Hi. How about a way to upload .mp3 per slide or any easier way. Also is there a way to video record it easier? I love spotlight mode...

Hi John! 👋 Glad you're loving spotlight mode! Quick answers on your questions: Audio per slide: We don't have native MP3 upload at the moment. The workaround is embedding audio from services like Spotify or SoundCloud. Just paste the link directly or use /spotify and Gamma will create a playable embed right in your card. Video recording: Gamma doesn't have built-in recording. Most folks pair Gamma with tools like Loom, OBS, or Zoom to record themselves presenting, then share that recording. Video uploading: You can embed videos from YouTube, Vimeo, Loom, and similar platforms. Just paste the link into your gamma or use the Videos & media option in the insert menu. 💡 Tip: If you're looking to add voiceover, recording with Loom while presenting your Gamma in spotlight mode works really well. You get the polished presentation experience plus your narration. Native audio per slide is solid feedback. I'd encourage you to drop it in Canny so it gets on the radar: https://meetgamma.canny.io/ What's the use case you're going for? Happy to brainstorm other approaches!

Thanks for the great info. I'm a course content creator, and I have a fantastic audio script. Voice-over spotlight mode is fantastic, but incredibly challenging to automate. My course is very long and has 10 modules with 10 short videos in each. It's not realistic to do this manually at this volume, so adding a voice over and then spotlight mode at the proper timing is essential for me. I'm trying all the tools and tricks I can to get the voice over aligned with the fantastic spotlight mode. Open to all ideas. Gosh, if someday I could add an audio file to each slide and then synchronize it to spotlight mode with a video recording would be crazy awesome. No other tool out there does it. By the way, they just synchronize two full slides on their own.

I think dropping in Ideas & Requests would be a great place for it
