Hiding/disabling the seekbar in particular slides

Apr 11, 2011

Hi! I'd like to know if there's a way to hide or disable the seekbar only in certain slides? We'd like to have the seekbar only on slides that have audio, as having it on the non-audio slides confuses the viewer to think that there's audio where there isn't. Thank you!

You could change the view for those slides to Slide Only in Slide Properties:

My expectation, though, is that most people wouldn't perceive the seekbar moving as meaning there is actual audio on your slide. I think changing the view would be more confusing than just leaving the seekbar. If you really wanted to let people know there was narration on a slide or not, you could probably place a clip art piece on the slide to indicate there is no audio.
