Use this interactive demo to learn how to embed an MP3 audio file into your SurveyMonkey survey.

Quick summary

Adding an MP3 file to a SurveyMonkey survey requires using the Embed option inside the survey editor's media toolbar. You paste an audio player embed code directly into a question or text block to make audio playable within the survey.

Steps

Open your survey by clicking the ellipsis icon next to it.
Click 'Edit survey' to enter the survey editor.
In the question text or text block, add your question and click the media icon in the formatting toolbar.
Select 'Embed' to insert the MP3 file.
Copy the embed code for your audio player and paste it into the empty field.
Click 'OK' to confirm and apply the embed.
Your MP3 file is now successfully added to your SurveyMonkey survey.

📌 Why this matters

SurveyMonkey does not natively support direct MP3 file uploads, so knowing how to embed audio using an embed code is an essential skill for researchers, educators, and marketers who need respondents to listen to audio clips before answering questions. Embedding an MP3 player directly into a survey question improves response quality by delivering audio context in-line, without redirecting respondents to an external page. This method works across SurveyMonkey's paid plans and enables richer, multimedia survey experiences that drive more accurate and informed feedback.
