Turn your presentation into a video
When you make a recording of a presentation, all its elements (narration, animation, pointer movements, timings, and so on) are saved in the presentation itself. In essence, the presentation becomes a video that your audience can watch in PowerPoint.
So you have two options for turning your presentation into a video that's ready to view:
Save/export your presentation to a video file format (.mp4 or .wmv).
Save your presentation as a PowerPoint Show (.ppsx) file. (A PowerPoint Show appears full-screen in Slide Show, ready to view immediately.)
Save as a video file
After you've created your slides and recorded any timing and narrations and laser pointer gestures that you want to include, you're ready to create a video file.
On the File menu, select Save to ensure all your recent work has been saved in PowerPoint presentation format (.pptx).
Click File > Export > Create a Video . (Or, on the Recording tab of the ribbon, click Export to Video .)
In the first drop-down box under the Create a Video heading, select the video quality you want, which pertains to the resolution of the finished video. The higher the video quality, the larger the file size. (You may want to test them to determine which one meets your needs.)
* The Ultra HD (4K) option is only available if you're using Windows 10Â or later.
The second drop-down box under the Create a Video heading tells whether your presentation includes narration and timings. (You may switch this setting if you like.)
If you haven't recorded timed narration, by default the value is Don't Use Recorded Timings and Narrations .
The default time spent on each slide is 5 seconds. You can change that timing in the Seconds to spend on each slide box. To the right of the box, click the up arrow to increase the duration, or click the down arrow to decrease the duration.
If you have recorded a timed narration, by default the value is Use Recorded Timings and Narrations .
Click Create Video .
In the File name box, enter a file name for the video, browse for the folder that will contain this file, and then click Save .
In the Save as type box, choose either MPEG-4 Video or Windows Media Video .
You can track the progress of the video creation by looking at the status bar at the bottom of your screen. The video creation process can take up to several hours depending on the length of the video and the complexity of the presentation.
Tip: Â Â Â For a long video, you can set it up to be created overnight. That way, itâll be ready for you the following morning.
To play your newly-created video, go to the designated folder location, and then double-click the file.
Save as a PowerPoint Show
When someone opens a PowerPoint Show file, it appears full-screen in Slide Show, rather than in edit mode. The viewer begins watching the presentation immediately.
On the File menu, select Save As .
Choose the folder location where you want to store your PowerPoint Show file.
In the Save as type box, choose PowerPoint Show (*.ppsx) .
Select Save .
Why turn your presentation into a video?
When you want to give a high-fidelity version of your presentation to colleagues or customers (either as an e-mail attachment, published to the web, on a CD or DVD), save it and let it play as a video.
You can save your presentation as either an MPEG-4 video file (.mp4) or a .wmv file. Both formats are widely supported and can be streamed over the internet.
Some tips to remember when recording your presentation as a video:
You can record and time voice narration and laser pointer movements in your video.
You can control the size of the multimedia file and the quality of your video.
You can include animations and transitions in your movie.
Viewers do not need to have PowerPoint installed on their computers to watch it.
If your presentation contains an embedded video, the video will play correctly without your needing to control it.
Depending on the content of your presentation, creating a video may take some time. Lengthy presentations and presentations with animations, transitions, and media content will likely take longer to create. Fortunately, you can continue to use PowerPoint while the video is being created
What parts of a presentation won't be included in a video?
The following items won't be included in a video that you create using PowerPoint:
Media inserted in previous versions of PowerPoint. To include these, you can convert or upgrade the media object.
For example, if you inserted the media using PowerPoint 2007, it will be linked and it will play in the presentation. However, when you export the file as a video, the linked media will be dropped. You can convert the file to the new file format (click the File tab, and under Info , click Convert ), or you can right-click the media object and then click to upgrade; it will embed the file and export it correctly.
QuickTime media (unless you have a third-party QuickTime codec named ffdShow installed and you have optimized for compatibility)
OLE/ActiveX controls
What to do with your video after creating it
After you create a video, you can share it with others by using the following methods:
Email your presentation to others
Save to a file share or other location
Upload it to your organization's Microsoft Stream video-sharing site , as described in the next section, "Save to a video-sharing site."
Save to the Microsoft video-sharing site
After you've created the video file, you can upload it to a video-sharing site. Microsoft Stream is an enterprise video service where people in an organization can upload, view, and share videos. Microsoft 365 business or education subscribers have access to this service from within PowerPoint for Microsoft 365.Â
Select File > Export , and then select Publish to Microsoft Stream .
Type a title and a description for the video.
Set other options, including whether you want others in your organization to have permission to see the video:
Select the Publish button.
The upload process can take several minutes, depending on the length of the video. A status bar at the bottom of the PowerPoint window tracks the progress, and PowerPoint shows a message when the upload is finished:
Click the message to go directly to the video playback page on Microsoft Stream.
For more information about this service, begin reading with What is Microsoft Stream? It includes information about Office 365 Video vs. Microsoft Stream.
1 The Ultra HD (4K) option is only available if you're using Windows 10Â or later. 2 In PowerPoint 2016, the Ultra HD (4K) option isn't available in the Volume License edition.
When someone opens a PowerPoint Show file, it appears full-screen in Slide Show, rather than in edit mode. The viewer begins watching the presentation immediately.
Burn your presentation to a disc
Click File > Export > Create a Video .
PowerPoint 2013 and newer versions can save your presentation as either an MPEG-4 video file (.mp4) or a .wmv file. Both formats are widely supported and can be streamed over the internet.

