Problem:

 Cannot play video from YouTube through PowerPoint 2013

 Solution:

PowerPoint. Insert Video From Website Suddenly Will Not Play UPDATE

You have sucessfully inserted a video from Website in PowerPoint 2010 but suddenly the video doesn't play.

If you try to preview it (RIGHT click in edit mode > Preview) you get a message to install a later version of Flash Player. Problem is you already have the latest version!

Good News - It might be possible to fix this

You Tube have moved the goalposts at least twice since the original fix we posted. This fix seems to work in 2010 Office at the moment and in some versions of 2013. We have no idea when the goalposts will move again though.

Typical Insert

Lets look at some typical insert code, yours may be different. Note how the version appears twice.



Notice that version=3 appears twice and the URL starts with //www.youtube.com (TWICE).

Change version=3 to version=2 in both places and add http: before the URL as below.


Hopefully it will now play!

We now have both a FREE AddIn that (at the moment!) can deduce the correct embed code from the URL of the You Tube AND automate the old 2007 insert Shockwave method which will usually work in 2010 / 2013


UPDATE #42

Looks like Microsoft have removed the embed code feature in 2013 altogether. presumeably while they work on a fix. The OLD INSERT still seems to work with the free addin and if you have access to 2010 inserting (using the code generator in the addin) seems to work and the saved file plays for us in 2013.

However, do remember to modify the file path as appropriate when creating the symbolic link later. Step 2:  Press  Windows-R  to open the Run box. If you are using the desktop version of iTunes, type the following into the search box: %APPDATA%\Apple Computer\MobileSync If you are using the Windows Store version of iTunes, type the following instead, but make sure to replace  C with the correct drive letter of your primary Windows 10 partition, and  [USERNAME]  with your Windows username: C:\Users\[USERNAME]\Apple\MobileSync Once you're done, click OK.
