VBA - advanced videos | Excel VBA Part 33 - Creating Add Ins
Posted by Andrew Gould on 13 October 2014
Creating an Excel VBA Add-In is a great way to make your custom functions available to other Excel workbooks and VBA projects. This video teaches you how to create an add-in from scratch, including how to write VBA functions, where to save your add-in, how to enable an add-in to make it available to other workbooks and how to reference an add-in from a VBA project.
See our full range of VBA training resources, or test your knowledge of VBA with one of our VBA skills assessment tests.

Making a video bigger
You can increase the size of your video to make it fill the screen like this:

Play your video (the icons shown won't appear until you do), then click on the full screen icon which appears as shown at its bottom right-hand corner.
When you've finished viewing a video in full screen mode, just press the Esc key to return to normal view.
Improving the quality of a video
To improve the quality of a video, first click on the Settings icon:

Make sure you're playing your video so that the icons shown appear, then click on this gear icon at the bottom right-hand corner.
Choose to change the video quality:

Click on Quality as shown to bring up the submenu.
The higher the number you choose, the better will be your video quality (but the slower the connection speed):

Don't choose the HD option unless you have a fast enough connection speed to support it!
Is your Wise Owl speaking too slowly (or too quickly)? You can also use the Settings menu above to change your playback speed.
