Add YouTube Video to PowerPoint

Get YouTube Video URL

• Locate the YouTube videos URL at the top of the page
• It probably looks like: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g5PyIVVKoWU
• Remove the watch?v=
• Replace it with v/
• The URL will now look something like: http://www.youtube.com/v/g5PyIVVKoWU
• Test the URL by pasting it into a Web browser to make sure you're seeing just the video and not the rest of the YouTube interface
