You can embed a YouTube video into a powerpoint presentation. For example, your company may have videos on YouTube that you would like to show. If you're sure that you'll have a live Internet connection when you present, you can use this method.
- Display the YouTube movie at YouTube.com.
- From the URL text box, copy the URL to the clipboard.
- Choose View> Toolbars> Control Toolbox. (In PowerPoint 2007, go to Developer tab> Controls group. If you don't see the Developer tab, click the Office button> PowerPoint Options. In the Popular category, check the Show Developer Tab in the Ribbon check box.)
- Click the Hammer button (More Controls).
- Choose Shockwave Flash Object from the menu. (In PowerPoint 2007, click OK.)
- Drag a box across the screen to get the desired size and location. Don't cover the entire slide.
- Right click the box and choose Properties.
- In the Properties window, click the Movie item.
- Paste the YouTube URL that you copied.
- In the URL, delete the text watch?.
- In the URL, replace the = (equal) sign with a / (forward slash). You'll end up with a URL that looks like http://www.youtube.com/v/0onkpWsGc4A.
- Set the Loop value to False unless you want the movie to repeat over and over.
- Set the Playing value to False to allow you to click when you want the movie to start, rather than automatically when you display the PowerPoint slide.
- Close the Properties window using its close box.
- Choose Slide Show view to see the movie. Click the Play button to start the movie.
Note: On repeated playing, the movie sometimes starts itself or plays at a quick speed. Just click the Pause button, drag the slider to the left, and click Play.
