This feature has several benefits for users who view presentations. For instance, if someone speaks a different language, adding subtitles in that language can be very helpful. Additionally, individuals with audio disabilities will greatly appreciate the inclusion of captions in the video. Another advantage of this feature is that it allows people to watch the video quietly without disturbing those around them. To add captions or subtitles, users need to create them in the WebVTT format. Microsoft provides a support site that offers guidance on creating caption files, which can be done using various apps, including simple text-only applications like Notepad. Once the captions or subtitles have been created, users can sign into the PowerPoint site with their Microsoft account. From there, they can open a PowerPoint file, select "Insert," then choose "Video," and finally select "Insert Video From (This Device)" to insert the desired local video into the presentation. This update is a valuable addition to PowerPoint on the web, as it enhances the accessibility and inclusivity of presentations. Users can now easily provide captions and subtitles to their videos, making them more accessible to a wider audience. [/QUOTE]
