How to Add YouTube Flash Videos to Your PowerPoint Presentations
Struggling to embed YouTube videos in your PowerPoint Presentations? No worries, you’ve landed in the right place. Embedding video files means that the video content will play on its own directly from your presentation without having to open a separate browser window.

Open you presentation – Double click the presentation file. If you haven’t made the presentation, double click the PowerPoint’s icon and choose Blank Presentation. You can also opt for a template that best suits your needs. You can find these downloadable PowerPoint templates online. Some are free, while others are paid.
Select the slide on which you wish to embed a YouTube Video. Tap the slide on left side of PowerPoint.
