How to embed video files from YouTube in your PowerPoint Slides

First, you will need the Developer menu in the tool bar.

However, right now, there is no Developer menu in the tool bar.

In order to get the Developer menu, you will need to take a few steps first.

Click on the Office button in the top left corner.

Click on Power Point Options

Check Show Developer tab in the Ribbon.

Now, you have the Developer menu in the tool bar.

Click on the Developer menu.

Then click on the More Control icon in the Controls section in the tool bar.

Then a More Controls pop-up menu appears on the screen.

Scroll down until you see Shockwave Flash Object

When you have selected Shockwave Flash Object, click OK.

Using the mouse, click and drag the mouse point from the top left corner

and draw a box on your PowerPoint slide.

Right click on the box and click on Properties.

Then the Properties pop-up menu appears on the screen.

Are you ready to insert your video?

If not, let’s first get a video from YouTube.

Copy the web address of your favorite video from YouTube

such as the one below:

http://.www.youtube.com/watch?v=LT3VKAr4roo

Paste the web address in the properties pop-up menu across from Movie.

Then, go to Loop and change the attribute to False.

Next, go to Playing and change the attribute to False.

Last, but not least, change the highlighted URL (Uniform Resource Locator)

from the web address: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LT3VKAr4roo

watch?v= à v/

It should look like the one below:

Congratulations! You now have the video on your PowerPoint slide.
