Which tab contains the controls to format audio and video in PowerPoint?

The Audio Tools Playback tab specifically includes controls that are tailored for managing audio elements within your PowerPoint presentation. When an audio clip is selected, this tab appears in the ribbon, providing you with options to adjust how the audio will behave during the presentation.

This tab offers features such as play, pause, stop, and volume settings, as well as options for trimming the audio clip and choosing whether it will play automatically or when clicked. Additionally, it includes controls to loop the audio and fade in or fade out effects, which are essential for enhancing the overall multimedia experience in a presentation.

In contrast, while the Design tab is focused on the overall aesthetics of the slides, the Insert tab is aimed at adding various elements, including multimedia but does not provide formatting options for them specifically. The Transition tab deals with slide transitions rather than multimedia content. Therefore, the Audio Tools Playback tab is the most relevant for those looking to format audio in PowerPoint.
