Ever wondered how you can show YouTube videos within your PowerPoint presentation? The following video from reponzo01 shows you how to do this.
A few notes:
- The video in the example is computer game violence, so be warned.
- The creator of the video points out that this doesn't work very well on Macs.
- The videos might take time to load when you come to the slide, as they are being streamed from the internet.
- There is another version for offline presentations. However, there are issues, as noted in the comments on the video page.
If embedding isn't a priority but immediate playback is, you can pre-load YouTube videos in your web browser. Go to the video page and click play to start loading them. Click pause to stop the video from playing. The video will continue loading in the background. When you need to show the video, switch from your presentation to the video page and play the video immediately.
Oh yes, if you're looking for a place to host your videos, you can try TeacherTube. It's free and there are no upload limits!
