Recommended settings
A deck you plan to email should stay under ~25MB in total.
720p is plenty for a video playing inside a slide.
MP4 (H.264 + AAC) is the format PowerPoint handles most reliably.
Questions
Why is my PowerPoint file so large?
Embedded videos are stored inside the .pptx file, so a 200MB clip makes a 200MB deck. Compress the video before inserting it.
What video format works best in PowerPoint?
MP4 with H.264 video and AAC audio plays reliably in modern PowerPoint on both Windows and Mac.
