There are different ways to do it, and things can go wrong any time as well. Here are the best ways you can present videos on PowerPoint like a pro.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Depending on what version of PowerPoint you\u2019re using, you can either insert an embedded video or link to a video file stored on your computer, or even an online video. We\u2019ll be using the latest version of PowerPoint in this article.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But before we move on, if you prefer a video, I&#8217;ve made a video on this topic on the SlideBazaar YouTube channel. It&#8217;s pretty easy to follow along, and you will find it useful.

He creates content and campaigns for SlideBazaar, a global platform that offers PowerPoint templates and tools used by professionals across industries. His work spans newsletters, long-form articles, product messaging, SEO projects, and video scripts. All centered around one goal. Helping people communicate ideas more clearly through better-structured presentations. Instead of treating slides as decoration, Swathi focuses on narrative flow, visual hierarchy, and the logic behind each frame. Born in Kerala and raised in Muscat, he brings a performer\u2019s instinct to his work, shaped by years spent traveling and playing music. That background influences how he thinks about presentations. Not as static documents, but as staged experiences that unfold in time. Today, he writes, teaches, and builds content that helps professionals turn messy ideas into sharp, confident slides that actually hold attention.","sameAs":["https:\/\/slidebazaar.com\/","https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/skpswat","https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/swatkp\/reels\/","https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/swatkp\/"],"honorificPrefix":"Mr","birthDate":"1995-01-02","gender":"male","knowsAbout":["presentations","PowerPoint"],"knowsLanguage":["English","Hindi","Malayalam"],"jobTitle":"Content Specialist","worksFor":"SlideBazaar","url":"https:\/\/slidebazaar.com\/blog\/author\/swathi\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/slidebazaar.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15747","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/slidebazaar.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/slidebazaar.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/slidebazaar.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/15"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/slidebazaar.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=15747"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/slidebazaar.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15747\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":18049,"href":"https:\/\/slidebazaar.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15747\/revisions\/18049"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/slidebazaar.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/15852"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/slidebazaar.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=15747"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/slidebazaar.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=15747"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/slidebazaar.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=15747"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
