Powerpoint video link

Hi 

Is it possible to link a video that's uploaded to Dropbox to a Powerpoint presentation? When I've tried it using the link that is generated in dropbox I get a message in Powerpoint that says "Sorry, playback of this online movie is not currently supported. You can try opening it in a browser instead." 

Thanks for your help!

    Hi KL3, let's see what we can find on this together! 

    Just to clarify, do you use a shared link when trying to attach it to the Powerpoint? 

    A screenshot of the error you get would be much appreciated. 

    Thanks a bunch!
