Embedding Youtube Video in PowerPoint!
We have 3 ways to embed a Youtube video into a presentation. Firstly one can embed it into the presentation which will require good internet connectivity when running the presentation.
Secondly, One can export videos from Google Docs. The third simple is to download youtube video into your hard disk and insert it simply!
Embed YouTube Videos Directly into PowerPoint!
This method is recommended only if one has the security of a good internet connection at the venue of the presentation.
One can do this by Downloading and installing the YouTube Wizard plug-in and it will add a new “Insert YouTube Video” command to your PowerPoint Toolbar.
One can easily resize and reshape the player like any other object in powerpoint which makes it really versatile to use!
You simply have to type the URL of the YouTube video and follow the wizard to embed the YouTube video player in your current PowerPoint slide.
Get Videos from Google Docs into PowerPoint
While Google Docs does provide an “Export as PPT” option, the problem with this format is that it converts all embedded YouTube clips into static images which is something you don’t want.
There’s however a simple workaround – just publish that Google Docs presentation as an HTML slideshow and then insert it like a web page in PowerPoint.
Thus you can play YouTube clips inside PowerPoint even though they are part of your Google Docs presentation.

An advantage of this approach is that if you change any of the YouTube videos clip in your original Google Docs presentation, it will be reflected in the PowerPoint presentation as well.
Embed Youtube video in PowerPoint from your PC!
This is the best-opted option for when one is not sure for internet connectivity at the venue.
Also adding this method is not versatile with the people who change their laptop regularly as one has to copy the video along with the presentation whenever it is to be presented.
First, download the YouTube video to your computer in either Windows Media or AVI format since PowerPoint doesn’t understand the default FLV or MP4 formats of YouTube.
Once the video is saved as an AVI or WMV file, switch to PowerPoint and choose Insert – > Movie – > “Movie from file” to put the YouTube video into the current slide.
