How to embed a narrated PowerPoint in Moodle

This article assumes that you already have a narrated PowerPoint presentation and you want to embed it in Moodle.

If you haven't created your narrated PowerPoint presentation then we suggest referring to the following article: Moodle My Media - How to create a narrated presentation (using Kaltura Capture).

This article provides two methods of embedding a narrated PowerPoint in Moodle:

Method #1: Save the narrated PowerPoint as an MP4 video file

Using PowerPoint 2013 or newer, you can save your narrated PowerPoint as an MP4 video file and embed it in Moodle using My Media.

Steps

Open your narrated presentation in PowerPoint 2013 or newer. 

Select File

Select Save-As

Select a location to save the file

Set the Save as type to MPEG-4 Video (*.mp4) and select the Save button

The narrated PowerPoint might take a while to save, depending on how much narration is in the PowerPoint and the speed of your computer. A progress bar will appear at the bottom.

Now that your narrated PowerPoint has been saved as an MP4 video file you can use My Media to embed the video file in Moodle by referring to the article Moodle My Media - How to share a video or audio file in Moodle.

Method #2: Upload the narrated PowerPoint to OneDrive

Once you've uploaded a narrated PowerPoint to OneDrive you can embed it in Moodle.
