Collaborating on documents online

If you have a shared document in Teams, Office 365 groups, in SharePoint or in Onedrive, you can edit it at the same time as other people when it is opened online in a browser.  This enables you to work collaboratively on the same document, either in real time or at separate times, without the need to save different copies of it.  If you edit in real time with others you can see edits as they happen.

Have the audio file saved to the computer locally as an MP3 file - (if you have an obscure file type then email ITskills@chi.ac.uk who may be able to help convert the file to MP3)

Once you have the file as an MP3 on your computer, open PowerPoint and navigate to the slide you wish the audio to appear on.
