Creating a PowerPoint presentation with a video background isn’t as difficult as it might seem. Here’s a simple step-by-step guide on how to do it:
-
First, open your PowerPoint application and select the slide where you want the video background to appear.
-
Go to the ‘Insert’ tab in the main menu and select ‘Video’ from the dropdown menu. You’ll see two options: ‘Video on My PC’ and ‘Online Video’. If the video you want to use is saved on your device, select ‘Video on My PC’. If it’s an online video, select ‘Online Video’.
-
After selecting the video, a window will appear for you to adjust the video settings. You can adjust the start and end times, loop the video, and mute it if necessary.
-
Next, right-click the video and choose ‘Send to Back’ to place the video behind any text or images on your slide.
-
Now, you can add your content to the slide. Be sure to choose colors and fonts that are visible against the video background.
-
Once you’re satisfied with your slide, you can duplicate it to create more slides with the same video background, or you can repeat the process to use different video backgrounds on different slides.
Keep in mind that the video file will increase the overall size of your PowerPoint presentation. It’s also important to consider your audience’s attention span and possible distractions when using a video background. A video that is too flashy or busy might detract from the information being presented.
