2.Embed YouTube video into PowerPoint
Tips:
Always put the movie in the same folder as your PowerPoint presentation. If you later move the PowerPoint presentation to another computer, copy the movie too. Keeping your movie in the same folder as your presentation ensures the link will still work. However, you should always test the movie on a new machine just to be certain. Re-insert the movie, if necessary.
PowerPoint 2003 and PowerPoint 2007 may a little different.

Hi,

To get YouTube movies into PowerPoint....

Macintosh PowerPoint users should follow these instructions:

Windows PowerPoint users can use a free add-in to directly put PowerPoint into YouTube. Here's a link to the free add-in:

When the video is in powerpoint you have the option to hide or display the video playback controls. If you allow the controls to be displayed then you can pause and play any portion of the video as you like.
