Record Audio Toolbar

Use the Record Audio toolbar to either add audio to a slide or to replace the existing audio in a slide. Note that while the Record Audio toolbar is open, the Record Audio button on the toolbar remains "pressed" to indicate that the floating toolbar is enabled. Clicking the Record Audio button again will close the toolbar. You can also close the toolbar by clicking on its Close (×) button.

You can move the toolbar around. The next time the toolbar is opened, it displays in the position that you moved it to.
