If you want to hide the audio icon in a Microsoft PowerPoint slideshow, you can do so by using the following steps:
- Open the PowerPoint slide.
- Choose the option that says “Hide audio.”
- Click on it.
When you add audio to your Microsoft PowerPoint presentation, you might set it to play automatically or in the background. You might not need to see the sound icon in these cases, so why not hide it?
You can easily hide the audio icon during your PowerPoint slideshow if you don’t plan to use it. And you can do this in the desktop version of PowerPoint on Windows and Mac as well as in PowerPoint on the web.
