Hi, 

I'm having some trouble in using PowerPoint mobile app on Android.

I made a PPS on PowerPoint 2016, that I wanna use as a talker tool for a mute disabled guy I work with. It's a single slide, with 10 different images linked to 10 different sounds (sounds are embed as actions) who describes the various action/request. When I play it on PC all works fine, clicking the image make play the sound. I'm trying to use it on a tablet, to make a portable talker, but there is no way to play sounds on the mobile app. Any suggestion for a method to make them play well?

Thanks in advance!

    Here is Microsoft's page of features sets in different versions of mobile Office: Compare PowerPoint features on different platforms. PowerPoint for Android is the least capable version and cannot play sound during a slide show.

    Hi Valeriomocata.
    I am Lyn, an Independent Advisor and a fellow Microsoft user. Here to assist you in solving an issue.
    Please consider embedding these sounds in a different audio codec. For instance if the audio format of your sounds are .mp3, try converting it into .wma or .wav or vice versa. Also please note that the office in phones have limited features/ functions than the office installed in desktops or pc.

    Regards,
    Lyn
