Answer 1

You need to download and convert the flv youtube videos to avi or whatever format can be imported into the powerpoint app.



U can use for example Audials Tunebite Youtube Downloader, cause this one can both download and convert youtube flv videos to whatever format you need them to be into:

That pretty much takes care pf the problem.

Answer 2

Method A:(Play the PowerPoint without Internet)

1.Download Youtube video with the free software Leawo Free Video Accelerator (http://www.leawo.com/video-accelerator/ )

2.Then convert the Youtube video to .wmv format with

Leawo Free FLV Converter (http://www.leawo.com/download/flv-converter/flvconverter_free.exe )

3.Insert the .wmv video into PowerPoint

Step 1: On the Insert tab, point to Movies and Sounds, and then click Movie from File.

Step 2: Click the video you want to use and then click OK.

Step 3: After you click OK, you' are promoted with a message asking how you want the movie to start in the slide show. I recommend you choosing "Automatically "even if you want the movie to play when clicked. And that's done.

Tips:

1. This is the easiest way to insert a video.

2. Only video in formats of AVI, MPEG and WMV can be inserted in this way

3. 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.



Method B:(Play the PowerPoint with Internet)

You need four steps to make it:

Step 1: Get URL of the video

Step 2: Insert the ActiveX Control Shockwave Flash Object to your PowerPoint

Step 3: Add the the video link to your PowerPoint

Step 4: Fine tune the video in your PowerPoint file

Answer 5

To include a movie or video clip in a PowerPoint presentation, you simply click 'Insert', click on 'movies and sounds', then click 'movie from file'.



Keep in mind that PowerPoint only recognizes MP3, AVI and few other file formats so if you cannot add a video because it is FLV or some other unrecognized media type, then you simply download a video format converter, to convert the file to a recognized format.

Answer 6

You can download Youtube videos from a program called "any video converter". Download it, get into the program, go into the download screen, copy and paste the url address of the video, make sure the file type is something that powerpoint can understand, and press convert. Go into powerpoint, and import the video.
