When you want to frame your video on a slide in your presentation, you can add a border and then change the color, the look of the line style, or the weight of the line.
What do you want to do?
- Select the video on the slide.
- Under Video Tools, on the Format tab, in the Video Styles group, click the arrow next to Video Border, and then click the color that you want.
If you don't see the Video Tools or Format tabs, make sure that you've selected the video.

Tip To change to a color that is not in the theme colors (theme colors: A set of colors that is used in a file. Theme colors, theme fonts, and theme effects compose a theme.), click More Outline Colors, and then either click the color that you want on the Standard tab, or mix your own color on the Custom tab. Custom colors and colors on the Standard tab do not update if you later change the document theme (theme: A set of unified design elements that provides a look for your document by using color, fonts, and graphics.).
