如果您必须在工作或学校(work or school)举行演讲，您可能知道让您的演讲有吸引力以保持听众的注意力直到最后是多么重要。当您需要就某事提出观点时，视频可能就可以解决问题。PowerPoint 允许您在演示文稿中添加视频。例如，您可以嵌入计算机中的本地视频文件(video file)、YouTube 剪辑(YouTube clip)或其他网站的视频。以下是在Microsoft PowerPoint(Microsoft PowerPoint)演示文稿中嵌入任何视频的方法：
注意：(NOTE: )出于本文的目的，我们使用了Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2016。
如何将 PC 中的视频嵌入到 PowerPoint 演示文稿中
此方法允许您从您的计算机或您连接的其他计算机插入本地视频文件。您可以嵌入几乎任何类型的视频格式(video format)，从“.mp4”到“.avi”，再到“.mkv”或“.mov”。首先(First)，您需要打开PowerPoint 应用程序(PowerPoint app)并选择要添加视频的幻灯片。
接下来，单击或点击顶部功能区中的“插入”选项卡。(Insert )
现在，您需要转到位于功能区右侧的媒体部分。(Media )
单击或点击“媒体”部分中的“(Media )视频(Video )”按钮，将打开一个小菜单。按“我的 PC 上的视频”(Video on My PC" )选项以从您的 PC 嵌入视频。
文件资源管理器(File Explorer )将打开。搜索(Search)包含要插入演示文稿的视频的文件夹。找到视频文件(video file)后，您可以单击或点按插入。(Insert. )
现在，视频已嵌入到您的PowerPoint 演示文稿(PowerPoint presentation)中。您可以使用幻灯片上显示的视频播放器(video player)底部的按钮播放视频。如果您看不到按钮，请确保选择了视频。您可以拖动角来调整其大小，或单击并拖动(click and drag)以将其重新定位在幻灯片上。
视频被打包到您保存演示文稿的PPT 或 PPTX 文件(PPT or PPTX file)中，因此您无需担心将其与演示文稿一起发送。请记住，随着视频大小的增加，演示文稿的大小也会增加。如果您想保持演示文件(presentation file)小且易于传输，则不应嵌入很长的视频。
如何将YouTube 视频(YouTube video)嵌入到您的PowerPoint 演示文稿中(PowerPoint presentation)
PowerPoint 2016允许您在应用程序内搜索YouTube 上(YouTube)的视频并将它们直接添加到您的演示文稿中。为此，请选择要播放视频的幻灯片，然后转到功能区上的“插入(Insert )”选项卡。寻找媒体(Media )部分，然后按视频(Video )按钮。在显示的菜单中，选择在线视频(Online Video )选项。
现在，另一个窗口将打开，其中包含两个选项：YouTube和“来自视频嵌入代码”。("From a Video Embed Code.")
YouTube 徽标(YouTube logo)旁边有一个搜索栏(search bar)，您可以在其中输入要添加的视频的名称。单击(Click)或点击搜索(Search )按钮以显示搜索结果。
您需要做的下一件事是从结果列表中选择视频，然后按窗口底部的插入按钮。(Insert )
等待(Wait)视频被添加到您的PowerPoint 演示文稿(PowerPoint presentation)中。
您可以随意预览视频、调整大小或重新定位。
重要提示：在(IMPORTANT: )演示文稿交付(presentation delivery)期间，当您想要播放演示文稿中的视频时，请确保(Make sure)您已连接到 Internet 。
如何使用嵌入代码在PowerPoint 演示文稿(PowerPoint presentation)中嵌入视频
此选项允许您使用来自各种在线平台的嵌入代码将在线视频插入到您的演示文稿中。为此，首先选择要播放视频的幻灯片，然后转到功能区上的“插入(Insert )”选项卡。查找媒体(Media )部分，然后按视频(Video )按钮。在显示的菜单中，选择在线视频(Online Video )选项。
接下来，请确保您已从在线平台(online platform)复制了视频嵌入代码，您可以在该平台上找到要在演示文稿中使用的视频。例如，在您在YouTube 上(YouTube)观看的任何视频下，您需要按共享(Share )选项。然后，单击或点击嵌入(Embed )，以显示视频嵌入代码。
将嵌入代码粘贴到“来自视频嵌入代码”(From a Video Embed Code" )字段中，然后按字段右侧的插入按钮或键盘上的(Insert )Enter键。
等待(Wait)视频被插入到您的PowerPoint 演示文稿(PowerPoint presentation)中，您可以在其中播放它、调整它的大小或根据需要重新定位它。
这种方法的问题在于它只接受非常简单的嵌入代码，比如YouTube 上(YouTube)的那些。但是，它似乎不适用于来自Vimeo 或 Dailymotion(Vimeo or Dailymotion)等其他著名在线平台的视频。我们每次都尝试过，但都失败了。
重要提示：在(IMPORTANT: )演示文稿交付(presentation delivery)期间，当您想要播放演示文稿中的视频时，请确保(Make sure)您已连接到 Internet 。
结论
如您所见，Microsoft PowerPoint允许您使用多种方法在演示文稿中嵌入视频，任何用户都可以访问所有这些方法。您可以使用嵌入代码添加存储在 PC 上的视频或来自YouTube或其他平台的在线视频。(YouTube)试试这个功能，让我们知道它是如何工作的。此外，如果您对此主题有任何疑问，请随时在下面的评论中与我们分享。

NOTE: For the purpose of this article we used Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2016.
