As YouTube.com and PPT slideshow are more and more popular, many people have a problem: how to put YouTube films on Microsoft PowerPoint, how to play a FLV file in PowerPoint?
Here I will introduce you two simple methods about how to put YouTube video on PowerPoint.
I. Firstly convert, secondly insert:
Step 1: Convert the downloaded YouTube video to formats that PPT support, such as AVI, MPEG and WMV formats.
Tip: I suggest you use Xilisoft YouTube Video Converter. It can one step download FLV videos from YouTube.com and convert to other popular videos formats; it can download and save the FLV videos on your local disk; and it can convert FLV files on local disk to other videos formats. It supports the output format: AVI, MPEG, MP4, WMV, 3GP, H.264/MPEG-4 AVC, H.264/PSP AVC, etc.
Step 2: Put the converted FLV to PPT.
Click "Insert" tab at the top of PowerPoint 2007, choose "Movie", to select the video you want, the film's interface will appear. You can free adjust the player's zoom size. You can choose either showing the video automatically when the slideshow begins to play or showing when you click the video.
II. Using Windows Media Player Control to insert YouTube video into PowerPoint:
Step 1: Since Windows Media Player does not support some format, you should install FFDshow codec first. After the installation of the decoder, you can insert YouTube video into PowerPoint using Windows Media Player Control.
Step 2: Open the Control function by clicking the office button, choose "More Commands" and then select "Show Developer tab in the Ribbon". Then you can see the multi-tab "Developer". Choose "More Controls" in "Controls", and then select the "Window Media Player" in the dialog box. After the mouse changing to"+" shape, you can drag moving the mouse in editing area to add Windows Media Player to the slide. Right-click it and choose "Properties", the dialog box pop-up. Add in the "URL" item of the input video file and the whole path name (if the video file and slide file are in the same folder, you do not need to enter the path).
Well, you can choose any of the two methods to insert FLV to PPT as you like. And I think to insert YouTube video into PowerPoint can be very easy for you.
