Hi, Office Insiders. My name is Rolly Seth, and I’m a Program Manager on the Office Graphics team. I’m happy to share with you that you can now add Flipgrid videos and Flipgrid shorts to your PowerPoint presentations on both the Windows and Mac platforms, as well as in PowerPoint for the web.

Flipgrid videos in PowerPoint

Flipgrid is a free and accessible short-form video discussion tool for educators, learners, and families. It offers powerful, creative tools that make it easy to engage with your community, including fun stickers, expressive frames, and a colorful camera and lenses.

We’ve now made it easy to add Flipgrid videos to enhance and enrich your PowerPoint presentations!

Known issues

Video Preview might not be available when you paste the Flipgrid URL into the dialog box, but you can still insert and play the Flipgrid video. We are working to address this issue.

Note that only Flipgrid standard videos and Flipgrid shorts are currently supported in PowerPoint.