How to embed videos from your PC in your PowerPoint presentations
This method allows you to insert local video files from your computer or other computers you are connected to. You can embed almost any type of video format, from ".mp4", to ".avi", to ".mkv" or ".mov." First, you need to open the PowerPoint app and select the slide where you want to add the video.
Next, click or tap the Insert tab from the ribbon on the top.
Now, you need to go to the Media section, which is just at the right side of the ribbon.
Click or tap the Video button in the Media section and a small menu opens. Press the "Video on My PC" option to embed a video from your PC.
File Explorer will open. Search for the folder containing the video that you want to insert into your presentation. Once you've found the video file, you can click or tap Insert.
Now, the video is embedded into your PowerPoint presentation. You can play the video, using the buttons at the bottom of the video player that is shown on the slide. If you can't see the buttons make sure the video is selected. You can drag the corners to resize it, or click and drag to reposition it on your slide.
The video is packed into the PPT or PPTX file where you save your presentation, so you don't need to worry about sending it along with the presentation. Remember that as the size of the video increases, the size of the presentation will increase too. You should not embed very long videos if you want to keep the presentation file small and easily transferable.
How to embed a YouTube video into your PowerPoint presentation
PowerPoint 2016 allows you to search for videos on YouTube within the app and add them directly to your presentation. To do this, select the slide where you want the video and then go to the Insert tab on the ribbon. Look for the Media section and press the Video button. In the menu that is displayed, choose the Online Video option.
Now, another window opens with two options: YouTube and "From a Video Embed Code."
Next to the YouTube logo, there is a search bar where you can type the name of the video that you want to add. Click or tap the Search button to display the search results.
The next thing you need to do is to select the video from the list of results and press the Insert button on the bottom of the window.
Wait for the video to be added to your PowerPoint presentation.
You can preview the video, resize or reposition it just as you like.
IMPORTANT: Make sure that you are connected to the internet when you want to play the video from your presentation, during your presentation delivery.
How to embed a video in your PowerPoint presentation using an embed code
This option allows you to insert online videos into your presentations using embed codes from all kinds of online platforms. To do this, first select the slide where you want the video and then go to the Insert tab on the ribbon. Look for the Media section, and press the Video button. In the menu that is displayed, choose the Online Video option.
Next, make sure that you have copied the video embed code from the online platform where you found the video that you want to use in your presentation. For example, under any video you watch on YouTube, you need to press the Share option. Then, click or tap Embed so that the video embed code will be displayed.
Paste the embed code in the "From a Video Embed Code" field and press the Insert button on the right side of the field or the Enter key on your keyboard.
Wait for the video to be inserted into your PowerPoint presentation, where you can play it, resize it or reposition it as you like.
The problem with this method is that it accept only very simple embed codes, like those on YouTube. However, it doesn't seem to work with videos from other famous online platforms like Vimeo or Dailymotion. We tried and failed each time.
IMPORTANT: Make sure that you are connected to the internet when you want to play the video from your presentation, during your presentation delivery.
