How to Put a YouTube video into a PowerPoint

This video was made for students, but can be helpful for all audiences. The beginning of the video also addresses some of the drawing tools in PowerPoint (I draw an iPod Touch to set the stage for the video). To skip straight to how to insert the video, go to about 5 minutes in.

we're going to learn how to put a
youtube video into a powerpoint
presentation now a lot of students ask
me why do it
by the way did you not love that
transition that's called glitter and
it's in the microsoft office 2010
powerpoint
um but why do it i put a video from you
tube into your power . well it enhances
the presentation some people learn
better when there is a video in there
it also does some of the work for you so
maybe you're tired of standing up there
talking and there's this great video
that helps out gives you give your
audience a little bit more information
I put the video in there let them watch
it and it really captivate the audience
a lot of people like looking at video i
don't recommend making powerpoints
entirely out of different videos
obviously but I you can absolutely add a
lot to your presentation
so we're going to go ahead and get
started
first things first let's go and find the
video that we want to put in our power .
now i am actually just going to get a
video that I've already put on youtube
it's not educational at all there are a
lot of great educational videos of
course on youtube and elsewhere out
there in the internet world but like i
said i'm just going to go with one that
I have
it's mine it's all mine so yeah not
using anybody else's
so I'm going to youtube com and I want
to find my video well i am this computer
teacher
so let's see what I got out there I just
have one video standing so low right now
there have a lot of videos ready to go
up there but we're going to just start
with the 1i have you will see that
yes that's me with longer that i was
part of a hair donation challenge at my
school and June few months ago so i have
much shorter hair now look a little bit
different but I want to put this video
in my power . so smooth
what I need to do well let's go back to
powerpoint and
I have a PowerPoint slide all ready for
it says youtube video example one thing
that I kind of like to do and you might
like to do it you might not like to do
it but sometimes it's kind of fun to
draw something maybe like an ipod touch
or some kind of you know laptop or
technology computer internet-enabled
device like a cell phone
maybe that will play videos that you
kind of have this little backdrop that
can be kind of cool it doesn't have to
be hard
I am NOT extremely good at drawing
illustrating but i do know how to use
shapes so i'm going to insert shapes and
i'm going to see get this one right here
it's called the rounded rectangle and
i'm going to just draw it here and there
it is now I don't get rid of that box it
was already there that says click here
to add text I'm just going to click on
the edge of that can delete and now it's
gone well
hmm this is kind of a tangerine color
I'm not really seeing that ipod this
color so i'm going to choose format and
well let's just make it black
there we go and yes and I need to place
to put the video I'm going back to
insert shapes and i'm going to use just
the regular rectangle and you guys will
see why in just a second
so let's just draw a box again what's
with the orange
I don't know it was already there so I'm
going to just choose this white one with
the black outline and now i'm going to
draw my play buttons shapes and this is
an oval
it's not really a circle and I'm looking
I'm looking I'm looking
I don't really see a circle so how do we
make it a circle so there's a trick you
just click on it
hold down your Shift key while you draw
the oval and obviously it is constrained
to be a circle so no matter what i do
you as long as I'm holding the shift key
down
it is a circle I'm gonna let go oops
sorry
let go too soon Oh
undo button up here dragon insert shapes
oval hold down the shift key
there you go ok i'll let go shift a
little early while you but I'm going to
go back to format and do the same thing
I'm gonna make this white with a black
outline and insert shapes
oval hold down the shift he draw my
little circle in the middle for matt
white with a black outline
ok kana looks like an applied not
perfect but like i said i'm not
extremely artistic
so how to get the video in EM well this
magic little tab here called the
Developer tab and chances are if you
have not done this yet your Developer
tab is not showing up here in the in the
menu
the tab menu so let's get the Developer
tab what do we do well we got a file
kind of like the magic button there if
you are in microsoft office 2007 you
will choose the office button which is
the big round button up here in the top
left corner and somewhere in there it
says options
just like this one does cook options and
customize ribbon
I think for you guys in 2007 it might be
like advanced or something like that but
you're looking to make sure that this
Developer tab is chat
so this is main tabs customers the
ribbon the ribbon for those of you who
might not realize that is this new this
bar really toolbar up here at the top
and it was new in 2007 and they've
carried at fourth and two thousand and
top 10 to make sure developers checked
click ok and here's my Developer tab
next for controls
there is one right here it says more
controls i'm going to click on that and
i'm looking for a shockwave flash object
it's an alphabetic order so shockwave
flash object is going to be right here
of course with the s's so click
she's okay well I didn't do anything why
not all this because we have to draw so
I wanted to have the square edges versus
the rounded ones for this reason right
here and it doesn't have to be exact but
pretty close
so now I have this beautiful x in the
middle of our pretend ipod touch and we
need it to be the video so let's right
click on this and let's look at the
properties for the shockwave flash
object and make them . to the video on
YouTube that we want
so I'm going to right-click again if you
missed it right click with my mouse
choose properties and I get all the
properties of this object now movie is
the one that we want we have to put
something here to make our video play
and this is where we go and get the
needed information from YouTube
so I'm going back to youtube and if you
click on share underneath the video
there is a link to the video some videos
have this enabled
I'm sorry that's in bed click on share
and then here you'll find a link to the
video so I'm just going to right click
and copy and come back in a PowerPoint
and right click and paste that code
now i'm just looking through it and
we're almost done
there's this tedious little step that we
have to do tedious of course meaning a
little bit detailed everywhere you see
the watch ? right here
oops let me get just watch ? everywhere
we see the watch ? we have to get rid of
it
otherwise our video will not slip and
there's the watch
delete using my arrow to get the
question mark next
everywhere we see the equal sign we have
to make it the forward slash which is
the same m / that's on the question mark
ii on your keyword so make sure there's
no more equal signs
somebody is one more so I have
/i got rid of the watch ? and i change
that equal sign that was after the movie
and to another
/and I think I'm good ok so let me just
kind of clothes out of here and I don't
see my video well not yet because you
have to go and look at the slide show
so let's do slideshow from current slide
and move that's a beautiful transition i
think that's called vortex and RX
disappeared
and hey look there's our video and i'm
going to click Play and it will play and
when it's done
kind of cool you know when a video is
done on youtube it gives you lots of
other suggestions for videos that might
be related
hi I'm a teacher actually here in Durham
North Carolina and I just power . the
video is actually pop up at the bottom
to say that this friday not a very
beautiful picture but congratulations
