How do you change playback settings to have an audio clip play in the background?

To have an audio clip play in the background during a PowerPoint presentation, utilizing the Audio Tools Playback tab is essential. By selecting the audio file and then clicking on the "Play in Background" option, you enable specific playback settings that allow the audio to loop automatically and continue playing across slides without requiring additional clicks. This feature is particularly useful for creating a seamless and engaging presentation experience, as it allows music or sound effects to enhance the overall atmosphere without interruptions.

The other options do not provide the correct method for achieving background audio playback in PowerPoint. Changing the format of the audio file does not impact how it plays within the presentation. Right-clicking and selecting Background Play is not an available feature in PowerPoint, and adjusting properties in the file settings may not offer the specific playback attributes required to play the audio continuously in the background. Thus, using the Audio Tools Playback tab is the most effective and straightforward approach.
