PowerPoint has come a long way from its humble origins in 1987 as a tool for creating transparencies for overhead projectors. It’s estimated that over 90% of people using a computer to make their presentations these days are using PowerPoint. With such a large uptake, and with boring presentations being a pretty big faux pas, it’s a good idea to learn all the tools and tricks you can to make your slideshow stand out. Some text flying in from the edge of the screen and a snowfield transition is no longer enough to impress, and fumbling about trying to make a video play is just as shabby-looking. Below, we’ll show you how to make sure your presentation is as slick as it can be, by ensuring your videos play as soon as you click on the slide. We’ll also share a few notes, tips, and tricks, all to help your presentation wow your audience. Automatically Play a Video from Your Computer
