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.