How to Make a PowerPoint into a Video in Under 5 Minutes
- how to make a powerpoint into a video
PowerPoint is, by far, the most popular tool people use to make presentations , whether for school projects or work-related activities, such as staff training or pitching a product idea to investors.
PowerPoint is genuinely a great tool. Itâs simple and easy to use, offers hundreds of themes, and if you spend a bit of time playing around with all the different options inside the program, you can make professional presentations that will captivate your audience.
The only issue regarding PowerPointâmore specifically, presentations in generalâis the limited usability of PPT files. You canât upload a presentation on YouTube , for example. You could technically share it on your website or on social media, but a presentation without a presenter is just a random compilation of images.
Unless the person who created the presentation takes the time to weave the story, explain all the concepts, and expand on the bullet points the audience sees on the slides, the presentation wonât have the desired impact.
Does that mean that presentations are only viable in a face-to-face setting? Not exactly. There are a number of different ways to utilize presentations, but they all involve converting the PPT file into a video .
Now, the question begs itselfâ how do you make a video out of a presentation?
Turn PPTs into engaging videos
With InVideoâs online editor
Creating a Video from PowerPoint
The first thing that will go through most peopleâs minds is a webinar. When you stop to think about it, a webinar is nothing more than a glorified presentation. Someone takes the time to record themselves as theyâre going through all the different slides and explaining everything in detail.
A webinar is a rather specific form of content, and it takes a lot of time and effort to put one together and to get enough people to watch it to make it worthwhile. Unless youâre an experienced salesperson who is adamant about selling a product and firmly believes that the best way to do so is to blabber about it for two hours, youâre probably looking for a faster, less painstaking way to turn a PowerPoint into a video.
Thankfully, there are a number of different ways to do so. In fact, PowerPoint itself gives you the option to convert the presentation into a video. In this article, weâll walk you through the entire process step by step and show you how to make a video PPT using all the different versions of the program.
How to make a video from PowerPoint?(Office 365, PowerPoint 2019, PowerPoint 2016)
Although the option is there, keep in mind that itâs not as simple as clicking a Convert to video button. You do need to record narration and laser point gestures (mouse movement on-screen) beforehand.
The reason for that is simple and technical in natureâunless you record narration and timings beforehand, PowerPoint will default to five seconds per slide when creating a video.
You can change this by clicking the upward arrow next to the Timing under the Create a Video option, but keep in mind that youâll be adjusting the time for all slides simultaneously. There is no option to adjust how long each individual slide will appear on the screen.
If you want to use different timings per slide, as well as record narration, select the Recording option inside PowerPoint and create a video.
Hereâs how youâll enable recording inside Office 365 PowerPoint, as well as PowerPoint 2019 and 2016:
1. Click on File and select Options on the left-hand side of the screen 2. Choose Customize Ribbon (A) from the drop-down menu 3. Check Recording (B) in the pop-up window and hit OK (C)
Image source: Microsoft
Youâll see a new option appear on your screen under the Recording tab, titled Record Slide Show. Clicking on the downward pointing arrow will allow you to choose whether you want to start recording the slideshow from the start or from the slide youâre currently on.
You can also choose to record the narration as audio or video, and you will be able to leverage a variety of different tools, such as pens and markers, to highlight certain elements on your slides.
As youâre recording, the red circle next to the Record Slide Show button will be blinking, indicating that the audio and/or video is being captured. Once you go through all the slides, you can either:
- Click on the square Stop button - Press S on your keyboard.
Exporting your video
The easiest way to export the video you just recorded is to navigate to the Recording tab and select Export to Video . This will open up a new menu, and PowerPoint will prompt you to choose the video quality.
One thing to keep in mind is that the Ultra HD option is available only on Windows 10 .
Next up, youâll need to either set the timings for the slides or select the Use Recorded Timings and Narration option.
Then, click on Create a Video , name your file, and choose where you want to save it.
Finally, select the Save as Type option and choose between two available formats:
- MPEG-4 Video - Windows Media Video
PowerPoint will start converting the slideshow into a video automatically. Depending on the video quality and length, this process might take a while, so we suggest timing it so that you donât have to use the computer during that time. For larger, Full HD or Ultra HD videos, itâs best to keep the program running overnight.
PowerPoint 2013
One notable difference with the 2013 version of PowerPoint is that the video quality options are slightly different. Ultra HD (4K) was just entering the scene, and not a lot of people owned devices that supported the 3840 Ă 2160 video resolution, so itâs no surprise that the option doesnât exist in this version.
The interface didnât change much over the years, so if you happen to be running PowerPoint 2013, youâll go through the exact same process as with the newer versions of the program:
1. Navigate to File , click Export , and choose to Create a Video 2. Select the resolution 3. Set timing parameters or use recorded timings and narration 4. Click on Create Video 5. Choose Save as Type and select between MPEG-4 or Windows Media Video
PowerPoint 2010
If you are still using the 10-year-old version of PowerPoint, the options for creating a video out of your slideshow will be a bit different.
The first thing to keep in mind is that PowerPoint 2010 only supports .mp4 files and that the maximum resolution for the videos is 1290 x 720, which isnât exactly ideal. If you want to create a professional-looking video from your PowerPoint presentation to share with business partners or your audience, you might want to consider a less restrictive alternative.
Hereâs how you would turn your slideshow into a video in this outdated version of the program:
1. Select Save & Send under File 2. Choose the option Create a Video at the very bottom of the right-hand side of the screen 3. Find the Create a Video tab if you want to see the available video quality options 4. Click on the downward-pointing arrow next to the Computer & HD Displays option and choose from the three available options 5. Choose between Use and Donât Use Recorded Timings and Narration depending on whether you want to use recorded timings and narration 6. Click on Create a Video , name it, choose the destination folder, and hit Save
PowerPoint Video Drawbacks
Itâs always great when you can use the same tool for various different tasks. In the case of PowerPoint, you can both create the presentation within the program and convert it into a video on the spot.
That said, PowerPoint isnât a video editing tool . What we mean by this is that you are severely limited in terms of what you can do with the video you create from your PPT. There are no transitions, you canât leverage fade-ins and fade-outs, and there is no music, among other things.
No matter how you look at it, the videos created through PowerPoint will be bland. PowerPointâs PPT to video conversion might get the job done if your only goal is to share a presentation internally with your team. Even then, it only makes sense in a remote work environment, where you canât physically hold the presentation to your coworkers.
If youâre planning on using the presentation as a core part of your marketing strategy , then the video qualityâand we donât mean the resolution hereâyouâll get from PowerPoint wonât suffice. No matter how professional you sound during the narration, the videos created through PowerPoint will still give off the impression that you didnât try all that hard.
When you see the production value of the videos that businesses share on their websites, YouTube channels , and social media, itâs painfully obvious that PowerPoint videos canât compete. This doesnât mean you have to spend months learning video editing or spend a small fortune hiring a professional videographer to make and edit the videos for you.
With InVideo, a powerful yet easy-to-use online video editor , you can create stunning videos from your presentations in minutes! Weâll walk you through the whole process to show you how easy it is to create breathtaking videos from presentations with InVideo .
How to make a video from a PowerPoint Presentation using InVideo?
Videos are quickly becoming an integral part of every businessâs marketing strategy. Whether youâre a startup, an enterprise, a medium-size business, or a solo entrepreneur, you will need to use videos if you want to attract as much traffic to your website as possible.

