- 7. Now let’s add some embedded video. I will use video available on the web. To get freely available video, I picked a video from my publicly available Flickr videos. Because it requires attribution, I’ve added a notation to the video to that effect. I got started by selecting the slide type that allows me to insert video. These are both text boxes. (Insert-Text Box)
