YouTube video embedded in PowerPoint?

Hi, if you want to insert youtube video to PowerPoint, you should download the youtube video at first, the downloaded video is in flv format. Then google "insert flv to PowerPoint" you will find some useful tutorials for you.

And then reverse it all to get back to the PP. I do it fast but it is still very cumbersome.

Is there a way to embed a YouTube video? I've seen in done on webpages before. I do want it to play full screen or close to it. Can anyone help?

BTW, the clip is the part "Remember Who You Are" where Cimba sees the spirit of his father who reminds Cimba he is more than who he has become - he is the son of a king. Very cool parallel to our Christianity. I think it is going to be awesome.

I've been away, but in catching up I found this thread. Anyways, I have downloaded vids off of Youtube using a Firefox plug in (the name of which I can't think of) and there's usually an option to download the same video in mp4 format instead of flv. Does PowerPoint play those?

I want to post the web page of tutorial to you, but i can't post link in my post yet. Generally, you can embed online YouTube video and off-line YouTube video to PowerPoint, you can Google search it.

I'm afraid you need to download and convert the youtube video to avi or wmv and then embed it to PowerPoint, this is tutorial - youtubeking10.blogspot.com/2010/08/download-and-embed-youtube-video-to.html

What I do is I use mediaconverter.org to convert the video into an AVI.

Just copy and paste the YouTube link when it asks, choose AVI for the file type and click convert. Download it and put it into a PowerPoint. It's easy and is what I've done for years.
