Embedding Videos

How do you embed videos into powerpoint? That way, when i share my presentation the person recieving it can watch the videos also?
Many thanks, Alex.

RE: Embedding Videos

Hi Alexandra

Thank you for your question.

There are a few reasons why people won't be able to see your videos when you send the video to them with a PowerPoint presentation.

There is a quite informative tutorial on this page:
http://www.playsforcertain.com/tutorial.htm

Video files will be linked to (rather than embedded in) presentations by default, because of their size. Also there are only certain types of video files that are compatible with PowerPoint (QuickTime isn't one of them).

I'm not sure if this will work or not, but once you have tested to ensure that the video plays properly in PowerPoint, you could try using the Pack for CD option in PowerPoint instead of zipping the folder (Office button - Publish - Package for CD).

Kind regards
Amanda

PowerPoint tip:

To copy an object on your page

To copy an object on your page quickly and easily instead of using cut & paste, try this instead.

Select the object you want to copy by clicking on it.

Hold down the "CTRL" key on the keyboard.

Click (with the left mouse button) and drag the object to the new position. Simple & quick.

Now try it again but press the "Shift" key at the same time as the CTRL key, this will keep the objects aligned. Great for making diagrams etc.
