Voki Tip of the Week: Voki on PowerPoint


Many teachers use PowerPoint in their lessons and want to put Voki into their presentations. There are several ways of putting Voki onto your PowerPoint presentations.

So we compiled a list (from the simplest way to the hardest way!) on how to put your Voki onto your PowerPoint presentation! Let’s all take a look!

Direct Link to Voki Character

  1. After you published your Voki, select your Voki size.
  2. Select your Voki link.
  3. Highlight and copy your Voki link.
  4. Paste the link into your PowerPoint slide.

Note: You need internet connection during your PowerPoint presentation to view your Voki. You can also view your Voki in full screen by checking out this Tip of the Week.

Voki as a Video

  1. After you published your Voki, create a Voki video. Check out this Tip of the Week on how to turn your Voki into a video file.
  2. In your PowerPoint, click on the Insert tab.
  3. Click on Movie and select Movie from File.
  4. Find and insert your Voki video file.

  1. I have both PowerPoint 2010 and PowerPoint 2013. I have tried both methods above to embed a Voki in a PowerPoint but it doesn’t work. What am I doing wrong?

      1. It worked! It worked! Thank you so much for this! I had to isolate the value code and then on the property sheet on PowerPOint 2013, my embed movie section was set to FALSE and I wasn’t changing it to TRUE. Thank you!!!!! I have been at this for days and it finally worked. I could kiss you right now.

  2. Hello, I have followed the instructions for PowerPoint 2013 as above and am able to see the Voki as I created it when I view my slideshow. However, after I view it a few times, the Voki no longer plays. Is this a known issue? I have not edited the code or Voki or anything else in any way. It plays a few times once I first create it and then nothing.

    I put Voki’s into presentations that I use for all my classes it will work within the slideshow for the first few periods but by the end of the day, it doesn’t.

    Please help!

  3. I’ve tried all methods for PowerPoint 2013 and it doesn’t work. I am also thinking of getting open office.org too, not sure what to do! I thought this would be very interesting to get to this point but can’t use Voki. Have to try and find another free alternative.. Any ideas?
