Asked By Halton Roy 50 points N/A Posted on - 08/19/2012

Hello, yesterday i did try to insert a video from YouTube in Microsoft PowerPoint. When I am copying the code from YouTube I am getting an error. Can someone show me how to do this?

 

PowerPoint cannot insert a video from this embed code. Verify that the embed code is correct, and then try again.

Getting error message when embedding YouTube Code into PowerPoint

Hi,

It’s a very known and common issue people suffer while attaching or pasting videos from web or YouTube.

There is a very simple and easy trick to it which most likely will attach the video to ppt.

Right before copying the embedded code of the video of YouTube instead of clicking on “Embedded Code” button on the side of window, drag the mouse pointer to video and right click on video, click on “Copy Embedded HTML” and paste this code in your ppt.

Hope this works!!
