PowerPoint 2007 - how to play movies simultaneously within a slide?

Question

I have six small clips (.wmv) inside a PowerPoint 2007 slide (for Windows). If I set all the videos to play automatically only the first one starts playing.

Any ideas how to make them play simultaneously?

Answer 1

In the Animation tab, select Custom Animation. Select all your videos, and choose Add Effects -> Media (something similar) -> Play.

Once you see the play animations in the animation pane, select all of them, right click, and choose With Previous in the menu.
