PowerPoint allows you to insert objects in the presentation slides and you can also insert a YouTube video easier than you think in case in your project you need that the people who are going to see the presentation have to see a video from this platform.
If at any time you need to put a YouTube video or even several within one of the slides that you are creating, you should not worry because it is not complicated at all, in fact, PowerPoint itself offers a very easy-to-use tool to insert the video .
Once inserted you can make it bigger or smaller, and put it where you want, although when you run the full screen presentation view, you will have to press play to play its content because so far it is not done automatically.
The steps to follow to put any YouTube video on the slides are as follows:
- Locate the video on the YouTube website and copy the entire link in the address bar of your browser.
- Now go into PowerPoint, go to the slide where you are going to insert it and once there, click on the “insert” tab .
- Then click on “video / online video” and a new window will open with a wizard.
- The only thing you have to do now is paste the address of the video that you previously copied into the “write the address of the online video” field. When you have it, click on “insert” and wait a few seconds, in a few moments you will see a preview of the video.
You will realize that the video already appears on your PowerPoint slide, now is the time to move and resize it to suit your taste. There are no limits to adding videos from websites , so you can add several to each slide or one for each of them.
By the way, as you can follow the previous steps to insert a YouTube video , you can also do it for Vimeo content and other websites, such as Steam and Slideshare, for now they are the only websites with which PowerPoint is compatible .
