Content: To make a video Play Full Screen in PowerPoint (regardless of its size on your slide), simply: Select the video on your slide
Navigate to the Playback tab
Click Play Full Screen
Now whenever you play that video inside your presentation, the video will play in full screen, regardless of how you resize it on your slide. The cool thing about this Play Full Screen feature is, you can then design your slide any way you like with your videos, and have them play full screen when you click them. For example, you could put 3 instructional videos on the same slide, and have each one play in full screen when you click it. Getting an online video to play full screen
Because the Play Full Screen command is not available for online videos in PowerPoint, online videos will play in whatever frame size they exist in on your slide. That means that if you want your video to play full screen during your presentation, you first need to resize the video to fit your entire slide space, as pictured below. How to compress a video in PowerPoint
If you have inserted a lot of videos from your computer and your presentation is running slowly (or is too big to share with others), you can reduce your file size by compressing your videos. This is only applicable to videos you embed from your computer (online videos don’t require compression as they don’t take up space within your presentation). To compress a video in PowerPoint, simply: Navigate to File
Select the Info tab (selected by default)
Open the Compress Media drop down
Choose between 1080p , 720p and 480p
​
After selecting a compression option, PowerPoint begins compressing all the videos within your presentation.
