Enjoy a PowerPoint presentation with a movie. Get a video from YouTube, put it in a slide and easily play the video.
Using PowerPoint
A PowerPoint presentation is a fun way to show other people something. Agenda items for a meeting of your association, for example. Or explanation about volunteering. You can even easily share vacation photos with family and friends in a PowerPoint. A video can make the presentation even more fun or clearer. Have you found a video on YouTube that fits perfectly into a presentation? Then easily put it in a slide. This can be done in PowerPoint for Microsoft 365 as well as in PowerPoint 2019.
