As per title, I am looking for a way to embed animated GIF files within my powerpoint presentation. I was hoping for this to be native functionality but either inserting as image or as video does not appear to work.

You can add any animated *.gif by just drag and drop from explorer window, or in the ribbon UI click Insert - Pictures and navigate to your gif image, and click Insert. Press F5 to begin the slideshow. Make sure your GIF file is animating by opening it with Internet Explorer, because static GIFs never animate.
Here's the MS Powerpoint 2013 demonstration:
