How can I create a PowerPoint video loop?

Creating a PowerPoint video loop is a simple process that you can accomplish in a few steps. This allows your video to play continuously, creating an endless loop, perfect for presentations, booths, or other instances where you want the video to keep playing.

Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to do it:

  1. Insert the video: Navigate to the slide where you want the video to be. Go to the ‘Insert’ tab in the PowerPoint toolbar, click on ‘Video,’ then select ‘Video on My PC’ or ‘Online Video’ depending on the source of your video. Locate your video file and click ‘Insert’.
  2. Set the video to play automatically: Click on the video you just inserted to select it. Navigate to the ‘Playback’ tab in the PowerPoint toolbar, then in the ‘Video Options’ group, select ‘Automatically’ from the ‘Start’ drop-down menu.
  3. Loop the video: Still in the ‘Playback’ tab, check the ‘Loop until Stopped’ box in the ‘Video Options’ group. This will set the video to continuously loop until you manually stop it.

Remember, these settings will remain in effect until you change them, so if you want the video to play just once in a later presentation, you’ll need to go back into the ‘Playback’ settings and uncheck the ‘Loop until Stopped’ box.

Note: This guide is based on PowerPoint 2019 and the steps may vary slightly if you’re using an older or newer version of PowerPoint.
