Embed the video file
Export the Gobi employee video as a video file and drop it straight into the slide. Recommended — works offline.
Create an employee video in Gobi
Log in at studio.gobistories.com and create an employee video — a short, vertical story in 9:16 format featuring a colleague or manager. Publish the story when ready. Skip this if the story already exists.
Export the video file
Find the story in Gobi and click "Export story" to download the video file to your computer.
Insert the video in PowerPoint
In PowerPoint, go to Insert → Video → This Device, and select the file you downloaded.
💡 Because the video lives inside the presentation itself, it plays without an internet connection.
Thumbnail with a link
Add an image that opens the employee video in the browser when clicked. Lightweight deck — requires internet.

Select "Add to email"
Find the story in Gobi and select "Add to email". Set the size to 1600 pixels and 6 FPS, then click "Generate code".
Find the two URLs
The code contains two URLs: a Gobi URL and a Storage URL. The Storage URL points to an image (thumbnail), while the Gobi URL opens the story itself.
💡 The Storage URL is the image you insert. The Gobi URL is the link you add to the image.
Insert the image in PowerPoint
Import the image from the Storage URL into PowerPoint as a thumbnail on the slide.
Add the Gobi URL as a link on the image
Select the image, go to Insert → Link and paste the Gobi URL. Clicking the image now opens the story in the browser.
💡 Make sure the link is added to the image itself, and that you use the Gobi URL — not the Storage URL.
