This article covers a few different methods, including putting the video&#8217;s direct URL into PowerPoint, changing the poster frame, and more. In addition, we&#8217;ll look at how to embed videos on other sites and change the poster frame. These methods all work for a wide variety of videos and websites.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"YouTube_URL\"><\/span>YouTube URL<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The next time you give a presentation at work or a business meeting, try adding a YouTube video. Many people find the ability to insert a video in PowerPoint to enhance the presentation, and there are plenty of YouTube videos available for free. This allows you to add an interactive element to your presentation and can be used to illustrate a point or to entertain your audience. You can even borrow a video from other channels and insert it into your presentation! You can copy the YouTube URL and paste it into PowerPoint. Once the YouTube video URL is copied, you should select the slide where you want to insert the video, and then click the Insert tab and select Video &#8211; Online Video.<\/p>\n<p>To insert a YouTube video into a PowerPoint presentation, you must use PowerPoint 365. You must also be connected to the internet at all times to successfully embed a YouTube video into a presentation. There are five basic steps you need to follow. First, you must navigate to the YouTube video page. Copy the URL that appears on the video page. Next, open PowerPoint and go to the Insert menu. Click Video. From the list, select Online Movie.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Other_sites_URL\"><\/span>Other site&#8217;s URL<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Inserting a YouTube video into your PowerPoint presentation can be a pain, but there are several ways to embed a YouTube video in your presentation. First, you must find and copy the YouTube video URL. In PowerPoint, navigate to the Insert menu, next to Home. Select Video. Then click Online Movie. Enter the URL of your YouTube video. Click OK to add the video. If you&#8217;d like to add more than one video, click the &#8220;Add Additional Media&#8221; button.<\/p>\n<p>Once you have copied the URL, you&#8217;ll need to paste it into the Insert tab. To do this, go to the Insert tab in the Ribbon and click the &#8220;Video&#8221; icon. Paste the URL into the box provided. Now, click the Insert tab and paste it into the appropriate field. A new video will appear on your PowerPoint slide. Click on Insert and paste the YouTube video URL. You can also add multiple videos with the same URL.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Embedding_YouTube_video_in_PowerPoint\"><\/span>Embedding YouTube video in PowerPoint<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you have a PowerPoint presentation, you might be wondering how to embed a YouTube video into the presentation. It&#8217;s actually quite simple, and it&#8217;s an excellent way to add interesting content and PROOF to your presentation. You need to first know what formats are supported by PowerPoint, so you can convert your YouTube video into a format that it can be embedded in. PowerPoint 2013 and 2010 both support AVI and MPEG files.<\/p>\n<p>One way to embed a YouTube video in PowerPoint is to download the video from your internet browser. This is a good option because it can reduce the file size of your presentation and will play more reliably than a video that has been downloaded directly from the website. However, downloading online videos is not recommended, as most of these sites don&#8217;t allow you to download them. In addition, downloading videos from these sites may violate the terms and conditions of the site.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Changing_the_poster_frame\"><\/span>Changing the poster frame<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You can change the poster frame on a video insert in PowerPoint to a custom one. If you have the video file saved on your computer, click the File tab and choose the &#8220;Video Format&#8221; tab. Select the &#8220;Poster Frame&#8221; option and select the image you want. Then, pauze on the desired frame. You&#8217;ll see the new poster frame. If you&#8217;d like to insert an image from an external source, click the &#8220;Add Picture&#8221; button.<\/p>\n<p>Changing the poster frame is simple. To do so, select the option that looks best on your video. It&#8217;s the first option on the Format tab. Select the option that looks best on your presentation. You can change the poster frame for the video by clicking the &#8220;Poster Frame&#8221; option in the Format dialog box. Changing the poster frame will allow you to include or exclude an image.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Insert a YouTube Video Into Powerpoint If you&#8217;re wondering how to insert a YouTube video into Powerpoint, you&#8217;ve come to the right place.
