Without any additional codecs installed, Windows and OS X don't share a lot in common. Since some versions of PPT (Mac) only allow.mp4 encode, this is also a way to embed NON.mp4 files (.mp4 works too, but you probably know how to embed that already!) I tried One Drive, One Drive Business and Google Drive, only Google Drive worked! I hope I've helped! I wanted a way to play video to play in PPT (no matter which version), without storing the video in the actual PPT file. Navigate to the web and locate a YouTube video you wish to display in PowerPoint. Create a slide in PowerPoint to display the video. If you use a PC, the convert and download steps are not necessary and the URL may be simply pasted onto the slide or assigned a hyperlink to a word or graphic object of your choice.
Click 'Share' under the video and then click 'Embed.' Select all of the video's embed code and then press 'Ctrl-C.' Open the PowerPoint slide for which you want to embed the video.
Open the video in YouTube that you wish to embed into your presentation. I have a massive library that would take me DAYS to upload to YouTube, so that wasn't a option.Įmbedding Videos with the PowerPoint YouTube Feature. So I've been tearing my hair out trying to embed a video into PPT.
