To keep the center of the video in the same place, hold down Ctrl while dragging.

In Normal view, select the video that you want to resize.Ĭlick a corner sizing handle until you see a two-headed arrow, and then drag to size the frame. If you don't want to play a movie full screen, you can resize it to the dimensions that you want. Under Video Tools, on the Playback tab, in the Video Options group, select the Play Full Screen check box. In Normal view, click the video frame on the slide that you want to play full screen. If you set the video to be displayed full screen and it is also set to start automatically, you can drag the video frame off the slide into the gray area so that it will not be visible on the slide or flash briefly before the video goes to full screen. Always preview your video before you include it in your presentation so that if the video appears distorted or blurry, you can undo the full screen option.

Depending on the resolution of your original video file, it might appear distorted when you enlarge it. You can play a video so that it fills the entire slide (screen) when you deliver your presentation. To resume playing the video, click it again. Tip: While a video is playing, you can pause it by clicking it.
