It would be great to have the option to upload videos (similar to images) or to link to other external sources (besides youtube) for video sharing.

Hi,

Thanks for your question!

AhaSlides does not currently support uploading videos directly. However, as a workaround, you can upload it to Google Slides and then embed that slide into AhaSlides using this function: [Using your Google Slides Presentation with AhaSlides](https://help.ahaslides.com/portal/en/kb/articles/using-your-google-slides-presentation-with-ahaslides)

Hope this helps!

Kind regards,

Nathan

Hi,

Great news! We’re thrilled to announce that next month we’ll be launching a new **Embed slide** type. This highly anticipated feature will make it possible to embed videos from other site aside from YouTube (like Vimeo, for example), giving you even more flexibility with your content.

I’ll be sure to notify you the moment it’s officially released.

Kind regards,

Nathan
