Embed a Video in PowerPoint without Linking

You can Embed a Video in PowerPoint without a link …. but, when you launch the video it will use your local video player.  It’s not ideal, but it will save you the risk  of the Video not playing when you email it.

How to Embed a Video in PowerPoint as an Object:

Insert > Object > Create from file

In PowerPoint 2007, click the object button

Photobucket

Then, click the radial button next to “Create from File”, select the file on your computer, and then click ok.

Photobucket

When the object is inserted, you will need to activate it using Custom Animation.  Click Custom Animation > Add Effect > Object Actions > Activate Contents

Photobucket