InVideo makes video editing quick, easy, and fun. Thanks to our intuitive, drag-and-drop video editor , professionally designed video templates , and an extensive library of photos and audio tracks, you can create killer videos in no time, even if you have absolutely no video editing experience.
Our platform is cloud-based, meaning you can access it from any browser on your computer and laptop. This also means that your video editing capabilities wonât depend on how powerful your machine is, meaning you can create HD and Ultra HD videos even with a low-end PC or laptop.
The best part about InVideo is the fact that you can export up to 60 videos per month for free! With our free plan , youâll have access to all of InVideoâs features so that you can play around with all the different options and learn video editing at your own pace. We also have dozens of video editing tutorials for different use-cases, so you can get started right away.
Creating videos from photos and PowerPoint presentations is one of many things you can do with InVideo.
Hereâs are the simple steps you can follow to create a stunning video from your presentation with InVideo:
Step 1: Create an account
To get started, youâll need to create an account.
Navigate to our website and click Sign Up in the top right corner. Input your email, set up your password, and youâre good to go. Weâll never ask you for your credit card information or phone number. We wonât bombard you with emails eitherâwe hate spam as much as you do.
Step 2: Select a Template or start from scratch
Once you log in, youâll see several different options on the homepage:
The Pre-made Templates option will be selected by default. While there are over 5000 stunning video templates in our library, we strongly suggest that you go with the Blank Template option for this purpose.
You will be starting from scratch, but itâs not as scary as it might sound. The blank template is the most convenient option since youâll be treating each slide as a separate scene and editing them individually. Hereâs how to do it:
- Choose how long each slide appears on the screen - Add the appropriate narration - Throw in effects , filters, transitions , etc.
Step 3: Upload your media
Assuming you are the one who created the presentation, you should have all the necessary media on your deviceâphotos, slides, and the script . To add it to the video, youâll first need to upload it through our video editor .
From the menu on the left, select the Uploads option and click on the Upload button at the bottom of the screen.
You can upload files up to 800MB at a time. If you have all the photos neatly sorted into a folder, you can upload the entire folder in one go. All the media you upload will be available immediately to the left of your videoâfor this and all future projectsâand you can drag and drop images to the center of the screen to add them to the timeline.
Step 4: Add the photos
Letâs start with a single sceneâthe intro of your presentation. Drag and drop the desired image from the Uploads library onto the screen to add it to the scene.
The video editor will show you what the image will look like in the video. When you drop the photo, youâll need to select one of the two options:
- Replace - Add as a layer
If the slide consists of a single image, choose Replace. Since weâre not using a pre-made template here, the image you chose will replace the black background.
If you would like to add additional images on top of itâsuch as graphs, screenshots, product photos, or lifestyle imagesâdrag and drop them to the center of the screen once again, but this time select the Add as a Layer option. This will put the new image on top (in front) of the background one, making the first one act as a backdrop.
Step 5: Edit the Scenes and add text
By default, scenes will be about five to six seconds long, which probably isnât sufficient for the narration. You can edit how long each slideâreferred to as a scene in the video editorâwill be on the screen for on the timeline.
The image above shows the basic timeline, which is great for having an overview of all your scenes. To edit a specific scene, click on it on the timeline and select the Advanced Timeline option in the top right corner.
On the left side, youâll see all the different elements that make up the scene. Select each one youâd like to edit, whether itâs a logo, the text, or the image itself.
The middle of the timeline is reserved for the length of the scene. To adjust how long this scene will be in the video, move the sliders left or right. The duration of the scene will always be displayed in the center.
On the right side, youâll be able to zoom in and out, so you can edit the timeline more easily.
As far as text editing is concerned, you can do so either from the timeline or by selecting the text box on the screen. Youâll be able to drag and drop the text box to adjust the positioning, rotate the text, change the colors and font, and more. To add multiple text boxes, select the Text option from the left-hand menu and drag and drop the new box onto the screen.
Step 6: Add narration
All thatâs left to do is add narration. If youâve recorded the audio already, you can add it through Uploads , the same way you did with photos. If not, you can add a voice-over to each individual scene. Select the Add VO option and import an existing voice-over or choose to record it on the spot.
Step 7: Export the Video
After you record or upload the VO, add the photos, and edit the length of each scene, youâre good to go. You can play around with filters, effects, and transitions if youâd like, but the base video is complete and ready to be shared with the world!
All thatâs left to do is to click on Export in the top right corner and wait for the video to render. After a few minutes, depending on the videoâs length, youâll be able to download it, post it on YouTube and social media, or copy the shareable link and use the video in your marketing campaigns.

