When using Insert Video in WPS on macOS, common questions usually involve supported formats, the difference between embedded and linked videos, and playback control; this FAQ covers 3 common questions and a short glossary.
FAQ
Which video formats are supported?
- The feature description lists common formats such as MP4, AVI, WMV, and FLV.
- If a video cannot be inserted normally, first check the file format and file integrity.
- If needed, convert the video to a more common format and try again.
What is the difference between embedding a video and linking to a video?
- An embedded video stores the video content in the presentation.
- A linked video keeps a reference to an external file and can help control presentation file size.
- If you plan to present on another device, check that the linked file path is still available.
Can I control video playback during a presentation?
- After insertion, you can play the video during presentation or preview.
- Playback usually includes pause and progress control.
- Before a formal presentation, preview the file once to confirm playback works as expected.
