Add an image, video or image gallery in Keynote on Apple Vision Pro
You can add photo and videos to any slide and replace media placeholders with your own media. You can add photos from photo albums on your Apple Vision Pro or insert photos and images from iCloud.
When you show a slide with a video during a presentation, the video plays when you tap anywhere on the slide. You can set video looping and start timing to make the media files play automatically when the slide appears.
Note: Video files must be in a format that QuickTime supports on your Apple Vision Pro. If you can’t add or play a media file, try using iMovie, QuickTime Player or Compressor on a Mac to convert the file to a QuickTime file (with a .mov filename extension) for video.