How To Convert a PowerPoint Presentation to a HD Video in 3 Steps
There are many reasons why you may consider converting a PowerPoint presentation to a High-Definition video ; for example if you want to share a presentation online through YouTube or Vimeo, create a self-running presentation or save the slide show video to a DVD.
In this article we will guide you on how to convert a PowerPoint presentations to a High Definition video (as an MP4 video file,Windows Media Video .wmv file or QuickTime Video File .mov) using Microsoft PowerPoint.
PowerPoint lets you save presentations as videos directly from the File > Save As dialog box; however if you need to choose the output video quality while saving the presentation then it is recommended to use the File > Export > Create a Video option.
High Definition (HD) or high-quality presentation uses a higher resolution (1280×720 or 1920×1080) to save the video information. It can improve the overall experience while watching a presentation online or playing a PowerPoint slideshow in a kiosk. It would be the preferred format if you plan to upload your video presentation to YouTube or Vimeo, and have higher quality. The main drawback is that the presentation video file size will be bigger and more bandwidth may be required.
Why You Should Convert a PowerPoint to a Video Format?
Converting a PowerPoint to a video format can have several advantages. From making intuitive videos to engaging your audience to address complex topics in just a few minutes.
Create a Video Slideshow
You can use the converted video file to create a video slideshow for display at an event or edit the content of the video to generate a video presentation.
Create Presentations and Tutorials
PowerPoint enables users to export their videos with voice-over narration and animations. This can help create extensive presentations for an audience
Use Professional Editing Software to Create Engaging Videos
Adding a voice-over, additional graphics, and some footage can help create a professional-looking presentation by using a video editing application. Similar to how you use Instagram tools to convert images into a stunning video, some famous video editing apps that can help you make the most out of your converted PowerPoint file to a video format include Adobe Premiere Pro, Camtasia Studio, iMovie, Final Cut Pro, etc. If you are a Windows user, you can look into alternatives to Final Cut Pro like Lightworks, Movavi Video Editor, and Shotcut.
Create a Video Instead of Using PowerPoint
You can convert PowerPoint to video by simply letting your slides play out, making the presentation easy to play for end users without the need to have PowerPoint installed. This approach can also be helpful if you intend to present your slides using a video player instead of PowerPoint, as the latter might not be available everywhere, whereas video players often come with all types of desktop and mobile operating systems.
Upload a Video Online
Many presenters also like to upload their presentations online for an audience. A teacher might be interested in making his/her presentation available for students, or an industry expert might wish to share a concept with others in the industry by uploading a video to a YouTube channel. Either way, converting your PowerPoint to a video can help make the content easily shareable via video streaming platforms like YouTube and Vimeo. Such a video can also be shared privately via file-sharing apps like Box, Dropbox, OneDrive, Google Drive, etc.
How To Convert PowerPoint to Video (Windows)
Step 1 â go to file > export.
The first step to save a PowerPoint presentation as a HD video go to File -> Export and then click Create a Video button.
Step 2 â Choose Video Resolution
Now, select a resolution to export your video. Other than the Standard (825×480) resolution, the high-definition resolution options include HD (Medium 1280×720), Full HD (Large 1920×1080), or Ultra HD 4K (Largest file size 1920×1080). If you are using an older version of PowerPoint, you might have limited options to select between HD resolutions, since versions older than PowerPoint 2013 only supported HD videos (1280×720).
Optional Step: Save Narrations, Laser Pointer Gestures & Recorded Timings in the Video Exported from PowerPoint
Aside from saving the PowerPoint presentation as an HD video, you can also save a video file that incorporates all the recorded timings during a rehearsal, narrations, and even laser pointer gestures.
In case you have recorded narrations for your slides, you can use them or select Record a Video option to instantly start narrating your slides. The Preview Timings and Narrations option in the same drop-down menu does what it says, it enables you to check and ensure that your narrations are correctly timed with your slides, so you can make necessary edits before finalizing your video.
Optional Step: Select Slide Duration
Choose the default time spent on each slide (in seconds) and whether to save the narrations, timings, and gestures. By default, 5.00 seconds are spent on each slide unless you have a different timing recorded for the presentation slideshow.
Step 3 â Select Video Format and Create a Video Presentation
Click Create Video button and choose the destination folder and output file name. For end users wondering how to convert ppt to MP4, this is the step where you can select MP4 as your output format. PowerPoint supports saving slide decks to MP4 or WMV video formats. Once you confirm, wait a few seconds in order for the file is being saved on your hard disk. Presentations with a lot of slides may require a longer wait time.
Something good about saving presentations as a video file is that all animations, transitions, and media are preserved.
How to Convert PowerPoint to Video (Mac)
If youâre wondering how to make a PowerPoint into a video on Mac, the steps are quite similar to how you would export PowerPoint to video on a PC, with a few minor differences.
Step 1 â Go to File > Export
To convert PowerPoint to video on Mac, go to File -> Export.
Step 2 â Choose Video Format
If you have been wondering how to save PowerPoint as MP4 on Mac, this is the step where you can pick a video file format to save your presentation as a video, including MP4 and MOV.
The difference between the PC and Mac during this step is the difference in the availability of video conversion options. The PC version, along with MP4, allows saving a video in the Windows Media Video (WMV) format, unlike Mac, which offers QuickTime video format (MOV) instead.
Step 3 â Select Video Resolution and Create Video
The new version of PowerPoint for Mac allows saving a presentation in HD (Medium 1280×720), Full HD (1920×1080), or Ultra HD 4K (1920×1080) format. The higher the resolution, the higher the file format, so make sure you have enough disk space to save a very heavy file, especially if you opt for Ultra HD 4K resolution.
Save Narrations, Laser Pointer Gestures & Recorded Timings (Optional)
To save narrations, recorded timings, and laser point gestures, select the Use Recorded Timings and Narrations option.
Select Slide Duration (Optional)
To precisely time how long each slide is presented in the video, select the time duration. The default duration is 5.00 seconds, unless you have specified time for each slide separately in the presentation.
Select Export to create your video. Depending on the resolution you have selected, it might take several minutes before the video is converted. Higher resolutions take more time to conversion.
Saving videos from PowerPoint can help you at the time you need to share a presentation slideshow online (for example, uploading it via YouTube or Vimeo, or any other online video platform ), but you can also use this technique to prepare a PowerPoint presentation for a kiosk, make interactive PowerPoint presentations or create a self-running presentation. PowerPoint presentations saved as videos can also be easily run from mobile devices without the need for PowerPoint to be installed on the device. If you wish to save your PowerPoint to video in a format easily accessible, you can opt for PowerPoint save as MP4 instead of using WMV or MOV file formats that are not supported by all types of video players.

Can’t believe no one has commended you for this helpful tutorial! We want to mount several TVs in the lobby and exam rooms of our veterinary hospital to run informational presentations for our clients about pet care, our services, and helpful products. Recording a PowerPoint as a video and then putting it on a USB thumb drive to connect to the TV seems like it will be an effective, inexpensive way to get that accomplished. Thank you so much!
I second the above comment. Thank You
how to present a power point presentation on a smart tv..and having it loop over to continuous display..keep running.
This was very helpful. I had no clue that this could be done. I dedicated a PC to running the Power Point presentation for our lobby. Having it run on the TV via USB will free up that resource for us.
I haven’t dug into it yet, but is there a way to make it loop?
I keep getting this audio data not supported. Is there anyway to remove this?

How to make a PowerPoint presentation into a video, so that it plays automatically without you having to click through each slide

PowerPoint is an incredibly useful tool for giving presentations. With the click of a button, you can control how fast or slow you want the slides to progress, and when other extras like music or animation come in.
However, if it is not your intention to give your presentation live and in person, this fact can be more of a hindrance than a help. If you intended, for example, to email it to your coworkers, or to post it online, it might be more helpful to simply have your PowerPoint be a video that people can press play on and simply sit back and watch.
Luckily, this is something that the Microsoft Office team has already thought of, and they make it just as easy to save your PowerPoint as a video as it is to save it regularly.
Check out the products mentioned in this article:

5. Optional: If you want to use recorded narrations with timings, you can choose to use ones that already exist â if you have them â or choose to record them now, using the dropdown menu. Doing this will make whatever you record play over the video as it plays. If you don't want to use narrations, leave this setting and skip to step 6.
6. Choose how many seconds you want the video to spend on each slide. Make sure you account for the longest slide in the show, to make sure your audience has time to read everything.
7. Click "Create Video" to save the new PowerPoint video to your computer.

