PowerPoint: Play video automatically - how it works
By default, inserted videos only start in PowerPoint after clicking the play button. In order to be able to play the video automatically, you have to make further settings. We give you instructions.
- First you need to insert the video into PowerPoint.
- Then click on the video window in the slide. The "video tools" are then displayed in the menu bar.
- Select the "Playback" tab. Among other things, you will find the "Start" options there, which you can select using the dropdown box.
- Click the drop-down box and choose "Automatic".
- The video will now play automatically as soon as you reach the corresponding slide in the presentation.
- If there are several videos in the presentation, repeat these steps for each video individually, since the setting is not applied to all videos.
