How to Put a YouTube Video in PowerPoint


YouTube shares a great number of video clips on different categories. It's easy to find one or more videos to fit your needs when you intend to use video clips in enhancing your presentation and make them more informative as well as entertaining. Before you learn how to put a YouTube video in PowerPoint, you have to know the medium/s you will have to employ to conduct the presentation.

We often see presenters in conferences having a hard time trying to get their video right therefore ruining the entire pace of the presentation. This is often caused by poor Internet connection or wrong codes, among others. Prevent getting yourself into similar embarrassing situations by planning in advance.

Embed Videos Directly into PowerPoint

This is the easiest approach on how to put a YouTube video in PowerPoint; however, this is only advised if you are sure that the presentation venue will have fast Internet connectivity. You can simply download the YouTube plug-in from skp.mvps.org. After you install the plug-in, you will find a new "Insert YouTube Video" command in your PowerPoint Toolbar.

This method on how to put a YouTube video in PowerPoint is simple since you merely need to type the URL of the video you wish to embed. Follow the wizard in order to add the YouTube video player to your slide. You are free to resize and move the player anywhere on the slide.

How to Put a YouTube Video in PowerPoint Without an Internet Connection

The solution mentioned above works great. The only downside is that you need an Internet connection to playback the video during the slideshow. If you conduct a presentation without the Internet, you can use this method on how to put a YouTube video in PowerPoint.

First, you have to download the video in Windows Media or convert it to AVI as PowerPoint cannot decipher the default FLV or MP4 formats of YouTube videos. You can make use of any video file format converter in order to accomplish this step. As soon as the video is saved in the proper format on your computer, open your PowerPoint application. Click on Insert, select Movie. Finally, you have to click on "Movie from file" to put the video in the PowerPoint slide.
