Microsoft has just updated PowerPoint for the Web with the capability of trimming videos, allowing users to do so very easily, in just a few steps.

The Redmond-based tech giant added a new Trim Video button that can be seen when opening PowerPoint, and clicking it will start to process of editing a video right there.

In theofficial blog post, Microsoft says the new feature will allow users to edit videos precisely, and even preview them to make sure they’re all good to be used in presentations.

Using the new Trim Video command, you can edit the videos you inserted in your presentation to show only the most important and engaging parts, and keep your audience focused on what is relevant. You can trim videos using frame or timestamp level accuracy, and preview them and fine-tune them until you achieve the perfect and precise outcome.
