On your Android device, add audio or a video to a slide:

  • Open your device's camera from PowerPoint, record video, and insert that recording directly on a slide.

  • Insert a media file from your device or from OneDrive or Google Drive.

(Looking for video/audio help for a different kind of device? See Add audio or Add video.)

Supported formats

Video: .mp4, .mkv

Audio: .mp3, .wav, .mid/.midi

If your presentation is horizontal, try turning your device sideways while recording. A video often looks and fits better if it's oriented the same as the slide.
