📌 If your video doesn’t show or won’t play, it may be a format that PowerPoint 2007 doesn’t support well (like some MP4s). Try using WMV, AVI or MPG videos. �

🏁 Final Tips 👍

✅ Test it — click Slide Show to make sure your audio and video play correctly.

✅ Keep media files in the same folder as your PowerPoint if you send it to someone else. PowerPoint 2007 links files, it doesn’t always embed them! �

✅ Older versions like 2007 may not work well with all video types, so use simple formats like WMV or AVI. �
