A student today came up to the desk asking for help to embed a YouTube video into her PowerPoint. This is possible and depending on which PowerPoint version you are using, step by step directions can be found here. However, a simpler alternative to insert a video into a presentation is to download the YouTube video and insert it as a .mp4 file rather than embedding the video.
The website KeepVid.com can be used to download YouTube videos to .mp4 file formats and your preferred quality. Simply paste the url link of the desired video to begin downloading the file to your computer. Once the download is finished, open PowerPoint, click the insert tab, and then Movie/Video depending on if you're using a Mac or PC. From here you can browse your computer and select the downloaded YouTube file, which will then be added to your presentation slide!
