How to insert a video on Microsoft Power Point

Have you ever had the need of an extra aid in your power point presentations, an instructional or an extra element that completes it such as a video? Well fear no more, even if you were not afraid that it was not possible; the solution is here.

First, open Microsoft power point. Click on archive.

Then click on the options tab and this will pop up. Once there, click the quick access, click the downward arrow and look for developer tab.

Onc1e you have done that, you will want to look for something that looks like this.

Click on it and click add, now hit accept and close it.

Now that we have completed that, click that new icon on the upper left corner next to the presentation Icon and look for shockwave flash object.

Now lets travel to youtube, find the video that your powerpoint needs and follow this quick process. I will be using a comedy video as an example. Click on the videos url and delete "watch?" and delete the [=] that follows a letter [v] afterwards. Replace the equal sign with [/]

Now the address should look like this [https://www.youtube.com/v/15nNY7uofNw]

This new address leads us to our last and final step before you can enjoy the video in your presentation. Go back to Power Point and right click the shockwave flash object and click properties.

 

Now, paste your new address in the green square next to movie and close up properties. Start your presentation and you should be able to watch the video. Now you can really bring life to boring presentations and give them a spark of life.
