How to Add a Video to a Microsoft PowerPoint Presentation

Situatie

In PowerPoint, you can either embed a video or link to a video from your presentation. If you embed a video, your video becomes part of the presentation, which increases the overall size of the presentation file. If you link to a video, PowerPoint only adds a reference to that video in your presentation. Lets see how to add a video to your Microsoft PowerPoint presentation.

Solutie

First, make sure the video you want to add to your presentation is saved on your Windows or Mac computer. Then, open your presentation with PowerPoint on your computer.

On the PowerPoint window, in the left sidebar, click the slide in which you want to add a video.

Click a slide in the left sidebar in PowerPoint.

At the top of the PowerPoint window, click the “Insert” tab.

Click "Insert" at the top of PowerPoint.

In the “Insert” tab, under the “Media” section (which is to the extreme right side of the interface), click “Video.”

Click "Video" in the "Insert" tab in PowerPoint.

You’ll now see an “Insert Video From” menu. Here, select “This Device.”

Select "This Device" from the "Insert Video From" menu in PowerPoint.

Your computer’s standard “open” window will open. In this window, access the folder that has your video file. Then double-click your video file to add it to your presentation.

Double-click a video in the "open" window.

You’ll see your selected video in your presentation. To resize this video, click it and use the handles around the video to change its size. Then drag the video to place it at its desired location in your slide.

Click the play button on the video in PowerPoint.

If you’d like to test the video, at the bottom-left corner of the video, click the play icon.
