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':

Can I leave comments about the photos, stories, documents, and audio files in memories?

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.
