How to record voice for a slide in LibreOffice Impress?

Question

I am using Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS. I want to record my voice for a slide in LibreOffice Impress. I searched but I didn't get it. Please, anyone, help me!

Solution

You'll need an audio recording software first.

Ubuntu Help Page recommends Audacity.

1. Install Audacity.
2. Go to menu: Edit ▸ Preferences ▸ Devices. Go to section Recording
3. Choose the appropriate recording device (make sure the device is plugged-in) and click OK.
4. Record the audio.

After you've recorded your voice, go to Impress top menu and Insert-> Movie and Sound. Find your sound file and click Open to add it in your slide.

Can you post a screenshot? Do you have a microphone plugged in?