PowerPoint decks are great tools for showcasing and presenting a message, product, or data visualization, as viewers are more likely to digest content when it's in video format. Here's how to turn a PowerPoint into a video using PowerPoint for Microsoft 365, PowerPoint 2019, PowerPoint 2016, PowerPoint 2013, PowerPoint 2010, and PowerPoint for Mac.
How to Save PowerPoint as Video on Windows
After you create a presentation, convert your slides into attention-grabbing videos. The steps below show how to turn a PowerPoint file into a video. The result is a file that incorporates animation, narration, and other custom content included in the original PPT or PPTX file.
Follow these instructions to make a video from a PPT or PPTX file in PowerPoint on Windows operating systems:
Launch PowerPoint and open the presentation file you want to turn into a video. If that file is open, ensure that the latest version is saved by selecting File > Save or by selecting Save on the Quick Access Toolbar.
Select File > Export .
If you use PowerPoint 2010, select Save & Send .
Select Create a Video .
Choose the video quality you want to use for your video slideshow. A high-quality screen resolution results in a larger file size. A low-quality output results in a smaller file.
Specify whether or not to include recorded timings and narrations in the video. If the presentation contains timings or narrations, select Record Timings and Narrations . These narrations can include a thumbnail image of yourself, recorded on your webcam.
To specify the amount of time that each slide displays, enter the time in the Seconds spent on each slide text box.
After you make your choices, select Create Video .
In the Save As dialog box, choose a location to save your new video file and enter a filename.
Select the Save as type drop-down arrow and choose either MPEG-4 Video ( MP4 ) or Windows Media Video ( WMV ). Select Save to start the video creation process.
The progress of your video creation displays in the status bar. This may take a few minutes or up to several hours to complete, depending on the size and complexity of the video being created.
How to Save PowerPoint as Video on macOS
Follow these instructions to make a video from a PPT or PPTX file in PowerPoint for macOS.
This feature is available to Microsoft 365 subscribers who have the latest desktop version of PowerPoint.
Launch PowerPoint and open the presentation file that you want to turn into a video. If that file is open, ensure that the latest version is saved by selecting File > Save or by selecting Save from the Quick Access Toolbar.
A pop-out window appears that contains multiple options. In the File Format drop-down menu, select either MP4 or MOV .
Choose a video quality option. Those with the highest quality and screen resolutions (for example, Presentation Quality ) result in larger file sizes. A low-quality output creates a smaller file. This quality selection also dictates the video's width and height, shown below the Quality menu.
Choose whether or not to include recorded timings and narrations in the video. If available, select the Use Recorded Timings and Narrations check box to enable this content in your video.
To increase or decrease the timing for the slides, select the up or down arrow next to Seconds spent on each slide without a set timing . By default, a PowerPoint video spends five seconds on a slide before transitioning to the next slide.
Select Export .

How to convert PPT to a Video Format
07.20.20 âą #powerpointtips.
If you want to send your PowerPoint presentation to someone or publish it on social media, it is usual to turn it into a video. But if you donÂŽt know how this works, you are perfectly right here!
Basically, there are two different types of timings. You can choose between fixed and personalized timings. So you can also determine how long a single slide is displayed and control it yourself. The detailed instructions are explained in the following blog.
Fixed slide timings
This option sets a fixed time for all slides, for example each slide will be visible for 5 seconds before the next one is displayed. If you have included animations in your presentation and they last longer than the set duration of the slides, the animation will still be played in full length, regardless of the set duration.
Step by Step Tutorial
- Click on File and go to Export .
- Then you select Create a video , still in the File tab.
- Click on the first drop-down-menu and pick the quality you prefer - usually Full HD .
- In the second drop-down-menu below you can set if recorded timings or narrations are included in the video.
- Select the duration of the slides e.g. 5 sec and then select Create video .
- In the last step set the storage location and a file name and your PowerPoint is saved as a mp4 video file!
Custom slide timings
If you select this option, it is possible to determine your own the duration of the slides or add some extras.
- Click on the drop-down-menu and select the penultimate option called More commands .
- Click on Customize Ribbon , one above the current option.
- Go to the right windowYou and scroll down a little bit. There is the option Recording , which is the one you need to select. Go to Ok in order to confirm your setting.
- Now there is a new tab between View and Help with some handy functions you can quickly reach if you need them often.
- Here are some simple functions you can set for yourself, like if the video starts at the beginning or from the current slide or you can also insert audio or videos files and more handy stuff.
- But the special things there is, that you can customize your timings of the slides. That means there are not fix timings for each slide, just click through the slides while recording. So you have an individual tempo, you can draw sketches or determine if notes you have already written get displayed or not. If you choose in the Record Slide Show menu Record from Current Slide or the other option Record from Beginning has just one little difference.
A window will open, similar to the presenter view and you can click through your slides at your own pace and also add sketches or markers. Basically, this option is like screen recording. In the bottom bar you'll find two drawing tools with different thickness, different colors are available and also a camera with sound, so you can comment your slides for example. In the upper bar you start the recording and can also pause it if necessary. It is also possible to show or hide already written notes of a slide. With the settings on the far right you can set the camera or sound recording. In case your are unhappy with your recording of a slide - no problem at all, just remove it and try it again! If you are done, just stop the recording and export your video.
Now to the peculiar topic: How to convert my presentation into a video?
- If your are happy with your settings, go to Export to Video
- Click on the first drop-down-menu and pick the quality you prefer - usually Full HD.
- Select the duration of the slides, e.g. 5 sec .
- In the last step klick on create video and set the storage location and a file name for your video and your PowerPoint is saved as a video!
Useful Keyboard Shortcuts
How can I export a PowerPoint presentation as a video?

Table of contents.
Transform your presentations. Learn how to convert PowerPoint slides into engaging videos.
PowerPoint presentations (PPT) have long been a staple in business and educational settings, offering a visual way to convey information and engage audiences. However, there are times when you may want to go beyond the traditional slideshow format and create videos from your PowerPoint presentations. Converting your PowerPoint slides into videos can unlock a range of benefits and provide new opportunities for sharing your content. In this article, we will explore the reasons why you should consider PowerPoint presentations into videos and provide you with a step-by-step guide on how to do it effectively with the help of Speechify Video Studio.
Benefits of turning PowerPoint presentations into videos
In the digital age, the art of communication and content delivery has evolved, making way for more engaging and innovative methods. One such advancement is the transformation of traditional PowerPoint presentations into dynamic videos. This fusion not only enhances the viewer’s experience but also offers a myriad of benefits for the presenter and the audience alike. Videos breathe life into static slides, facilitating better retention, wider reach, and increased interactivity. Whether it’s for education, business, or marketing, here is a deeper look at how converting PowerPoint presentations into videos paves the way for a more immersive and impactful message delivery:
Increased accessibility
Videos provide a more accessible format for your content. People with visual impairments or those who prefer audio-based learning can benefit from video presentations that include narrations and voiceovers.
Wider distribution
Videos can be shared and distributed on multiple platforms and channels, such as websites, social media, video-sharing platforms, and email. This allows you to reach a larger audience and extend the reach of your presentation beyond traditional PowerPoint usage.
Enhanced engagement
Videos have the potential to engage viewers more effectively than static slides. With a video format, you can leverage animations, transitions, audio narration, and other multimedia elements to create a dynamic and visually appealing experience for your audience.
Improved visual storytelling
Converting a PowerPoint to a video format allows you to tell a visual story more effectively. You can synchronize your slides, animations, and audio to create a seamless and compelling narrative that enhances the understanding and retention of your content.
Portability and convenience
Videos are portable and can be easily shared and played on various devices without the need for specific software or compatibility issues. This makes it convenient for viewers to access your presentation on their preferred devices, whether it’s a desktop computer, mobile device, or smart TV.
Time-saving for viewers
Watching a video presentation allows viewers to passively consume the content without having to manually navigate through slides. They can simply press play and let the video guide them through the information, saving time and effort compared to interacting with a PowerPoint file.
Analytics and Insights
Video platforms often provide analytics and insights about viewer engagement, such as view counts, play duration, and audience demographics. This data can be valuable for assessing the impact of your presentation and refining your content or distribution strategy accordingly.
Optimize your PowerPoint Presentation
Before converting your PowerPoint into a video, it’s essential to optimize your presentation for the conversion process. Here are some tips to ensure a smooth transition:
- Simplify the content â Remove any excessive text or cluttered slides. Use concise bullet points and visually appealing graphics to convey your message effectively.
- Use appropriate fonts and colors â Choose fonts that are legible and visually appealing. Avoid using too many different fonts or colors that may be distracting or difficult to read.
- Optimize visuals for video format â Ensure that all images and visuals are high-resolution and properly sized for video playback. Avoid using images with complex details that may not be clear when converted into a video.

