Please embed your fonts when saving your powerpoint file. This ensures your text will be displayed properly on any machine.
To embed fonts in PowerPoint, go to File > Options > Save, and under "Preserve fidelity when sharing this presentation,“ check the box for "Embed fonts in the file". You can then choose to embed only the characters used or embed all characters for wider editing compatibility, which increases the file size.

These days we all have the ability to capture and share beautiful high quality images. Having too many large images in a powerpoint can affect its playback ability. Where possible we recommend using files no larger than 1920x1080 pixels. Within Powerpoint you can compress your images for smoother playback, ask us how!
Videos

We work with videos all the time and there are a few different things to consider.
If your video is 150mb or smaller in size, you can embed this in Powerpoint and playback should be fine. You will want to check on options such as, what happens when you get to the slide with the video - we recommend having the video autoplay as soon as Powerpoint gets to that slide. You can always create a buffer slide to show before the video to remind you it's coming up.
If your video is larger than 150mb, we recommend playing the video on a separate dedicated machine with professional cueing and playback software. Our recommended format is 1920x1080p h.264 MP4 or MOV container.
