If you’ve ever been stuck searching for a video on your computer while in the middle of presenting, then embedding videos into PowerPoint is an ideal solution. With this tutorial specifically designed for PowerPoint 365, even if you're using an older version of the software, you'll be able to easily follow along with no issues. While including videos may increase file size, it's worth having that extra bit of assurance knowing the material will always be right where when need it without any hiccups!
To get started, simply take these five simple steps:
Begin by launching your PowerPoint presentation and navigating to the slide where you intend on adding your video.
To continue, select the "Insert" tab.
To begin, locate the arrow positioned underneath the "Video" button in the top right corner or near it if you are utilizing PowerPoint 365. Click on the said button to proceed.
Next, select "Video on My PC/Movie from File" and choose the video you'd like to include. Finally, press the “Insert” button.
Now you have the video on your slide! Feel free to resize or rearrange it as desired for a perfect fit.
And that’s it. You’re good to go! Don't forget to preview your entire presentation to ensure your video plays exactly as you want it to.
Pro tip:
Include captions in your video before embedding them in the presentation. You can use some AI tools to generate closed captions from video recordings, and this will help everyone in the audience understand the content better. Enjoy!
