Insert Video and then email Powerpoint

[Guest]

I need to insert a small video clip into powerpoint and then email the
presentation. It seems that the action of "inserting a video" merely inserts
a "link" to the file location. When you then email the presentation to a new
recipient the video won't play because the link to the file location is
broken. How do I acutally imbed the video file into the powerpoint
presentation. It can be achieved with picture files but I cant figure out
how to do it with Video.

I can save you some time, it can't be done, all videos are linked and you
need to include it in your distribution.

As Austin says, videos are always linked. So, to prevent broken links, follow
the advice at:

Sounds/Movies don't play, images disappear or links break when I move or email a
presentation
