> 1. AuthorSTREAM supports audio in the presentations if it is an embedded audio (.wav) file in slides, are transition sounds (.wav) or is audio added using PowerPoint's ‘Add Narrations’ feature. Sounds that accompany animations are also supported (.wav). authorSTREAM indirectly supports ‘Linked Audio’ in PowerPoint with the help of a free desktop tool called authorPOINT Lite. You can find more information on how to install and use authorPOINT Lite [|here]. 2. Hyperlinks are only maintained in the final file once uploaded if they are associated with images. Weird, I agree.

This causes link breaking issues when moving your presentation from one computer to another. The best solution would be to embed these videos. Save video or video segment to your computer.
