If you are watching a film on its own page on YouTube, you’ll find this in the URL (address bar). #HOW TO ADD VIDEO TO POWERPOINT AT CERTAIN TIME STAMP CODE#O4L0pWUNp08 – which is the unique reference code for the video. So here’s how to create a link to a YouTube film which, rather than start playing at the start of the film, will start playing at a specific moment part way through the YouTube film:Īs you can see, it’s really very simple – the YouTube web address and then two variables, to select which film you want and at what specific time in the film you want it to start: Also it can be hard to find information about it online as people often call it deep linking – which makes sense if you know the jargon but isn’t the sort of phrase you’d otherwise guess is the one to look for. Up next: Trim a music clip and fade it out.This feature has now been around for quite a while, but it’s not that well known. When you present, you need to have access to the linked audio file from the presenting computer.įor more information about this, see the course summary at the end of this course. To do that, when you first insert the file, click the arrow next to Insert, and click Link to File. If you want to avoid the issue of a large file size, another option is to link to the audio file.

So, each slide will play for 1 second and then advance. I'll click the up arrow to set the slide timing to 1.00 second. To set timings, click the TRANSITIONS tab, and under Advance Slide, check the After box. I'll set the slide timings with this in mind. When I point to the end of the playbar, a pop-up shows the clip's total time, 14.89, which is about 15 seconds. On Slide 1, I'll point to the audio icon to see the playbar. ![]() Now, I want the slides to advance automatically, timed to match the length of the music.įirst, let's see how long the music clip is. The music starts automatically and plays continuously, as I click, in the background of my slides. Let's click Slide Show to see how this plays. While that turns off Play in Background, all the settings that I want are still in place. I don't need the music to repeat, so I'll uncheck Loop until Stopped. Note that this applies the following settings: the Start setting switches from On Click to Automatically.Īnd these three options are now checked: Play Across Slides, Loop until Stopped, and Hide During Show. To set the music, so it plays in the background, on the PLAYBACK tab, I'll click Play in Background. It is selected, and the AUDIO TOOLS tabs are available. ![]() The file is placed in the middle of the slide. I'll select the music file, and click Insert.
