Insert a YouTube Video into Your PowerPoint Presentation

From Wendy Russell, former About.com Guide

YouTube Video Placeholder

The YouTube video wizard inserts a placeholder on your PowerPoint slide with a large X in the center. To see the YouTube video in action, you must watch the presentation as a slide show.

1. Choose Slide Show > View Show or press the F5 key on your keyboard.
   
   
2. Press the Esc key to exit the slide show.

Note - It is important to note that you must have a live internet connection in order to view the YouTube video in your PowerPoint presentation. The YouTube video is not embedded into the presentation, but simply linked to it on the web.
