⏭ Here's a playlist of all my videos on PowerPoint: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLlKpQrBME6xIKFhSxvoRzy5mrewPe1PcM

I am wanting to import both the audio AND video (after editing using a 3rd party tool). Can I import them the same way you describe in this video at the 10:55 mark?

Thank you Kevin!

One more thing to add is that you have to do it over the PP application.
I was confused as I couldn't make it work over the browser Power Point, but when I Ctrl F -ed it (control find), I was told that I had to transfer it, and make do properly instead.

This is awesome! thank you!!!!

This is so useful for my upcoming assessment, thank you so much!

Hey Kev, your videos are so valuable to me, thanks 🙂 I am wondering ? Can i import "text to voice" recordings into my Powerpoint presentations? I don't speak very well so this would help me. Many thanks for all your videos. Merry Christmas and have a great new year.

Hi Kevin… I want to know if we can attach 10 different audio to 10 different slides at once… Instead of attaching one by one… And if I need to start the audio automatically for all these slides (the default option is "on click", can I do it all the audios in one go… Instead of changing the option individually for every audio….

I have a video of a PowerPoint presentation I gave back in the late 90's. There was only one camera and it didn't catch any close ups of the PowerPoint slides. I do have the slides in a separate file. Can I add the PowerPoint slides to the video in the appropriate places while I'm talking? If I can, can you make a video on how?

Great video Thank you!

Just what I needed-Thank you Sir!

You're a lifesaver. Thank you!

If you're using the web based PP, "Record Audio" is not an option. PowerPoint for the web doesn't support recording a slide show. These tutorials should mention that. Would have saved me tons of time searching all over.
