Both options support the following file formats (as of Microsoft PowerPoint Office 365):<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Windows video file (ASF, AVI)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>MP4 video file (MP4, M4V, MOV)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Movie file (MPG, MPEG)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Adobe Flash Media (SWF)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Windows Media video file (WMV)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Depending on your PowerPoint version, you can embed videos in PowerPoint or simply insert a link to a video saved on your computer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With <strong>embedded videos<\/strong>, the video is saved directly with your presentation, greatly increasing the size of your PowerPoint file. A linked video does not appear directly as a video file in your PowerPoint presentation and thus does not require extra storage

Over the last few years, smartphones and social media apps like Snapchat and Instagram have changed user behavior, <strong>making vertical videos fashionable.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>&nbsp;<\/strong>Companies that want to cultivate<strong> a fresh brand image and appeal to younger target groups should jump on this trend<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Advantages of vertical videos &nbsp;<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Because young people have grown up with social media and smartphones, vertical videos resonate better with younger audiences. <strong>Vertical videos are smartphone friendly, making them more suitable for mobile user groups and providing companies with even more ways to reach their audience<\/strong>. What&#8217;s more, vertical videos are persuasive and authentic. The <strong>story format found on many social media platforms has a more direct and honest effect on young people than classic videos<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Vertical videos also appear <strong>more innovative<\/strong> than horizontal videos and because of this, are <strong>more likely to grab the average audience&#8217;s attention<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Geotags, augmented reality content<\/strong>, etc., just <strong>work and look better in vertical videos<\/strong>. That&#8217;s partly because the same target groups that use these technologies use vertical videos.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-spacer.kt-block-spacer-_fb3c10-20 .kt-block-spacer{height:20px;}.wp-block-kadence-spacer.kt-block-spacer-_fb3c10-20 .kt-divider{border-top-width:1px;height:1px;border-top-color:#eee;width:100%;border-top-style:solid;}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-spacer aligncenter kt-block-spacer-_fb3c10-20\"><div class=\"kt-block-spacer kt-block-spacer-halign-center\"><hr class=\"kt-divider\"\/><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.presentationload.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Vertical_Videos_Pros_1.gif\" alt=\"Insert video into PowerPoint\" class=\"wp-image-9693\" title=\"\"><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-spacer.kt-block-spacer-_d3122c-03 .kt-block-spacer{height:20px;}.wp-block-kadence-spacer.kt-block-spacer-_d3122c-03 .kt-divider{border-top-width:1px;height:1px;border-top-color:#eee;width:100%;border-top-style:solid;}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-spacer aligncenter kt-block-spacer-_d3122c-03\"><div class=\"kt-block-spacer kt-block-spacer-halign-center\"><hr class=\"kt-divider\"\/><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Although there are some problems with vertical videos on horizontal screens, they can be <strong>skillfully showcased in classic, horizontal presentations.

Many presentation slides are too text-heavy while some content can&#8217;t be optimally displayed on static PowerPoint slides. A video can <strong>support you when showing certain processes and changes, like financial growth<\/strong>. A short <strong>intro video to your company presentation<\/strong> will grab your audience and pique their interest in your presentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Videos<strong> create variety and break up the monotony of conventional slide presentations<\/strong>. Adding <strong>visual stimuli <\/strong>throughout your presentation is a great way to hold your audience&#8217;s attention, especially over a longer period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A <strong>video creates new excitement<\/strong>, can <strong>vividly underscore your message<\/strong> and will stick with your audience long after the presentation is finished. Videos have the power to <strong>create strong emotions and deeper insights than pure text content<\/strong>. This is true for digital content marketing and, of course, presentations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Need help inserting videos or looking for general advice for your PowerPoint presentation?<\/strong> Then get in touch with us at <a href=\"mailto:info@presentationload.com\">info@presentationload.com<\/a>.
