If you embed a video, your video becomes part of the presentation, which increases the overall size of the presentation file.<\/p>\n<p>If you link to a video, PowerPoint only adds a reference to that video in your presentation. The downside of this method is that you need to send the video file separately if you share your presentation with someone.
