Good morning,
due to send presentation by email I need to reduce drammatically the powerpoint file. Into presentation there are some videos and I would take advance of the function "insert online video".
I tried to insert a direct http link of a file mp4 present in the web site but Powerpoint refuse it, too bad! And drammatically complicated.
This function to enbedd online files is in no way described/helped, anywhere, I surfed google for an hour but no one provide a solution what to write in this field to make it work. Then I found a solution myself, (wow I'm smarter then M$, I can do it without help) and discovered that object works (I attach an example down), but when I save the file Powerpoint include the object into file, wtf! What sense it has? If I attach an object online it should stay online!

How could I include an online video then, keeping the .pps light? Microsoft has thought ever about this chance? (sob)
Thank you for support
