The poster frame is exactly what I needed to know. Thank you. Otherwise I was getting a splash of the first frame before the video started later on. Now it starts right from what the audience is seeing. Perfect.

[@GCFLearnFree]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@Dani1DTomlinson]

Very helpful, thanks. I downloaded a video, but the subtitles I wanted didn't appear on the video one can find on CZcams. Any suggestions?

[@GCFLearnFree]

We guess that would depend on the program used. With CZcams, the subtitles automatically appear.

Great video and easy to follow. I use Powerpoint 2016, I can insert an MP4 video and it plays fine, but I can't see the play buttons or timeline at the bottom of the video. Any idea what's going on here?

[@GCFLearnFree]

PowerPoint sometimes hides the Play button to reduce clutter, but normally it will appear when you move the mouse over the video. Hope this helps!

[@veelyves643]

Hi There I am in a need to export a PP slide with a video inside but I do not know how to export it in a video format with the same length of the video in the slide. Thank you for your help

[@Hajra377]

It helped alot. Thanks for uploading

[@GCFLearnFree]

Glad it helped!

[@pacochuquiure7807]

Thank you for your video! Do you know how to save the inserted video so when you re-open it the file is still there? thxs

[@GCFLearnFree]

If you're adding a video from your computer, it will be embedded within your file as soon as you add it, so there's nothing else you need to do. If you're adding an online video, you'll need an active Internet connection to play it. Hope this helps!

[@jgbotwinick49]

Great Video! Is there a way to add both audio and video in the same slide and have them both start automatically, with the video being muted?

[@GCFLearnFree]

Yes! To play audio automatically, select the audio clip, go to the Playback tab, click the Audio Options drop down menu, and select Automatically.
To mute video, select the video, go to the Playback tab, click the Volume icon, and select Mute.
To play it automatically, click the drop down menu next to Start, and select Automatically.
Hope this helps!

How do I add my face to a video, when I record so you can see me and the video I am presenting? Thanks.

[@GCFLearnFree]

If you are looking to show a video of you presenting within your presentation, you'll need to record yourself presenting, then upload that video to your presentation. You can follow our text-based instructions here: www.gcflearnfree.org/powerpoint2016/inserting-videos/1/. We hope it helps!

[@erikcooper4750]

What format do the videos have to be in to add them?

[@GCFLearnFree]

PowerPoint 2016 allows for several types of media files to be uploaded, but one of the more common file types is MP3/MP4. You can read our text-based lesson for more information: www.gcflearnfree.org/powerpoint2016/inserting-videos/1/. We hope it helps!

[@BrianMarcWhittaker]

That if you save to PDF? Does the video sill play? Do voiceovers still work?

[@GCFLearnFree]

Videos and voiceovers aren’t compatible with the PDF format. If your presentation relies on these features, you would need to either share the PowerPoint file itself or export it as a different format (for example, you can export the presentation as a video).
