MicrosoftWe are working on this ability to add a video from SharePoint into a ppt deck like works for classic. It's going slowly due to hard technical issues and performance issues.
We are working on it but feel free to add your idea and votes to our new feedback portal: https://aka.ms/streamideas
However you can get a similar experience by uploading the video inside the ppt itself. That works with PowerPoint live in a teams meeting to play back the video on everyone's machine directly. Not sure that works with webinars or not through.
Good Morning Marc,
Thanks for getting back to me - very happy to hear that the embedded video functionality is planned for Stream/SharePoint as well!
We have tried loading the video into the PowerPoint directly, then sharing it via PowerPoint live but encountered many issues. The video we have uploaded is a fairly big one (around 1 GB; 45 min duration) so maybe that was the reason for the issues we have encountered. The following errors occurred when testing with a direct video upload then sharing via PowerPoint live:
1. Video doesn't play for meeting participants at all. It starts around 3 min after the meeting host has started the video on his end.
2. Video plays but without sound, even though Computer Audio was shared
3. When sharing PowerPoint live, the meeting host is missing the 'Play' button
Unfortunately, we could not predict reliably which issue would occur at which trial. For the time being, we have switched to embedding a YouTube link into the PowerPoint as that is the most reliably working solution as of today (but not the most preferred one, as it allows meeting participants to pause or fast forward the video on their own).
