Posted on 21st June 2023
Video is a powerful way to enliven a Microsoft PowerPoint presentation. You can use video to demonstrate a process, show off a product, or simply add some visual interest to your slides. In this article, we’ll show you how to insert videos in Microsoft PowerPoint on Windows 11.
The first thing you’ll need to do is find a video file that you want to insert into your PowerPoint presentation. You can use a video file that is stored on your computer, or you can use a video file that is stored on a website such as YouTube.
Once you have found a video file that you want to insert, open Microsoft PowerPoint and create a new presentation. Click on the “Insert” tab, and then click on the “Video” icon.
You will see two options for inserting video into your PowerPoint presentation: “Insert video from file” and “Insert video from website”.
If you want to insert a video file that is stored on your computer, click on the “Insert video from file” option. Then, use the “Browse” button to locate the video file on your computer. Once you have located the video file, click on the “Insert” button.
If you want to insert a video file that is stored on a website, such as YouTube, click on the “Insert video from website” option. Then, paste the URL of the video into the “Video URL” field. Once you have pasted the URL of the video, click on the “Insert” button.
Your video will now be inserted into your PowerPoint presentation. You can use the “Play” button to preview the video, and you can use the “Pause” button to stop the video.
When you are ready to start the video during your PowerPoint presentation, click on the “Play” button. The video will start playing from the beginning.
If you want the video to start playing from a specific point, such as the middle or the end, you can use the “Seek” slider to choose the starting point for the video.
You can also use the “Volume” slider to adjust the volume of the video.
Once the video has started playing, you can use the “Pause” button to pause the video. You can also use the “Stop” button to stop the video.
If you want to remove the video from your PowerPoint presentation, click on the “Delete” button.
Older versions of PowerPoint may have trouble playing videos in some formats. You can try downloading a free video converter like Handbrake to convert your video into a format that PowerPoint can play.
Once you have your video in a compatible format, open PowerPoint and go to the slide where you want to insert the video. Then, click the “Insert” tab and click “Video” in the “Media” group.
In the “Insert Video” window that appears, select the video you want to insert and click “Insert.” The video will be inserted onto your slide.
You can then resize and move the video around on the slide as needed. To play the video, click the “Play” button that appears in the bottom-left corner of the video.
You can also add audio to your PowerPoint presentation by clicking the “Insert” tab and clicking “Audio” in the “Media” group. Then, select the audio file you want to insert and click “Insert.”
The audio will be inserted onto your slide and will start playing automatically when you view the slide. You can click the “Play” button to pause and resume playback, or click the “Stop” button to stop playback.
You can also adjust the volume of the audio by clicking the “Volume” button and selecting a level.
If you want to add a video from YouTube, Vimeo, or another website, click the “Insert” tab and click “Video” in the “Media” group. Then, click “Online Video.”
In the “Insert Video” window that appears, paste the URL of the video you want to insert and click “Insert.” The video will be inserted onto your slide and will start playing automatically.
You can also add a video from your computer by clicking the “Insert” tab and clicking “Video” in the “Media” group. Then, click “Video on My PC.”
In the “Insert Video” window that appears, select the video you want to insert and click “Insert.” The video will be inserted onto your slide and will start playing automatically.
If you’re using Microsoft PowerPoint on Windows 11, there are a few ways to insert videos. You can insert a video from your computer, or from a video sharing site like YouTube.
To insert a video from your computer, click the Insert tab, then click the Video button in the Media group.
In the Insert Video dialog box, select the video you want to insert, then click the Insert button.
To insert a video from a video sharing site, click the Insert tab, then click the Online Video button in the Media group.
In the Insert Video dialog box, paste the URL of the video you want to insert, then click the Insert button.
You can also insert a video by dragging it from your computer or a video sharing site and dropping it onto your PowerPoint slide.
Once you’ve inserted your video, you can use the playback controls in the Video Tools ribbon to play, pause, or stop the video. You can also use the trimming tools to edit the video, or the drawing tools to add annotations.
When you have the video file you want to insert into your PowerPoint presentation, open PowerPoint and go to the slide where you want to insert the video. Then, click the “Insert” tab at the top of the window. In the “Media” section of the “Insert” tab, click the “Video” button. A drop-down menu will appear. Click “Video on My PC”.
The “Insert Video” window will open. Click the “Browse” button. A file explorer window will open. Find the video file you want to insert into your PowerPoint presentation and click “Open”. The video file’s name and location will appear in the “File name” field in the “Insert Video” window.
Click the “Insert” button. The video will appear on your PowerPoint slide. You can resize the video by clicking and dragging one of the corners of the video. You can also move the video around on the slide by clicking and dragging the video.
To play the video, click the “Play” button in the video’s controls. The video will start playing. To stop the video, click the “Stop” button in the video’s controls.
