Problem When Emailing PowerPoint Files with Audio
If you embed an audio or video file in PowerPoint, then that file is included in the resulting PowerPoint file. Why is this important? Well, if you want to share this presentation with someone else through email, it will not contain the audio and video files unless they are embedded.
If you have linked them from your computer, then you will also need to separately copy the audio files with the presentation in order for the audio to play in PowerPoint.
