If you often interact with PowerPoint to make your presentations, then you’ll be happy to know that Microsoft has added a new feature.

While it has been possible to add videos to your presentation from online platforms like YouTube and Vimeo, PowerPoint didn’t support the incorporation of videos from a user’s own device.

Microsoft is now rolling out this long-requested feature to PowerPoint for web users. This means that you can nowinsert videos into your presentation directly from your computer.

To access this feature:

Note: Once the video appears in your slide, you can resize, move, or even apply shape effects to it.

It should also be noted that the maximum size of the video you can include in your presentation is 256MB. Microsoft also recommends a.mp4video file format for a better and quality experience.

Your internet connection also plays a major role and determines how fast you are able to insert a video into your PowerPoint presentation. In related news, users can also be able toconvert their presentations to animated GIFs.

For most of the kids of his age, the Internet was an amazing way to play and communicate with others, but he was deeply impressed by the flow of information and how easily you can find anything on the web.

Prior to founding Windows Report, this particular curiosity about digital content enabled him to grow a number of sites that helped hundreds of millions reach faster the answer they’re looking for.
