# Can I upload a PowerPoint file to OneTake?

At this time, OneTake **does not support uploading PowerPoint files (.ppt or .pptx)**. The platform is designed to work with **video and audio formats only**, and PowerPoint files cannot be imported or converted directly inside OneTake.
When you start a new project, the upload options available are:

* **My Device** (video/audio files)
* **Camera**
* **Audio**
* **Screencast**
* **Google Drive**
* **Google Photos**
* **Link**
* **YouTube**
* **Dropbox**
* **Zoom**

None of these import methods accept PowerPoint files, and the interface does not display any option for uploading or converting presentation formats.

## What you *can* do instead
If you want to use a PowerPoint presentation in your video, here are the supported alternatives:

### **1. Export your PowerPoint as a video**
PowerPoint allows you to export a slideshow as an **MP4 video file**. Once exported, you can upload the MP4 file to OneTake using the **My Device** option.
### **2. Record your screen while presenting**
You can present your slides and record your screen using:
* **Screencast** (built into OneTake)
* Any external screen recorder, then upload the resulting video
This creates a standard video file that OneTake can process.

### **3. Export individual slides as images**
PowerPoint slides can be exported as **PNG or JPG images**.
You can then include these images in your video using another editing tool before importing the final video into OneTake.

## Why PowerPoint files are not supported

OneTake’s upload system is intentionally focused on **video and audio formats**, such as:
* MP4
* MOV
* M4A
* MP3
* WebM
* AVI (depending on encoder)

Supporting PowerPoint would require converting non-video presentation files into a video format, which OneTake does not perform internally.

## Summary

* ❌ PowerPoint files cannot be uploaded to OneTake
* ✔ You must convert your presentation into a **video format** (recommended)
* ✔ Or record your slides using **Screen Recording / Screencast**
* ✔ OneTake supports HD video uploads from many sources, but not .ppt or .pptx files

If direct PowerPoint support is ever added, this article will be updated.
