Power Point Video

[Guest]

I have inserted a video that I want to loop and play in the background of all
my slides. However, the ppt refuses to place any text on top of the movie.
Is this a normal issue and, if so, can it be done?

In PowerPoint, you can't place text or object over a video. Video clip will
always be on top.

Here's a possible workaround with OfficeOne Add-in:
Show text over video
