I’ll click “Close” and go back to my presentation. In this case I wasn’t able to compress the videos a lot more, but it’s a good practice to always see if you can compress your videos. I’ll click “Close” and then I’ll click “Compress Media” and select “Internet Quality” to see if I can reduce the size of my videos even more while keeping a quality that is sufficient for the Internet. I can see that the second video in my presentation was optimized.

This way PowerPoint will make sure that the video format is supported for viewing online. To make sure these videos are in the proper format I’ll click “FILE” and then “Optimize Compatibility.” The videos should be in an MP4 format for them to play properly online. The videos can’t be too large for online presentations. In this presentation I have two videos, both of them are rather short so they should be ok.

Optimizing videos for online view (01:10) In PowerPoint 2013 Microsoft has introduced support for videos so now you can play videos with audio streamed over the Internet. In the previous version of PowerPoint you were not able to show videos online, they would just appear as still images. My presentation contains slides with text, images, animations and videos. Here I have a presentation about our company and the services we offer, that I’m going to present over the Internet to a prospective client during our phone conference.īefore our phone conference I want to prepare my slides for the online presentation. Overview of the presentation to present online (00:31) Anyone who has a browser and an Internet connection who has been invited to the meeting can join.

To use it all you need is a registered Microsoft Account.

In Microsoft PowerPoint 2013 you can share your slides over the Internet using a free service called “Office Presentation Service”. More and more often you need to present to people who aren’t physically in the room.
