Movies are always linked, never embedded, which means you have to send
the movie file along with the PPT.

And to pile on to what David said, you can use a built-in feature of
PowerPoint to include the movie and make sure the link works.

Use File > Save As and change the file type to PowerPoint package. This
makes a folder that contains a copy of your presentation with copies of
linked media and fixes all the links.
