How to get Audio File on Slideshow to play

In an album on my gallery in FamilySearch. I uploaded an audio file. It will play on its own. However, I would like it to play during the slideshow but it does not. It is an M4a file and I am using a Mac with Chrome browser. I also tried with the Safari browser and it did not work. Can anyone help?

    I am no expert with "Memories" ...

    .

    And, as far as I was aware, "Slideshows", could not be uploaded into 'FamilySearch'.

    .

    But ...

    That said ...

    .

    I just did some research ...

    .

    I went through, these "Knowledge Articles" in 'FamilySearch':

    .

    They did not seem to address the matter ...

    Then, I did an INTERNET search ( ie. slideshow familysearch )...

    Much better ...

    .

    They were in the, 'FamilySearch', "Blog"; and, "Wiki" ...

    FamilySearch introduced the FS Memories slideshow option in late 2020 I believe.

    as far as I understood - it was merely an audio-less slideshow of the items in a FS ALBUM.

    As you probably already know the slideshow option is one of the menu options on the album.

     

     

    However - I also found this interesting article about a service via JoyFlips - which appears to have an audio option.
