But how to add a YouTube video in PowerPoint to make your presentation a far more engaging experience? Take it easy, here we will show you how to insert YouTube video into PowerPoint easily.
How to insert a YouTube video into PowerPoint? The ways to insert YouTube videos into PowerPoint can be split into two categories: you can either add YouTube into PowerPoint after downloading the YouTube videos with a proper YouTube downloader, or directly link the YouTube video in the slide. Which one to choose will depend on your internet connection. However, unless you want to take the risk of getting stuck in the middle of a meeting for the buffering or fail to open the YouTube videos which are deleted by the uploader, you'd better put a YouTube video into PowerPoint after download. Below we are going to discuss this highly recommended option: download YouTube videos and then add YouTube clips in PowerPoint.
Before we go to see how to embed a YouTube video in PowerPoint, the very first thing is to have a clear idea of what formats can be used in it.

PowerPoint 2013 – AVI, MP4, M4V, MOV, MPG, MPEG, SWF, or WMV.
PowerPoint 2010 – SWF, AVI, MPG, MPEG, WMV.
PowerPoint 2007 – AVI, MPG, MPEG, WMV
