A few caveats when embedding in PowerPoint a video from Screenr, or any other source on the internet, that might prevent your video from playing.
First, if you are presenting in a hotel ballroom, you may not have internet access.
Second, the event host may be providing a laptop with an older version of PowerPoint that lacks this capability.
Third, if this is for an Articulate course, some employers will block access to YouTube or other video hosts.
Great points, Jim. Hotels are not the best place to seek reliable internet connections…I know that all too well. And good points all around re: Web Objects and corporate firewalls. For us, the main thing is to showcase “what’s possible” with Studio ’09.
