Answer 1

To put a youtube video into PowerPoint presentation:



Method A:(Play the PowerPoint offline)

1.Download Youtube video with the free software Leawo Free Video Accelerator (http://www.leawo.com/video-accelerator/ )

2.Then convert the Youtube video to .wmv format with

Leawo Free FLV Converter (http://www.leawo.com/download/flv-converter/flvconverter_free.exe )

3.Insert the .wmv video into PowerPoint

Step 1: On the Insert tab, point to Movies and Sounds, and then click Movie from File.

Step 2: Click the video you want to use and then click OK.

Step 3: After you click OK, you' are promoted with a message asking how you want the movie to start in the slide show. I recommend you choosing "Automatically "even if you want the movie to play when clicked. And that's done.

Tips:

1. This is the easiest way to insert a video.

2. Only video in formats of AVI, MPEG and WMV can be inserted in this way

3. Always put the movie in the same folder as your PowerPoint presentation.If you later move the PowerPoint presentation to another computer, copy the movie too. Keeping your movie in the same folder as your presentation ensures the link will still work. However, you should always test the movie on a new machine just to be certain. Re-insert the movie, if necessary.



Method B:(Play the PowerPoint online)

You need four steps to make it:

Step 1: Get URL of the video

Step 2: Insert the ActiveX Control Shockwave Flash Object to your PowerPoint

Step 3: Add the the video link to your PowerPoint

Step 4: Fine tune the video in your PowerPoint file

Answer 2

Well there are two ways

1. .Mp3 way

Insert -> Audio -> Select the File

Go to the animation pane to select if it will play by its own and things like that

Note: When you insert an mp3, it doesn't embed it into your powerpoint. It saves the file as a path to your mp3, so if you don't plan to play the powerpoint on the same computer, you might need a USB key to do this.



2. .Wav

Transition -> Sound -> Other Sound -> Choose Sound

It should play automatically when you reach the slide.

Note: This method saves the music file inside your powerpoint, so it doesn't matter if you move the file from computer to computer, it should still work. However, .wav's are big files, so they may make your powerpoint quite big.



Embedding Youtube Videos:

You could do this two ways. The easier way is to download the video using a site such as keepvid.com or savevid.com, and inserting it into your powerpoint (WMV is saved inside for sure, not all movie files are though).

The other way is as explained in this webpage (sorry never really did it this way before).
