hi olga,

 

you can try optimizing media in presentation compatibility.

 

1. on file tab of ribbon, select info.

2. if media in presentation inserted in format might have compatibility issues when played on device, optimize compatibility option appear. if doesn’t appear, don’t have compatibility issues , ready share.

3. select optimize compatibility*. powerpoint improve media requires optimization.

when optimize compatibility button appears, provides summary of resolutions of potential playback issues. provides list of number of occurrences of media in presentation.

 

you can refer article more information: having video or audio playback issues?

meanwhile, please provide version of powerpoint? can check in file > account and send screenshot us.

regards,

tisky
