the video reel button or click the arrow
under Video, and then click Video from file.
2. In the Insert Video dialog box, locate and

16.  PowerPoint will support QuickTime
(.mov, .mp4) and Adobe Flash (.swf) files
when you have installed the QuickTime and
Adobe Flash players.
 Linking vs. Embedding
◦ Linking a file means you must have the actual video
file saved with the presentation and the path must
stay the same. Your PowerPoint presentation file
size will be smaller.
