Keynote - audio files

I've created a Keynote presentation consisting of 46 slides (designed using Canva Pro). I created 46 separate mp3 files to narrate those slides (using Audacity), and now I need to bring it all together. I can add each separate mp3 to each separate slide, but I need to have those narratives play automatically, because I'll be hosting the course on Teachable, and I don't want my students to have to click a separate link to play each individual audio file. Can any one point me in the direction of a concise tutorial to show me what I need to do? The help files on Keynote weren't specific enough, and those on Teachable were way to general to be helpful. Thank you so much for helping!

Play individual sound files automatically on all slides:


1 - place a sound file on each slide


2 - Select all slides in the Navigator

(the Navigator, is the left hand side bar)



go to: Inspector /Animate /in the Start Transition dropdown menu, select Automatically

(The Inspector, is the right hand side bar)




3 - go to slide 1, click to select the sound file on the slide

Goto Inspector /Format /Audio


Click In the Start audio on click option to remove the tick mark in the box

(The Inspector, is the right hand side bar)






You have 46 slides, so you will have to repeat item 3,    46 times!