Key steps and considerations for turning PowerPoint into videos
Transforming static PowerPoint slides requires some pre-planning considerations. By following these steps and considerations, you can successfully convert your PowerPoint presentations into engaging and impactful videos:
- Maintain consistency â Ensure that your video presentation retains the same structure and flow as your original PowerPoint slides. Avoid rearranging or removing slides that are crucial to the overall narrative.
- Check video quality â Before sharing your video, review it to ensure that the visual and audio elements are of high quality. Verify that the animations, transitions, and timings appear smooth and error-free.
- Consider the file format â Depending on your target platform or intended use, you may need to convert your video into specific file formats. For example, if you plan to upload it as a YouTube video, MP4 video format is generally recommended.
- Be mindful of file size â Videos can be large files, so consider optimizing the file size to ensure smooth playback and easy sharing. Balance the quality and file size by adjusting the video settings during the conversion process.
- Leverage video platforms â Once you have your video, take advantage of video platforms like YouTube or other social media channels to maximize its reach. Upload your video presentation and optimize it with relevant keywords, descriptions, and tags to increase visibility.

How to add a video to a microsoft powerpoint presentation.
If a picture speaks a thousand words, a video speaks a million words!

Embedding videos versus linking to videos, supported video formats in powerpoint, how to insert a video into a powerpoint presentation, manage an embedded video's playback in powerpoint.
Videos can make presentations even more interesting or exciting. If you're looking to add a video to your Microsoft PowerPoint presentation, it's easy to do so. We'll show you how.
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.
Related: How to Send PowerPoint Presentations With an Embedded Video
If you link to a video, PowerPoint only adds a reference to that video in your presentation. The downside of this method is that you need to send the video file separately if you share your presentation with someone. We have written a guide on how to send PowerPoint presentations with videos , so check that out.
In this guide, we'll focus on embedding a video in your presentation so you don't have to worry about sending separate files. And, if you're looking to add a YouTube video to your presentation , there's a way to do that, too.

PowerPoint supports multiple video formats, including ASF, AVI, MP4, M4V, MOV, MPG, MPEG, and WMV. If your video is already in one of these formats, you can quickly add that to your presentation.
If your video is in another format, you can convert it to a supported format and then add it to your presentation.
Related: How to Use Handbrake to Convert Any Video File to Any Format
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.
At the top of the PowerPoint window, click the "Insert" tab.
In the "Insert" tab, under the "Media" section (which is to the extreme right side of the interface), click "Video."
You'll now see an "Insert Video From" menu. Here, select "This Device."
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.
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.
If you'd like to test the video, at the bottom-left corner of the video, click the play icon.
And you're all set.
Now that you have added a video to your presentation, you might want to change how it plays in your slides. In PowerPoint, you have multiple ways to change your video's playback.
To access these playback options, first, click your video in your presentation. Then, at the top of the PowerPoint window, click "Playback."
In the "Playback" tab, under the "Video Options" section, you will find various options to manage your video's playback.
For example, to change how your video starts to play in your presentation, click the "Start" drop-down menu and select one of these options:
- In Click Sequence : This plays your video in the click sequence. This means if you press the button for the next slide, your video will play.
- Automatically : This option automatically plays your video when the slide with your video opens.
- When Clicked On : Select this option to play your video only when you click it.
The other options are "Play Full Screen," which opens your video in full screen, and "Loop Until Stopped" that plays your video over and over again until you manually stop it.

How to embed a video in powerpoint.
Microsoft PowerPoint is a great tool to turn your presentation ideas into reality. But PowerPoint presentations are also a surefire way to bore your audience to death if you donât make your presentations engaging.
To get your audience hooked, adding video files to your presentations can be a good strategy as videos offer more engagement than most other content types.
In this article, you will learn how to embed a video in PowerPoint and the benefits of doing so.
How to Add a Video to PowerPoint from Your Hard Drive
Here are simple steps to include a video in a PowerPoint presentation:
Go to the Insert tab, and click on the Video tab.
When you click on the Video tab, you will get three options in the drop-down menu to insert video from â This Device, Stock Videos, and Online Videos.
Select Insert Video from This Device.
When you click on Insert Video from This Device, you will be prompted to find a video from your device. Locate the video file.
Click on the Insert tab, the video will be added to your presentation slide.
When you embed a hard drive video into PowerPoint presentations, you have multiple options to customize the video.
Select your video and click on the Video Format tab, you will get assorted options for video shape, video border, video effects, video size, and many more.
Also, you can add a poster frame to your video from this section.
Click on the Playback tab after selecting your video, you get options to trim video, set fad duration, and many more.
If you want to ensure that your video starts automatically, you can set it by visiting the In Click Sequence tab.
How to Add a YouTube Video to PowerPoint
The process to add YouTube videos to your PowerPoint slides is simple. In just a few clicks, you can embed a YouTube video into your PowerPoint slide.
Letâs explore the process.
Go to YouTube and choose the video you want to add to your presentation.
Click on the Share tab to copy the link to your video. If you want your video to start at a certain time, play the video and click on the Share tab at the time when you want it to be played. Check the Start At box below, and then copy the URL.
Click the Insert button and select the Video tab in your PowerPoint file. You will get three options to Insert a Video From. Click on Online Videos.

