Of course, you may have a video saved on your computer that you want to share.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That\u2019s a perfect option if you\u2019ve captured footage yourself or have footage from your company. You could also find videos online. But be careful here &#8211; many clips are copyrighted, so always be sure you have permission to use an online video in your PowerPoint slides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"850\" height=\"474\" src=\"https:\/\/elements.envato.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/autoplay_video_in_ppt.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-84542\" srcset=\"https:\/\/elements.envato.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/autoplay_video_in_ppt.jpg 850w, https:\/\/elements.envato.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/autoplay_video_in_ppt-300x167.jpg 300w, https:\/\/elements.envato.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/autoplay_video_in_ppt-768x428.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Browse the vast <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/elements.envato.com\/stock-video\/stock-footage\" target=\"_blank\">library of stock video clips<\/a> on Envato Elements for your next project.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A great option is to find a stock video from Envato Elements.

Be sure that you have the video selected when you do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the ribbon, you\u2019ll see a new tab: <strong>Playback<\/strong>. It\u2019s on the right side of the menu options, and it\u2019s highlighted in orange. Click <strong>Playback.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"850\" height=\"428\" src=\"https:\/\/elements.envato.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/powerpoint_play_video_automatically.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-84544\" srcset=\"https:\/\/elements.envato.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/powerpoint_play_video_automatically.jpg 850w, https:\/\/elements.envato.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/powerpoint_play_video_automatically-300x151.jpg 300w, https:\/\/elements.envato.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/powerpoint_play_video_automatically-768x387.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Click <strong>Automatically<\/strong> on the <strong>Start<\/strong> dropdown to play video in PowerPoint automatically, when you advance to a given slide.

For example, you can choose to loop a video until you manually stop it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What does this mean? Simply that the video will play over and over without prompting! It\u2019s useful if you\u2019re leaving your slides playing on a public display, for example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"850\" height=\"384\" src=\"https:\/\/elements.envato.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/powerpoint_video_play_automatically.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-84545\" srcset=\"https:\/\/elements.envato.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/powerpoint_video_play_automatically.jpg 850w, https:\/\/elements.envato.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/powerpoint_video_play_automatically-300x136.jpg 300w, https:\/\/elements.envato.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/powerpoint_video_play_automatically-768x347.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Optional features like <strong>Loop Until Stopped<\/strong> let you have a video play over and over.

Then you may have some questions! Here, we\u2019ve asked and answered some of the most common PowerPoint questions. These will help you decide whether to use PowerPoint today:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. How Do I Start Using PowerPoint?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">PowerPoint is easy to start using! And it works on a variety of platforms. For example, you can download and install PowerPoint on your Windows PC or macOS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Plus, mobile apps are available. And there\u2019s even an online version that you can use anywhere that you have an internet connection!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Can I Use Keynote Presentations in PowerPoint?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes! If you enjoy using Apple Keynote, you can save your presentations from that app for use in PowerPoint. Use the <strong>File &gt; Export To &gt; PowerPoint <\/strong>workflow outlined in <a href=\"https:\/\/business.tutsplus.com\/tutorials\/convert-keynote-to-powerpoint-pdf--cms-31926\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">this handy tutorial<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Can I Recover a Lost PowerPoint?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes! In many cases, you can recover unsaved PowerPoint files. This isn\u2019t a true failsafe, but there are <a href=\"https:\/\/business.tutsplus.com\/tutorials\/recover-unsaved-powerpoint--cms-93675\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">several techniques to try<\/a> if you\u2019ve lost a file. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. How Do I Reduce the Size of PowerPoint Presentations?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">PowerPoint presentations can quickly become very large files. That\u2019s especially true if your slide decks contain videos. Fortunately, there are several ways to reduce their size. For example, you can <a href=\"https:\/\/business.tutsplus.com\/tutorials\/how-to-reduce-your-powerpoint-ppt-file-size-way-down--cms-28709\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">compress images<\/a> or save them as .zip files.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. How Can I Successfully Conclude a PowerPoint Presentation?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Every PowerPoint presentation deserves a strong close. When you present to an audience, it\u2019s often the last impression that counts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You need to <a href=\"https:\/\/business.tutsplus.com\/tutorials\/how-to-end-powerpoint-presentations--cms-29733\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">make a strong impact<\/a> and ensure your message is remembered, and that actions are taken.
