How to swap a voiceover in Powtoon Studio

If you have already added a voiceover to your Powtoon — either across the entire Powtoon or on a specific slide — you can swap it for a different one at any time. You can do this from the Sound Control panel or directly from the timeline.

Swap a voiceover from the Sound Control panel

Use this method to swap a voiceover that applies to your entire Powtoon.

1. Open your Powtoon in Powtoon Studio.
2. Click the Sound Control button in the editor toolbar. The Sound Control panel will open on the right side of the screen.
3. Click the Swap icon in the Sound Control panel. Your personal voiceover library — My Voiceovers — will open.
4. Select the voiceover you want to use and click Use to the right of its name.
   ► If you want to replace the current voiceover with a new file, click Add voiceover in the library to upload one. See Adding a voiceover for more information.

The voiceover is swapped and the Sound Control panel remains open so you can review the updated audio settings.

Swap a voiceover from the timeline

Use this method to swap a voiceover that has been added to a specific slide on the timeline.

1. Open your Powtoon in Powtoon Studio and locate the voiceover track on the timeline at the bottom of the screen.
2. Click the voiceover clip on the timeline for the slide you want to update. The Sound Control panel will open.
3. Click the Swap icon in the Sound Control panel. Your personal voiceover library — My Voiceovers — will open.
4. Select the voiceover you want to use and click Use to the right of its name.
   ► If you want to replace the current voiceover with a new file, click Add voiceover in the library to upload one. See Adding a voiceover for more information.

The voiceover is swapped and updated directly on the timeline for that slide.

Note: The Swap icon appears in the Sound Control panel in both methods. If you do not see the Sound Control panel after clicking a voiceover clip on the timeline, click the Sound Control button in the toolbar to open it manually.
