|  | How to incorporate PowerPoint Audio in a Live Meeting
Do you know of any way to incorporate audio files during a “powerpoint slideshow” in Live Meeting?
I could just upload the PPT and the audio files into content, then jump between the PPT and the audio files, but it would of course be very awkward with lots of lag time.

The challenge here is that the computer audio or telephone audio you are broadcasting is of course not listening to your computer sound card (where the ppt audio would play).
Here are a couple of suggestions:
1. Embed the audio in your PowerPoint, save as a PowerPoint show (pps) and upload to a SharePoint site that your participants have access to, or SlideShare.net. Now, in your Live Meeting share a WEB LINK (URL) of the now web-based PowerPoint and instruct participants to click on it. Everyone in the meeting will be watching the show and listening with their computer audio (yes, they need speakers or headset).
2. Not as fancy, and the sound and picture quality won't be as good, but this is dead easy: play the PowerPoint on your computer, sharing the screen, and turn up your computer volume so the Live Meeting (either microphone or, better yet, telephone) can "hear" it. You will be transmitting through ambient sound so need to be quiet, but this usually works just fine, and records through Live Meeting as well.
The above also applies to playing video (with audio) through LiveMeeting: upload to YouTube first, or play locally and pick up ambient sound.
