About This Feature
Overview
Insert Video is a built-in presentation feature in WPS Office for iOS. It lets you add a local video from your device to a slide so your presentation can include richer visual content.
Core tasks include:
- Insert a local video: Choose a video from your device library and add it to the current slide.
- Adjust the inserted clip: Drag the selection handles to define the part of the video you want to insert.
- Resize the video frame: After insertion, drag the control points to change the display size on the slide.
This feature is useful for class presentations, product demos, event recaps, and other scenarios where video helps explain content more clearly on mobile.

Compare with Alternatives
| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | Supports choosing a video from the iPhone photo library in a presentation, adjusting the selected clip before insertion, and resizing the video frame on the slide after insertion. | PowerPoint on iPhone and iPad can add an existing video to a presentation when the video is stored on the device. | Google Slides help for iPhone and iPad describes inserting images and other items, while official video insertion steps are documented on desktop. | Notion supports embedding online videos and also supports uploading video files or embedding them through links. | Acrobat can add video to a PDF through rich media tools by using a local file or a video URL. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: WPS provides a direct video insertion flow in iOS presentation editing and supports clip selection before insertion plus frame resizing after insertion. | Compared with WPS: It also supports inserting a local video on iOS, but the cited page focuses on device-stored video access and does not highlight clip trimming before insertion on that page. | Compared with WPS: The official iPhone and iPad help page does not provide a mobile path for inserting video, and the official insertion steps are documented for desktop. | Compared with WPS: It is oriented more toward page embeds and connected content, rather than inserting a local video directly into a slide editing workflow. | Compared with WPS: It focuses on rich media objects in PDFs, so the document type and editing scenario differ from slide editing. |
| Official Source | — | Add pictures to a file by using your mobile device | Insert or delete images & videos - iPhone & iPad | Embeds, bookmarks & link mentions | Add audio, video, and interactive objects to PDFs in Adobe Acrobat |
Overall Conclusion
For mobile presentation editing, WPS offers a workflow that stays close to direct slide editing on iPhone or iPad. If you need to add a local video to a presentation and continue arranging the slide on the same device, this flow is practical and continuous.
