Add an audio or video clip to slides

- [Instructor] You can insert video or audio clip into a PowerPoint presentation from a file on your computer, and even make it play automatically when the slide loads. Go to the Insert ribbon, to the Media section, then click on either audio or video. I want to insert a video clip, so I'll click on video, then I'll choose Video on my PC. Navigate to the file that you want, select it, and hit Insert. Then take a moment to format it. I can resize this video and move it around just like any graphic I might have on my slide. Then look for the Playback ribbon, which is only available when a video or audio clip is selected. Then go to the Start menu and decide how you want the clip to start. I want this video to play automatically when the slide loads, so I will select automatically. Then check to see that it works by playing your presentation. In my case, when that slide loads, the video will play automatically.
