Linked or Embedded Videos

There are two methods for adding a video to a PowerPoint presentation: insert from a file on your computer or insert from an Internet Website, such as YouTube. Both of these options are called embedded, so the terms are confusing.

 

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 insert a video from a website, you will copy the link, or embed code. The video will not be added to your presentation, just the link to it, so the file size will not increase.
