You cannot embed YouTube videos or videos from online websites in the 64-bit version of Microsoft PowerPoint 2010 - which is what we have here at Winona State.

To insert a YouTube video (or any video from an online website) into a PowerPoint 2010 (64-bit) presentation you must first download that video to your computer.

Download YouTube Videos to Your Computer

  • To download a YouTube video to your computer, navigate to the YouTube video that you wish to insert and in new tab or window go to: http://en.savefrom.net/

  • The window will load and you should see different options to download the video. Click on what size you want the YouTube video to be. I suggest you select MP4 720P

  • At the bottom of your screen it will ask if you want to Open, Save or Cancel.
