  1. It should be noted that Compress Media is only available if you have video and/or audio in the PowerPoint show. If you have images then look at “Reduce the file size of a picture” in the help.

  2. Also worth trying a piece of 3rd party software called NXPowerLite that is made specifically for this task.
