Part 1. Can You Add Spotify Music for PowerPoint?
Unfortunately, you can't do it directly. However, there are still some workarounds.
For example, you can create themed cards or images as hyperlinks to Spotify songs. These cards can be clicked during the presentation to open Spotify's website for online playback. However, it requires a stable network connection, and switching screens to the Spotify webpage can disrupt the flow and affect the overall presentation experience.
You can also choose to download music from Spotify and embed it in your PowerPoint. But first, you should know that Spotify songs are protected by DRM. The music you download through the Spotify app is saved as DRM-protected cache files with the .file extension.
While PowerPoint only supports importing common audio formats, as listed below:

Operating Systems |
Supported Audio Formats |
| PowerPoint for Windows | MP3, WAV, WMA, MIDI, AIFF, AU |
