Can you add music to Google Sites?

Google Sites does not provide a built-in feature to directly add background music or audio files to your website.
However, that said, you can still incorporate music into your Google Sites website by utilising third-party tools or embedding audio players.

Here’s an approach you can take to add music to your Google Sites website:

1. Choose an Audio Hosting Platform:
First, you’ll need to upload your music files to an audio hosting platform. There are several popular options available, such as SoundCloud, Mixcloud, or YouTube. Upload your audio files to one of these platforms and ensure that the platform provides an embeddable player for sharing the music on external websites.

2. Get the Embed Code:
Once your music is uploaded to the audio hosting platform, you’ll need to obtain the embed code or widget code for the specific track or playlist you want to include on your Google Sites website. This code is usually available in the “Share” or “Embed” options provided by the audio hosting platform.

3. Add an Embed Block to Google Sites:
In the Google Sites editor, add an “Embed” block to the page where you want to display the music. This block allows you to embed HTML code on your website.

4. Paste the Embed Code:
Paste the embed code obtained from the audio hosting platform into the “Embed” block on your Google Sites page. Save the changes.

5. Preview and Test:
Preview your Google Sites website to see the embedded audio player. Test the playback to ensure the music functions as intended.

By using this method, you can add music to your Google Sites website through the use of embedded players from third-party audio hosting platforms. It’s important to remember to consider copyright and licensing issues when adding music to your website. Make sure you have the necessary rights or permissions to use the music you want to include, and adhere to the terms and conditions of the audio hosting platform you choose.

Google Sites is user-friendly website builder, but it has some limitations in terms of features and design and customisation options. It’s a great tool for creating simple websites, portfolios, project pages, or internal team sites, but not really recommended for business websites. If you need a good looking website for your business or company and would like a professional website to be designed and built for you, please contact us.
