Yes, though it must be from YouTube rather than YouTube Music.
Paste the YouTube video link with the music you want within the Online Videos… section of PowerPoint, then click Insert.
Now, after the video is embedded, you will see that you can click and drag the video anywhere on that slide. Resize the video with the music so that it is very small.
You will also notice two extra tabs at the top when you click on the video on the slide: Video Format and Playback.
Click Playback, and, next to Start, select Automatically.
