If you’re creating a PowerPoint presentation and want to add a bit of multimedia to enhance it, adding a video excerpt from YouTube is a great option. Videos grab people’s attention, add variety to presentations, and make them more engaging.

In this article, we’ll show you how to embed a YouTube video excerpt in PowerPoint.

Step 1: Finding the YouTube video excerpt

The first step is to find the YouTube video excerpt you want to include in your PowerPoint presentation. You can use the YouTube search bar, or you can copy and paste the video URL. Make sure to choose the right video so that it aligns with the topic you’re discussing in your presentation.

Step 2: Getting the embed code

Once you’ve found the video you want to use, you need to get the embed code. The embed code is a piece of HTML code that you copy and paste into your PowerPoint presentation.

To get the embed code, click the “Share” button below the video. Then click the “Embed” button. You’ll see a box with the HTML code.

Step 3: Copying the embed code

To copy the code, click on the code in the box. It will be highlighted in blue. Then, right-click and select “Copy”. You can also use the keyboard shortcut “Ctrl+C” on Windows, or “Command+C” on a Mac.

Step 4: Adding the video excerpt to PowerPoint

Now comes the fun part, adding the video excerpt to PowerPoint. Open your PowerPoint presentation and navigate to the slide you want to add the video excerpt to.

Click on the “Insert” tab and select the “Video” dropdown. From there, select “Online Video”.

You’ll see a dialog box with a text field for you to paste in the embed code. Click in the text field and then right-click to paste the code. You can also use the keyboard shortcut “Ctrl+V” on Windows, or “Command+V” on a Mac.

Click the “Insert” button and the YouTube video excerpt will be added to your PowerPoint presentation.

Step 5: Adjusting the video excerpt

Once you add the video excerpt from YouTube, you can adjust it to your liking.

First, you can change the size of the video by clicking on it and dragging the corners to make it bigger or smaller. You can also move the video around on the slide.

Second, you can choose how the video starts and stops, whether it automatically plays or not, and whether it loops or not. You can also add a poster to show an image before the video starts playing.

Conclusion

Adding a YouTube video excerpt to your PowerPoint presentation is simple and can help make your presentation more dynamic and engaging. Remember to find the right video that fits your presentation’s topic, and follow the steps we provided to embed it. With a little creativity and the help of YouTube, you can create a more memorable and effective PowerPoint presentation.
