The Sound Control panel is where you manage all audio added to your Powtoon. From this panel you can adjust volume levels, swap audio files, remove audio, and preview how your music and voiceover sound together.
Opening the Sound Control panel
To open the Sound Control panel, click the sound control button in the bottom-left corner of the slide canvas. The panel opens and displays controls for every type of audio currently added to that slide.
What the Sound Control panel shows
The controls available in the Sound Control panel depend on the types of audio you have added. If you have added both a music soundtrack and a voiceover, the panel displays controls for each. The sections below describe every control you may see.
Music controls
When a music soundtrack has been added to your Powtoon, the Sound Control panel displays the following:
- A note symbol indicating that the Powtoon contains a music soundtrack.
- The name of the soundtrack currently added to the Powtoon.
- A swap button — click this to replace the current soundtrack with a different one.
- A remove button — click this to delete the soundtrack from the Powtoon.
- A volume slider for the soundtrack. This slider controls the music volume across the entire Powtoon, not just the current slide.
Voiceover controls
When a voiceover has been added to the current slide, the Sound Control panel displays the following:
- A microphone symbol on a blue background indicating that the slide contains a voiceover.
- The name of the voiceover file added to the current slide.
- A swap button — click this to replace the current voiceover with a different file.
- A remove button — click this to remove the voiceover from the current slide only.
- A volume slider for the voiceover. This slider controls the voiceover volume for the current slide.
Previewing all sounds together
The Sound Control panel includes a Play Together button. Clicking Play Together plays all audio added to the current slide at the same time — music and voiceover simultaneously — so you can hear how they balance and adjust the volume sliders accordingly.
Key points at a glance
The Sound Control panel is available from the bottom-left corner of the slide canvas. It shows separate controls for music and voiceover when both are present. The music volume slider applies to the entire Powtoon; the voiceover volume slider applies to the current slide only. Use Play Together to preview and balance all sounds on a slide before publishing.
Note: The remove button for a voiceover removes audio from the current slide only. To remove audio from other slides, open the Sound Control panel on each slide individually.
