Dear Harald,
Thank you for trying to help! I just took a look at the links you sent me. It seems like Libre
Office shouldn't have a problem playing videos if gstreamer is installed. I've checked and the
gstreamer packages are available (I've also luckily never had any issues with displaying videos, so
I don't think that's the problem).
I also just noticed that my original email didn't format the way I intended it to (there were
bullet points/lists). I reformatted it below, hopefully it's readable now:
Here's what happens:
1. I go to slide where I want the video to appear in
2. Select Insert
3. Select Video
4. [File Navigator opens] I navigate to the video file and select Open
5. Nothing happens, not even an error message is displayed :(
What I've tried to fix it:
1. Drag-and-drop
Dropping a .mp4 file into the slide displays a square with a music note in it, not the actual
video. Nothing happens when starting the presentation.
2. Create OLE object from file
After selecting the video file, two error messages appear (finally!)
"Permission to [path of file] denied"
This confuses me, because inserting images, for example, works just fine (also true for images
located in the same folder where the videos are located)
"Object from file [path of file] couldn't be inserted"
3. The folder I'm using is actually a syslink, so I tried copying the video file to my desktop
first and then inserting it into the presentation
4. Different file formats (mp4, m4v, webm)
Inserting GIFs results in only one frame of them being shown (nothing happens when starting the
presentation either), although I'm not sure if Impress has the capability to display GIFs.
I'm running...
- Linux Mint 20.3 (with Cinnamon 5.2.7)
- Linux Kernel: 5.4.0-109-generic
Let me know if there's anything I can do to make identifying the problem easier.
Enjoy your weekend!

Hi everyone!
I've migrated to Linux a couple months ago and have continued to enjoy Libre Office :)
However, I can't figure out why Impress won't let me add videos to my presentation. I couldn't
find a solution to the problem by looking it up.
