However, depending on the topic and setting, you might also make use of a video clip to express a point or concept. And the quickest way to make sure your video will play properly is to embed it into your presentation, and therefore the file. ![alexander-shatov-niUkImZcSP8-unsplash](https://www.inmotionnet.com/hs-fs/hubfs/alexander-shatov-niUkImZcSP8-unsplash.jpg?width=485&height=364&name=alexander-shatov-niUkImZcSP8-unsplash.jpg) It is very simple to do this!  You click on Insert, and choose Video and then Online Video. ![insert video](https://www.inmotionnet.com/hs-fs/hubfs/insert%20video.jpg?width=625&height=133&name=insert%20video.jpg) This will pop up a box that will allow you to put the URL of the video you are using (such as a YouTube clip). ![url](https://www.inmotionnet.com/hs-fs/hubfs/url.jpg?width=674&height=401&name=url.jpg) You input the URL, and then click Insert.  Then the video is embedded.  Which is nice because once embedded, if you are on the slide and click to move forward, it will start the video for you. So it's a simple trick, but it may just make your presentations a little bit better!!
