no longer exists. You do not need the extension to add audio to Google Slides. It is a now a feature native to slides and you can find the option under the insert menu. There is a link to a how-to add audio to slides article at the beginning of the original post.

This extension is no longer available. If you looked at this article, I let everyone know that and then directed people to the article I wrote about how to add audio to slides. It is an internal process that you can do now. You do not need a third party extension to make it happen.

Because it no longer exists. I put a notification across the top of the article that it is no longer available. However, you do not need the extension because you can now add audio to Slides directly within Slides. I linked the article explaining how to do this at the top of the original article you read.
