Remove Bookmarks from Video Clips in PowerPoint 2016 for Windows

After adding Bookmarks to video clips, you may want to know how you can edit and remove those Bookmarks. PowerPoint does not let you edit inserted Bookmarks. For instance, you cannot change the time of the Bookmark from 25 seconds to 28 seconds. You will have to remove the Bookmark you wanted to edit and add a new Bookmark all over again! On the other hand, removing a Bookmark is easy!

In this tutorial, we'll show how you can remove a Bookmark from a video clip in PowerPoint 2016:

1. Open your presentation, and navigate to the required slide where you have already inserted a video clip. If your video clip has no Bookmarks added, go ahead and add Bookmarks. The video clip that you see in Figure 1, below has five bookmarks added (highlighted in red).

2. Now, within the Player Controls bar, locate the Bookmark that you want to remove, and click it to select. Place your cursor over the Bookmark to see the Bookmark's name and time position in the tool tip (see Figure 2, below). A selected Bookmark is indicated by a yellow dot, as shown highlighted in red within Figure 2.

3. With your bookmark selected, locate the Bookmarks group within the Video Tools Playback tab. Now, click the Remove Bookmark button, highlighted in red within Figure 3.

   Note: Do not press the Delete key on your keyboard. That will delete the entire video clip from your slide!
4. This will remove the Bookmark from the video clip, as shown in Figure 4. If you removed this Bookmark by error, quickly undo the last step by pressing Ctrl+Z.
