Step 3: After that, click the icon at the upper left corner and select [Save as] to save the PPT file.

Another way is to add hyperlink into PPT. That will not affect the file size of PPT because of the video. You can follow these steps to add the hyperlink.

Step 1: Open the target PPT file. Then, add a button or an image in a PPT.
