Hey there Atticus1234, 

Taking a look at Add video and audio in Keynote on iPad,


"You can add video and audio to a slide, or replace a media placeholder with a video. When you show the slide during a presentation, by default the video and audio plays when you tap anywhere on the slide. You can set video or audio looping, or set the start time to make the media files play automatically when the slide appears. You can also add a soundtrack that plays for the entire presentation.


Note: Video and audio files must be in a format that QuickTime supports on your device. If you can’t add or play a media file, try using iMovie, QuickTime Player, or Compressor on a Mac to convert the file to a QuickTime file (with a .mov filename extension) for video, or an MPEG-4 file (with a .m4a filename extension) for audio.


You can also record video and audio and add it to your presentation.


  1. While viewing Keynote in landscape orientation, tap the Insert Media button in the toolbar.
  2. Tap Photo or Video; to insert media from iCloud or another service, tap “Insert from.”
  3. Navigate to the file, then tap it.
  4. To resize video, drag any blue dot.
  5. Tap the Play button  on the media to play it.


You can also copy a video file from another presentation or from another application."


Have a good one!
