PowerPoint
For Collective Worship only, presentations are also provided as downloadable PowerPoint files.
We provide two options:
- Embedded Video Online (*recommended): The Vimeo video is embedded into the slide itself. Users must choose ‘Enable Editing’ and ‘Enable Media’ when prompted in order to allow streaming of the embedded video. Old versions of PowerPoint do not support Embedded Video. Here is a list of supported versions.
- Embedded Video File: These PowerPoints are large files and will take longer to download as contain video(s) within them. Users must choose ‘Enable Editing’ when prompted in order to allow playing of the embedded video. When users click on the Play Button, it plays the video within the presentation itself rather than streaming.

The media resources should also work on Microsoft Edge and Mozilla Firefox.
