How+to+embed+video+in+PowerPoint

Of course, you can always paste a simple LINK to the video from your presentation, but if you want the video to play right in a slide during your presentation, follow these steps:

1. Open PowerPoint and choose a slide that is appropriate for your presentation. 2. Look for the DEVELOPER tab in your tool bar. If the tab is there open that tab. If it is not there, use the MOB to open POWER POINT OPTIONS. Click the box for SHOW DEVELOPER TAB.

 3. In the DEVELOPER tab, find the CONTROLS group and click on the tools icon.  4. Scroll down to "Shockwave Flash Object."  5. Draw a box the size you want on your slide. Right click on the box and choose "Properties."  6. Copy the URL of the YouTube video you would like to play, and paste it in the box next to “Movie.” You'll need to make a few changes to your URL to make it work:   7. In the URL, delete the " watch? " and replace the “ = ” with a “ / ”.  So… “http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i-eaGyfLBEE” BECOMES: “http://www.youtube.com/v/=i-eaGyfLBEE”  8. Save your presentation to where you want it. Then open it and view the slide show to make sure the video is working properly.

Here is an example with a good embedded video (AND THE VIDEO GOES OVER THIS PROCESS TOO!):
