the MOST

In the past, when people have asked me how to embed a YouTube video in PowerPoint, I have hung my head and said that I had not yet found a way to do it.  Then I would tell them about hyperlinking or having someone convert the file type.  Thank goodness those days have passed, and I can hold my head high again.  While perusing the Microsoft Office blogs, I found a great entry about how to embed YouTube and MSN SoapBox videos in PowerPoint slides. 

How to Insert that funny clip you found online.* 

When presenting the presentation, you will need to have internet access to show the video.

I highly recommend watching the “Evolution of Dance” video used in the post.  It’s been years since I thought about the Shopping Cart, the Lawn Mower, and the Sprinkler.

* These instructions are for PowerPoint 2007.  To get to the More Controls button in PowerPoint 2003 you will go to the View menu, hover over Toolbars, and select Control Toolbox.  After you have drawn the object onto the slide, you will right click on it and select Properties to access the Properties box.