Click on the Insert button, and your video appears on your presentation slide.
Your linked video will be played from YouTube. Therefore, you need to have an internet connection for video play in your presentation.

However, you will have most options when you select the video and click on the Video Format tab to customize the video. You can add poster frames, change video shapes, and much more.
How to Embed a Vimeo Online Video into a PowerPoint Presentation
The process of adding a video from Vimeo or any other video platform to your presentation is like adding a YouTube video and takes just a few minutes.
The following are quick steps:
Visit Vimeo and pick the video you want to add to your PowerPoint deck. Then, click on the Share icon.
Copy the link to your video. Vimeo also allows you to pick a certain time to start video playback by setting time in the Start Video At box. Whatâs more, you can also select play automatically.
Go to the Insert tab and click Video. The Insert Video From pop-up menu appears. Click on Online Videos.
When you click on Online Video, a new window will open. Enter the copied address of the Vimeo video into the address bar, it will show the preview of the video.
Click on the Insert button, and your video will be added to your presentation slide.

Hey there, Microsoft 365 Insiders! We are Aparna Jethani, a Product Manager, and Rishabh Singh, a Product Designer, on the PowerPoint team. We are excited to let you know that you can now trim videos you inserted in your presentations in PowerPoint for the web.
Trim video in PowerPoint for the web
Using the new Trim Video command, you can edit the videos you inserted in your presentation to show only the most important and engaging parts, and keep your audience focused on what is relevant. You can trim videos using frame or timestamp level accuracy, and preview them and fine-tune them until you achieve the perfect and precise outcome.
To make it easier to access the feature, we have also added a dedicated Video tab in the ribbon. Th e tab contains all the commands related to adjusting and formatting your videos, such as changing the video style, arrangement and more.
How it works
- Open an existing presentation or create a new one, and then insert a video.
- To begin trimming, select the video, and then either select Video > Trim Video on the new Video tab or right-click the video and select Trim Video .
3. To trim a video, drag and slide the end markers to set the start and end point for trimmed video segment marked by colored frames.
4. To preview the trimmed video, click the Play button.
5. When youâre done, click the Trim button to apply the trim selections.
Tips and Tricks
- Use a mouse cursor or keyboard shortcuts, to easily set the trim start and end points within the video frame timeline.
- Once you have dragged the markers to the desired frame, use the arrow keys to adjust timestamps (with standard HH:MM:SS:FF format) to trim and fine tune at precise points. Trimmed range duration is also displayed on the dialog for assistance.
- Use Play, Pause and Seek Bar time stamps to preview while you iterate. Additionally, use the Forward and Backward buttons for playback and forward.
Availability
The Trim Video feature is available to all PowerPoint for the web users.
NOTE: The Trim Video feature is only available for local and stock videos.

PowerPoint: How to Add Audio to Powerpoint on Windows 10 and Mac
Last Updated Thursday, August 31, 2023, at 5:00 am
Known Issue (August 14, 2023):
Some Windows 11 users are experiencing issues with PowerPoint exports when they are turned into .mp4 files. Visuals within the exported PowerPoint are appearing as flipped, or upside down. We are working with Microsoft to find a solution.
As a workaround, please convert the file as a .WMV file option and save it in My Media. The following are directions on how to convert a PowerPoint Presentation with audio to a .WMV file . For more support or to help troubleshoot issues, please reach out to the LTS Help Desk at [email protected] .
Microsoft PowerPoint offers features to record audio narration and export it as a video. PowerPoint records audio slide-by-slide rather than in one continuous file, allowing creators to easily re-record a slide if they make a mistake or need to change something later. Exporting as a video and uploading to Kaltura or Canvas for streaming is advantageous since it standardizes file types, doesn't require a download to view, is in a format that can be captioned, and allows viewers to navigate more efficiently.
A recent update has made the process comparable on a Mac, but the specifics vary. Windows 10 instructions follow; Mac users can click the link below to jump to the appropriate instructions.
- Instructions for Mac users
Windows 10 Instructions:
The following instructions explain how to add audio to your PowerPoint presentation on Windows 10 and export that PowerPoint as an MP4. The text instructions cover the same information as the embedded video below.
NOTE: If you have an older version of PowerPoint, you may need to update it to access the features described below. If you do not have PowerPoint, you can download it and other Microsoft Office products for free by going to office365.uwec.edu. If you have questions about updating or installing PowerPoint, contact the LTS Help Desk at [email protected] or 715-836-5711.
- Design your PowerPoint TIP: Use images and limit text to better engage viewers/listeners.
- Click Record Slide Show NOTE: Audio may start recording automatically if you have an older version of PowerPoint. It will still work, but this version offers reduced functionality.
- Record narration and avoid reading text on the slide out loud to viewers. Click the blue Replay button to listen to the recorded audio and ensure it was recording.
- Press [Escape] or the âXâ button located in the top right of the screen when the audio recordings are finished. You will see a speaker icon on slides that have audio.
- Select Export (steps 10-14 are shown in screenshot below).
- Select Create a Video .
- Optional: Select Full HD (1080p) for the video quality; it is unlikely a higher quality is needed.
- Select Use Recorded Timings and Narrations.
- Follow prompt/pop-up window to save the video in a memorable location.
- How to upload and share with Kaltura (Instructors should use Kaltura. Students will need to use it if the file is over 500 MB, which a PowerPoint probably won't be and they can use Canvas.)
- How to upload and share in a Canvas assignment (students)
- How to upload and share in a Canvas discussion (students) - the instructions refer to the "rich content editor" which is just the features in the top of the discussion post reply.
Elaboration on the Recording Features:
- Timing Feature â there is a rolling time feature for the individual slide and the overall presentation. Allows the speaker/presenter to monitor how long they are talking.
- Microphone Feature - Click on Settings and select Microphone and then the specific device to set up before recording.
- Replay Feature - Use to check that the audio is recording properly before starting additional slides.
- Clear Feature - Select Clear to delete/re-record audio.
- Donât set the camera to record - Make sure this button has a diagonal slash through it to avoid the problem.
Mac Instructions:
The following instructions will teach you how to add audio to your PowerPoint presentation on a Mac and export that PowerPoint as an MP4. The text instructions cover the same information as the video embedded below.
NOTE: It is essential to have the Office 365 version of PowerPoint or you will not be able to save your PowerPoint as a video. If necessary, you can download it and other Microsoft Office products for free by going to office365.uwec.edu. If you have questions about updating or installing PowerPoint, contact the LTS Help Desk at [email protected] or 715-836-5711.
- TIP: Use images and limit text to better engage viewers/listeners.
- Click Record Slide Show
- TIP: Before you begin recording your full presentation, do a practice recording to verify your microphone and other settings are correct.
- NOTE: Avoid reading the text written directly on the slide; use the slide to elaborate on the material being presented.
- Stop speaking for a second to prevent the audio from cutting out as slides change. Resume speaking when the time starts moving again under the Current slide timing feature to the left of the recording button.
- Click Stop or Pause at the top of the screen and then End Show in the top left corner when all the audio recordings have been finished.
- Check the audio by clicking on Play from Start under the Slide Show tab or the presenter mode icon at the bottom of the screen.
- Edit the name of the file and where you would like to save the video following PowerPoint's prompts.
- Click Export
- Upload your mp4 video to Kaltura or Canvas to share it:

