Linked or Embedded Videos
This lesson looks at
two methods for adding a video to a PowerPoint presentation: Insert
from a file on your computer or link an Internet Website,
such as YouTube.
When you
insert a video from a file on your computer, this will create
an embedded video. It will be included in the
PowerPoint presentation. If the video is large, the size of the
PowerPoint presentation will be large as well.
When you
add a hyperlink to a video that is on a website the video will not be added to your slide, just the
link to it. So the size of the presentation will not increase. However, the link only works if there is an online connection.
