How You can Stream Live Video Into PowerPoint

PowerPoint helps you to use photos, music and videos in your presentations to make them more interesting lively and engaging for viewers. However, if you really want to remove your slideshow viewers, stream a live video feed inside PowerPoint. Using a live video feed allows you to have a main speaker directly address your audience, present live demonstrations and other good things that live video can provide. Using some free plugins for PowerPoint, you can stream video without ever leaving the presentation screen.
