16. Inserting audio or video files

A presentation is primarily a visual communication tool; therefore, you should use objects like audio and video in your presentations.

 

LibreOffice Impress can add media files, movies and sound of different types. It allows all the standard audio and video formats (.mp3, .wma, .wmv, .mp4, .mpeg).

 

You can insert audio video files to a slide to make your presentation more attractive. By default, LibreOffice Impress provides audio and video clips that you can add to the presentation.

 

The added media file (audio/video) will start playing as soon as the slide is shown during the presentation.

 

When a media file is chosen, the Media Playback toolbar is automatically opened. The default location of the toolbar is at the bottom of the screen. If the toolbar does not open, go to View $\Rightarrow$Toolbars $\Rightarrow$Media Playback on the main menu bar.
