Background Music for a Presentation

Question

Is it permissible to use a completely vocal song (really, just singing without music) created by voices, as background music for a presentation [during the Nine Days leading to Tisha B’Av]?

Answer

Shalom!
It is permitted to use it as a background, and not for the purpose of listening to the song itself.
