Insert Video from Web – PowerPoint 2010

Just a quick look at how you can insert a video into your slide presentation from the Web. In this example I will use YouTube.

First you must find the video you want to insert into your presentation so I went to YouTube and picked a random video I found. (You can click on the image to see a bigger version.)

Copy the embed code as highlighted in red in the screenshot above.

Back in PowerPoint, find the slide you want the video inserted on and go to the Insert tab and click on Video. Choose Video from Web site….

A new window will pop-up. Past the copied embed code and click insert.

The video will show up on the slide.
