# How am I able to integrate video and other media into my presentations?

At times, I struggle with all the advanced features of Powerpoint. It would be helpful to add an embedded video into my presentations, especially when working on training decks for new hires. It would be beneficial to get further training or support to improve my skills in this software.

I would honestly advise against it, since the file size will be a lot larger. I prefer keeping them separate and use links for many reasons, but mainly because a slight interruption in your connection and your work goes down the drain. Besides, keeping the videos aside allows you to update them without having to recreate the whole presentations or redeploying it.
