Codecs are computer programs that were originally used to convert audio between analog and digital sound. It is now also used to compress a large video or audio file so that it can be transferred over the internet. They are very important tools for optimizing media playback across devices. You may be seeing the PowerPoint codec unavailable error due to an important codec not being installed on your computer. The video won’t play in PowerPoint unless you have the correct codecs installed for the media type. Usually, codecs are automatically installed alongside media players, however, you can install them manually as well. If you are unsure what codec packs you require, begin by installing the K-lite pack and the K-lite Mega codec pack. Read more about Windows Media Codecs here. Solution 3: Convert The Media Files
