How do I embed a YouTube video in a presentation

[Bobby]

I would like to include a YouTube video in a presentation (using PowerPoint
2007).

Can I do this without just linking to the YouTube page?

Cheers.

Bobby

Hi Bobby

I found this here: http://www.playsforcertain.com/tutorial.htm
"I can't insert video from Google or YouTube: Google (now the owners of
YouTube) uses a proprietary file format and player for their streaming video
and it is not compatible with the Windows Media Player or PowerPoint. There
are applications (do an internet search) to convert them to a more standard
format. I will however caution that these video's are usually of a lower
quality and suffer badly from the conversion process. In most cases we
recommend contacting the person that posted the video and asking them for a
copy of their original file. (I've found that most people are flattered and
happy to provide a copy.)"

Hope that helps

Lucy

Apologies if someone replied hours ago, this discussion groups seem to have
gone a little crazy for me...
