Movie file as Background

Is there a way to make a movie file run in the background while the slide show is running. Every time I try it the movie always plays over top of the text that is in the prestation. I want to have the video in the background and the text of the prestation above it.

Thanks

Unfortunately powerpoint always plays movies "on top" of your content. No amount of "send to back" will stop this behaviour.

Cheers

You can try to make an animated gif of the movie (There are some programs which can do that) and load the gif as a background in PPT.

I noticed however that the playback speed of the gif changes, so maybe you should keep that in mind when converting your movie to (animated) gif.

Hope this helps!
