One of the great advantages of Power Point is the possibility of inserting videos in your presentations. This can be very useful for illustrating concepts, presenting products, showing research results, among other things.

To insert a video, simply click on the "Insert" tab and then on "Video". You can choose between inserting a video from your computer or a video from YouTube. If you choose YouTube, just copy the video link and paste it into the dialog.

After inserting the video, you can format it in several ways. It is possible, for example, to define the start and end of the video, adjust the volume, choose whether the video should be played automatically or not, among other options.

To format the video, simply select it and click the "Format" tab. There, you will find several options, such as "Crop", "Compress media", "Color correction", among others.

An interesting option is the possibility to add animation effects to the video. This can make the presentation more dynamic and attractive. To add an animation effect, simply select the video and click on the "Animations" tab. There, you will find several effect options, such as "Appear", "Disappear", "Rotate", "Zoom", among others.
