Did you know you can embed a video clip into a Powerpoint slide?

I didn’t know this was possible, until I saw a presentation the other day with a video in it.  It added a really professional edge and made the message all the more powerful.  I could almost here the intake of breath from the audience…as they said “oooooo.”

If you have a video that gets your message across, it’s simple to embed  a video clip in a Powerpoint slide.

Imagine you have a video file ready to go…what do you do next?

Here is the Insert tab to access this function.
