Step 3: Add Video Frame

Now, add a video frame to the slide:

IVideoFrame vf = sld.Shapes.AddVideoFrame(50, 150, 300, 150, dataDir + "video1.avi");

Adjust the parameters (left, top, width, height) according to your layout preferences.

Step 4: Set Play Mode and Volume

Configure the play mode and volume of the inserted video frame:

vf.PlayMode = VideoPlayModePreset.Auto;
vf.Volume = AudioVolumeMode.Loud;

Feel free to customize these settings based on your presentation requirements.
