Play YouTube Flash Video Online in PowerPoint with Internet Access
- In PowerPoint 2007, go to PowerPoint Options -> Popular -> click “Show Developer tab in the Ribbon”.
- In the Control Toolbox, click the last icon “More Controls” which is displayed as hammer plus wrench. In the set of controls available on your computer, select “Shockwave Flash Object”. Then use your mouse to draw and resize an area in the slide as you like to place your YouTube video.
- Go to the YouTube video page you’d like to add, and check the URL in the address bar of your Web browser. You’ll get an address like http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hChq5drjQl4 Change the phrase watch?v= to v/, and now the address become http://www.youtube.com/v/hChq5drjQl4
- Right click the area you drew which is displayed as a big cross, select Properties and go to Properties tab. Copy and paste the YouTube video address in the field as value of attribute Movie; set the value of attribute Playing and Loop to False. Close the Properties tab when everything is done.

As long as you have it working that’s fine, this is just another way to completely embed in the ppt, may work better if presentation is outside of ECU. There are also ways to download and embed if you do not have an internet connection for more information contact our office.
I have cut & pasted the YouTube links into a Powerpoint and it has worked fine in the CAHS classrooms Is there a reason I should do this procedure instead of a simple cut & paste?
I used the tip before in my powerpoint presentation. It worked on my desktop but when i tried to use it in the classroom, it did not. My guess is that the security setting of the computers in the classrooms block the access. Better try it from the classroom before the lecture.