How to Embed a YouTube Video in PowerPoint
We show you how to embed a YouTube video in PowerPoint so that you can spice up your presentations and impress colleagues.
Table of Contents:
It can be difficult to keep an audienceâs attention during a lengthy presentation. In fact, 4 out of 5 professionals admit to shifting their focus away from the presenter during the last presentation they attended. One way to combat this is interactive elements. You can embed a YouTube video in PowerPoint to break up long stints of talking and create a more fun environment. Though you can add a plain hyperlink to your presentation to open in the browser, that doesnât look particularly professional. Instead, it makes sense to embed your video in PowerPoint so you can play it directly from the application. As an added benefit, the videoâs thumbnail will appear for a more beautiful design. In this guide we show you how to embed a YouTube video in PowerPoint using two methods: its embed code and a URL. Both will give more or less the same results, so we recommend the latter unless you have a specific reason.
How to Embed a YouTube Video in PowerPoint Using Code
Embedding a YouTube video using its embed code is slightly more technical but offers additional customization options. This method is especially useful for those working with older versions of PowerPoint.
How to Insert a YouTube Video in PowerPoint Using a URL
You can speed up the process to embed video in PowerPoint from YouTube by using just its URL rather than the embed code. This should work so long as you have a modern version of PowerPoint.
FAQ â Frequently Asked Questions About Videos in PowerPoint
Will embedded youtube videos in powerpoint work without an internet connection.
Embedded YouTube videos require an active internet connection to stream content from YouTubeâs servers. If you plan to present in a location without internet, consider downloading the video (if permitted by copyright) and embedding the file directly into your PowerPoint presentation.
Can I embed a private YouTube video into my PowerPoint presentation?
Private YouTube videos cannot be embedded directly. For a video to be embeddable in PowerPoint, it must be either public or unlisted. If you are the owner of the video, you can change its privacy settings on YouTube to âUnlistedâ , which allows embedding while not making the video publicly searchable.
How can I make an embedded video autoplay when its slide comes up during the presentation?
To make an embedded YouTube video autoplay in PowerPoint, first embed the video into your slide. Then, right-click on the video, select âPlaybackâ , and then choose âAutomaticallyâ under âStartâ . This setting ensures the video begins playing as soon as the slide is displayed without requiring a manual play action.
Is there a way to loop an embedded YouTube video in PowerPoint?
Direct looping of embedded YouTube videos within PowerPoint is not supported. An alternative would be to set the video to loop on YouTubeâs platform before embedding, but this requires the loop setting to be available and set on YouTube. Another approach is to edit your video to include the repeat content and upload it as a new video for embedding.
What versions of PowerPoint support embedding YouTube videos?
Embedding YouTube videos is supported from PowerPoint 2010 onwards. Newer versions, such as PowerPoint 2019 and PowerPoint for Microsoft 365, provide enhanced support and a more user-friendly experience for embedding videos from YouTube using both the URL and embed code methods.
How can I embed videos from Vimeo or other services into PowerPoint?
For services like Vimeo, you can use the embed code provided by the video platform. Go to âInsertâ > âVideoâ > âOnline VideoâŠâ in PowerPoint and paste the embed code. Compatibility and support can vary, so itâs recommended to test the embedded video before the presentation.
Can I insert videos from sources other than YouTube using these methods?
The URL method described in the tutorial is tailored for YouTube. However, PowerPoint allows embedding videos from other services through their embed codes. Always check the specific platformâs guidelines for embedding content and test the video in PowerPoint to ensure compatibility.
If I embed a YouTube video, will viewers of the presentation need a YouTube account to watch it?
Viewers do not need a YouTube account to watch an embedded YouTube video within PowerPoint. The requirement is for the video to be publicly accessible or unlisted. Private videos cannot be viewed without logging into the account that has access.
Can I control the playback volume of an embedded YouTube video in PowerPoint?
The embedded YouTube videoâs volume controls are managed through YouTubeâs built-in player controls during playback. PowerPoint does not offer separate volume control for embedded YouTube videos, so adjustments must be made using the video playerâs volume slider or the computerâs volume settings.
What should I do if the âOnline Videoâ option is not available in my PowerPoint?
If the âOnline Videoâ option is missing, itâs likely that you are using an older version of PowerPoint that doesnât support this feature. Consider updating to a newer version. As an alternative, you can download the video and insert it into your presentation as a local file through âInsertâ > âMediaâ > âVideoâ > âThis Deviceâ .
Is it possible to embed a YouTube video so it plays in fullscreen automatically in PowerPoint?
PowerPoint doesnât support automatic fullscreen playback for embedded videos. You would have to set the video to fullscreen manually during presentation mode or adjust the video frame size to fill the slide as a workaround.
Can I customize the playback quality of an embedded YouTube video?
The playback quality of an embedded YouTube video in PowerPoint is determined automatically by YouTube based on factors like internet speed. Itâs not possible to preset a specific playback quality within PowerPoint. Viewers can manually adjust the quality during playback using the YouTube player controls if needed.
What happens if the YouTube video I embedded is removed from YouTube?
If an embedded YouTube video is removed from the platform or if the videoâs URL changes, it will no longer be accessible in your PowerPoint presentation. Youâll see a blank frame or an error message in place of the video. Itâs advised to regularly check embedded videos for availability, especially before important presentations.
How can I add annotations or comments to an embedded video in PowerPoint?
PowerPoint doesnât support adding annotations directly to embedded online videos. As a workaround, you can overlay shapes, text boxes, or comments on or around the video frame on your slide. These can serve as annotations and are helpful for providing additional context or notes related to the video content.
Can an embedded video in PowerPoint be used as a clickable link to open a webpage?
While the video itself cannot be directly used as a hyperlink in PowerPoint, you can overlay a transparent shape or icon over the video frame and add a hyperlink to that shape. This setup can then direct users to a webpage or another slide within the presentation when clicked, effectively making the video or its part act as a clickable link.
