Content: Embedding Online videos vs. Desktop videos
There are two different types of videos you can embed in PowerPoint: Videos from your computer
Videos from online sources like YouTube
As you will see in this article, the main difference between these two types of videos, is how much formatting control you have over them inside of PowerPoint. So here is a quick rundown of the differences between embedding a video that’s on your computer, versus one that is online. 1. Video size
An online video (like a YouTube video) will not increase the size of your PowerPoint presentation. That’s because the video will stream from the web, where it resides. So whereas a 45 MB video embedded from your computer will increase the size of your presentation by 45 MB, a 45 MB video uploaded to YouTube and then embedded in PowerPoint will not increase the size of your presentation. You can see proof of this in the picture above. I added the same video to a blank PowerPoint presentation. One embedded from my computer, the other embedded from YouTube (after I uploaded it to YouTube).
