However, many people encountered error message when they tried to insert the AVI video file into PowerPoint slide, no matter PowerPoint 2016, 2010, 2003, 2007 or lower version. Things could get even worse, you successfully add an AVI movie in PowerPoint, but you still get a "Cannot play back the file. The format is not supported" message when you play the video during a presentation. Well, read on to learn detailed reason and solution.



Why we can't insert an AVI video into PowerPoint PPT successfully?

First, look at the best Video Formats for PowerPoint:

The best video formats for PPT can be varied depending on what version of PowerPoint and what computer system you are using. Here is a concise list:

1. PowerPoint 2007 and lower version 

According to Microsoft, PowerPoint 2007 and lower version only support WMV, AVI, ASF, and MPG (MPEG-1) video formats,  However,   some .avi files may require additional codecs, if your computer doesn't install according video and audio codec, the AVI video embed may cannot playback in PowerPoint 2007/2003/2002/2000/97/95.

For the best video playback experience,
