Using Mote in Comments:
Install the Mote Chrome Extension.
Head to the tool you want to add an audio clip.
Look for the Mote icon in a comment box and click that icon to record your comment.
Click the purple check to stop recording.
Click “Comment” to complete.
Click the purple “Play” button to hear your audio.
Adding Audio to Google Slides:
Open a Slide Deck. (Make sure to have the Mote Extension installed first.)
You will see the Mote icon in the top right. Click on the icon.
Click the “Click to Start” icon.
Your audio is recording. Click the purple check to stop recording.
Click the “Insert” button to add this audio to your slide.
You will see the Mote icon appear on your screen (you can drag this anywhere you want it) as well as the Slide’s audio option on the right. Set them to whatever you need.
You can resize, recolor, or replace the Mote icon with anything.
Resize Icon: Click and drag the corner of the icon
Recolor Icon: Click the Icon>Format Options>Recolor
Replace Icon: Right-Click the icon>Replace Image>Choose File from Location
Accessing All Created Motes:
Want to see (or hear) all your created Mote audio clips?
Click on the Mote Extension and click:
“My Recent”: to see recent Mote recordings
“My Activity & Engagement”: to see all and details of each recording.
Experience the power of your voice! Give Mote a try!
*Note: for the best experience, make sure students also have the Mote extension; otherwise, they will need to click a link and listen to the comment audio (in comments only) in a new tab. Google Slide’s audio will still play normally (no extension needed to hear it).
