Using PowerPoint 2007: I've successfully linked the YouTube video I want into
my presentation using the Shockwave Flash Object but it won't autoplay when
that slide is shown. I made sure that Play = True on the Properties screen
but when I start the show it won't autoplay. When I go back to Properties
Play is now False. We use this presentation to loop in our lobby so I need it
to play without hitting the play button.

Also, I need to make sure the flash video starts over on the next loop of
the presentation.

Thanks! -Ashley
 
Ashley, I wonder if you might have better luck using TubeSock to convert the
YouTube video to a friendlier format, like WMV. I find that they are easier
to deal with as WMVs than as Flash objects. Only $15 too...
 
Hi Ashley

I would download the video first as a wmv using the totally free
www.vixy.net service. Or download as an flv using the firefox media
converter add-in then convert (using SUPER).

Download the YouTube video onto your computer first with free online
service,
then insert it to your PowerPoint.
Here is a tutorial:
