5- Videos should be embedded in the presentation in one file and not in a separate disk or flash drive, once a video is embeded in powerpoint file you can play it , enlarge it but with keeping the original aspect ratio and preferably also to activate loop function so that the video will keep playing while the speaker is explaining to the audience.
