Go to the top menu and select the Insert tab. This is where you’ll find options to add various media to your slide, including videos.

From the dropdown list under Insert, click on Video. This is the option used to add an MP4 or any video file to your presentation.

After the video appears on your slide, click and drag the corners or edges to resize it. Position it by dragging the video to the desired location on your slide.

6. Change Video Playback Settings to Play Automatically or On Click

Right-click the video and choose Format options. Adjust the playback settings to decide if the video should play automatically when you reach the slide or only when clicked.

7. Click the Present Button to Preview the Slide and Check the Video
