Content: Which version of PowerPoint are you using? The first thing to check is which version of PowerPoint you have installed. As you’d expect, every generation of the program comes with its own advantages and disadvantages when working with video files and supports a different set of video formats, video codecs and audio codecs. Unsurprisingly, Office 2019 is the most modern and versatile – it allows you to actually embed videos directly in a presentation where the PowerPoint file gets saved with the videos inside, just like images. This helps to get rid of an issue users encountered over the years – broken linking between a presentation and video files that are saved somewhere else on your computer – a problem all too common in older PowerPoints. Saving videos inside the file can create a new problem – these files can get very large, which is a nuisance if you want to share them, upload them to a team share or use them on someone else’s computer. A. How to embed video in PowerPoint 2010 to 2019
PowerPoint 2013, 2016, and 2019 are all compatible with most video formats, especially MP4, while WMV is recommended for PowerPoint 2010. But all four versions can embed videos directly into slides, so don’t worry if you don’t have the newest make. You can either drag and drop your video onto a slide or click “Insert” in the ribbon, then on “Video” to select video files from your hard drive. Embedded videos can be played straight away.
