If you&#8217;re trying to embed the YouTube video in your PowerPoint presentation, you can&#8217;t use it because it is not supported by PowerPoint. You can&#8217;t embed videos from other websites in PowerPoint, as YouTube&#8217;s playback options are restricted. And, since YouTube&#8217;s video is subject to copyright, you can&#8217;t embed it in your PowerPoint presentation.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"YouTube_video_isnt_supported_by_PowerPoint\"><\/span>YouTube video isn&#8217;t supported by PowerPoint<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you want to insert YouTube video into a PowerPoint slide, you will need to use Microsoft PowerPoint 2010. The easiest way to do this is to copy and paste the YouTube embed code into the appropriate dialog box on the slide. The YouTube video will appear in the middle of the slide, and you can resize and position it however you wish. In this article, we will cover some of the ways to insert a YouTube video into PowerPoint.<\/p>\n<p>If the video doesn&#8217;t play in PowerPoint, it may be because it&#8217;s not in the correct format. In this case, you need to change the file path of the video to a format that is supported by PowerPoint. If you have a mp4 file, it is possible that you don&#8217;t have the right codec for it. If you don&#8217;t know what codec to choose, you can try changing the codec settings in your computer&#8217;s operating system. If you have a PC that can handle 1920&#215;1080 pixels, you can use Compress Media to reduce the video resolution.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"YouTube_video_isnt_in_the_same_folder_as_the_presentation\"><\/span>YouTube video isn&#8217;t in the same folder as the presentation<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve been unable to embed a YouTube video in a PowerPoint presentation, you can use the same technique as inserting a YouTube video. Rather than embedding a video, you can link it to your presentation. Unlike embedding, this method is lighter and can load more quickly. But the drawback is that you can&#8217;t share the presentation over the internet. Also, if you move the video, it won&#8217;t appear in the presentation. To avoid this, save the video to the same folder as the PowerPoint presentation. You can also resize the video as necessary, but keep it in mind that this process may cause the video to disappear.<\/p>\n<p>To add a YouTube video in your PowerPoint presentation, simply copy and paste the YouTube URL into the text box in the slideshow. The URL will open the video in your browser. If you are using a different browser, you can also include the URL in your presentation. You can also use hyperlinks to open the video in a browser. The video will play in a new window if it&#8217;s hosted on a separate server.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"YouTube_video_thumbnail_isnt_great_quality\"><\/span>YouTube video thumbnail isn&#8217;t great quality<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If your YouTube video thumbnail isn&#8217;t great quality, you might want to try changing it. YouTube will give you three different thumbnails for your video. Unfortunately, these thumbnails are not of high quality, so the odds of getting the one you want are low. Here are some tips to improve the quality of your thumbnail:<\/p>\n<p>Keep in mind that the thumbnail is seen mostly on mobile phones, so it&#8217;s critical that it&#8217;s readable. Rather than using text on a dark background, use your video title instead. Avoid using too many words and don&#8217;t make the text background too busy. As much as possible, use a logo or a still image, if necessary. This way, you won&#8217;t have to spend hours creating the image from scratch.<\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t put too much text in the YouTube video thumbnail. You&#8217;ll want to leave some space between images, so your viewers can read the text. Don&#8217;t forget to include your logo, which will give your video more brand recognition. Try placing your logo in the top right corner of your thumbnail. Vogue has a similar position for their logo. By following the same style with your YouTube video thumbnail, you&#8217;ll be more likely to attract viewers.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"YouTube_video_is_subject_to_copyright\"><\/span>YouTube video is subject to copyright<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>In a PowerPoint presentation, is a YouTube video subject to copyright? Embedding a YouTube video into a presentation can be a tricky proposition, and if done wrong, you may risk losing your Google AdSense account. To avoid this pitfall, it is important to ask the video&#8217;s owner for permission to embed the video. Even if it is &#8220;public domain,&#8221; it is not necessarily free.<\/p>\n<p>The YouTube terms of service state that &#8220;you may not download, distribute, broadcast, display, sell, or license a YouTube video.&#8221; But that&#8217;s not necessarily true. You can use a YouTube video in a private university classroom and to spruce up your business website. The terms don&#8217;t apply to these situations, but clever users can work around them. However, you should always contact the video creator to get the permission to embed a YouTube video into a PowerPoint presentation.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe allowfullscreen=\"true\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/4LSJCv-26Q0\" height=\"306\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"547\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Insert a YouTube Video Into PowerPoint The reason for this problem is that the YouTube video is not in the same folder as your PowerPoint presentation.
