Hi We often have guest speakers with PowerPoint presentations that contain embedded videos. There doesn't seem to be a way that these videos can be played in Proclaim as part of the PowerPoint.
Am I missing something?
Thanks
Hi @Lis Webb - and welcome to the forums
There are two ways I am aware of that this can be done.
When you add the PPT file to Proclaim, you can select the option to Transfer Control to PowerPoint. If you do this, the PPT viewer will be used in the background to show the contents of that presentation and this would enable the videos to play
If you choose the other option Convert to images you will just get a picture for the "video slide" - which I assume is what you are currently seeing. To address this (assuming you are using a Windows computer), you can:
If that doesn't make sense - please advise

Thank you

I've typed in the lyrics how do I connect a set of lyrics to a specific verse 1, verse 2, etc…? If I uncheck the box next to where I can add Title, screen and all that my lyrics will show, but if…
Hi. I don't use a confidence monitor, but want to access something like the formatting there for a printout, where chords are displayed above the lyrics. Initially, I couldn't work out where to do this, but found out how in the process of composing this post, so I thought I'd contribute it here anyway. I may well come back…
Sometimes I add songs to the presentation that emphasize different themes, with no intention of singing all of them. This leaves flexibility to lead according to the direction the service takes. However, those songs that go unsung are still included in the usage reports, which throws off my future planning and my look back…
I'm having a hard time dealing with getting PDF's into a presentation in Proclaim. With so much drop and drag functionality for images, I thought PDF's would be the same. But when that didn't work, every AI generated answer online said to import the pdf and Proclaim would turn each page into images - but is this actually…
