Video empedded in to PowerPoint presentation takes a long time to load
- Jul 06, 2020
This seems to be rather normal imho, your browser need to buffer a part of the video before it starts playing and thus this takes some time. Keep in mind that the data is not local but online.
It may be an idea to include a movie hosted on Stream?
Hello juhakalliola I found a similar question in our answers.microsoft.com tech support site that offers suggestions that may help you. https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/msoffice/forum/all/how-to-play-powerpoint-video-in-team-meeting/af59e2cf-14c7-4f12-9384-be32ed7e75f9
- juhakalliolaJul 06, 2020Copper ContributorThanks, but that was not what I was looking for.
To be clear, the video is embedded in the PowerPoint presentation and when the presentation file (pptx) is loaded to Teams and when you reach the slide where the video is embedded, it takes too long time before the video starts to play, about 20-30 seconds if it's a few minutes long video- DirkHaexJul 06, 2020Brass Contributor

DirkHaex thanks.
Even I am not using Teams in browser?
I load the PowerPoint to the Teams client on my Windos 10 using the PowerPoint sections Browse function. When loaded, the presentation opens in Teams where you can present it from. But is that like a browser then?
