The video plays directly from the website, and it has the site's controls for playing, pausing, volume, and so on. The PowerPoint playback features (Fade, Bookmark, Trim, and so on) don't apply to online videos.

By default, videos from YouTube and Vimeo play in "click sequence." You can play the video without having to click the Play button. Just tap the spacebar to advance to the next step in your click sequence.

For the purpose of playing videos in PowerPoint, Internet Explorer 11 is required to be on your computer. You don't have to use it to browse the web; you simply have to have it installed, because under the covers, PowerPoint needs its technology to play videos on Windows.

If your operating system is Windows 10, then you already have Internet Explorer 11 installed. If you have an older version of Windows, you can go to this Internet Explorer Downloads page for instructions.

A video rectangle is placed on your slide, which you can move and resize as you like. To preview your video on your slide, right-click the video rectangle, select Preview, and then click the Play button on the video.

In PowerPoint for the web, you can insert an online video from YouTube or Vimeo on a slide. (If you have a Microsoft 365 business or education subscription, you can also insert an online video from Microsoft Stream.)

PowerPoint for the web can't trim videos, and online videos can't be trimmed. If you have a video that you want to trim, you must save it to your computer, then insert it on your slide in a desktop version of PowerPoint.

In PowerPoint for Microsoft 365 for Mac, PowerPoint 2021 for Mac, or PowerPoint 2019 for Mac, you can insert an online video from YouTube or Vimeo on a slide. Earlier versions of PowerPoint for macOS don't support inserting an online video.

I created a PowerPoint slideshow. I want it to run it on a TV screen that has a built-in web browser, auto-loop, and I also want users to be able to view it from their laptops. I currently can do this using google docs / google drive, but I'm trying to do this using mainly Office 365 technologies, and avoid google docs.

Currently, I can manually load it up, and get it full screen, and the only show stopper is that it doesn't loop. Preferably, the link would force it full screen without manually clicking to run the slideshow.

so if you put an id="slideFrame" on the iframe of your embedded powerpoint and the wdEaa=1 as mentioned in the original question in the URL, your slide show will auto play to the settings on the slides... the iframe will then reload after 20,000 milliseconds (so in my example, it took 20 seconds for my slideshow to complete. ) its not ideal but it works for a kiosk type show where you are looping a slideshow over and over on a web page.

We are in the process of moving to a SOE of windows 11 enrolled through auto pilot. There have been a few hiccups, but mostly going well.
The odd issue we are having now is that when staff insert a video from YouTube into PowerPoint on the SOE, you cannot play the video. You click play and nothing happens. It just doesn't play. No errors or event log entires.

I have had a look and cannot see any policies that would be blocking that from happening. We have 'Policies for Office apps' enabled with the suggested security baseline. The only two configured for PowerPoint are "Block macros from running in Office files from the internet" and "VBA Macro Notification Settings". none of these specifically state they will block that kind of internet files.

Does anyone else have any idea what might be blocking this? The policies were built with a 3rd party and that person is no longer available for questioning so trying to work out what has been blocked on my own.

After researching, I didn't find any link describe the same issue with the above setting. But, to confirm if the video in PowerPoint is blocked by this setting. I suggest choose one test user and device, open the PPT with the video insert to see if it can work. If it can work, then we can deploy the same security baseline policy to this user or device with "Block macros from running in Office files from the internet" set to see if will be affected.

Hi Crystal,
Thanks for your reply. Haven't had a chance to test, but the end user is saying that they are now working. If it is, I'm not changing anything. Just another weird intune thing I guess.

Windows 11 devices enrolled with Intune, embedded video's in powerpoint just do not respond. No error message, tried alot of checkboxes in powerpoint without result. We are not aware of setting the "Block macros from running in Office files from the internet"

The only thing that fixed ours was time. Apparently, PowerPoint uses IE is play embedded videos, obviously IE isn't included in windows 11. I don't know anything about why or the technical side, but after some time it's like PowerPoint realized it needed to use edge and then things just started working again. Not helpful at all I know, but just the way it happened for us.

The only thing that seemed to resolve it for me was logging out of office and then it works, after logging back into office it continued to work. Which doesn't make sense but somehow resolved it. Rather strange!

Did this post not resolve your issue? If so please give us some more information so we can try and help - please remember we cannot see over your shoulder so be as descriptive as possible!

Hi Mark, it was the desktop software powerpoint. Once I add the link I uploaded the file to docsend and then reviewed the docsend link to find that nothing happens at all when it gets to the page with the video. This does work with the desktop verison of word however but thats not a solution because you can't neatly convert a powerpoint file to word. Beleive me I have tried. The best that docsend support could say was "it works fine for us!". Useless lot.

There is no error. When any user, including myself, reaches that slide when viewing through a docsend link, nothing happens. No error message, no play button. It's as if nothing was embedded before. And as I say, it does work with Microsoft word.

If you would like to link to an outside source within your PowerPoint presentation, you have the option of using a hyperlink or action button. These instructions are for Office 2016, 2013, 2010, and 2007.

In PowerPoint, you can create a hyperlink using any text within your presentation. When clicked on, a hyperlink can directly link to a specific slide within your presentation, a saved file, a web page, another PowerPoint presentation, or a custom email.
To insert a hyperlink into your presentation:

A PowerPoint hyperlink can link to a file on one of your drives (with the exception of your C: drive, which will not work in any circumstance) only if you are presenting the PowerPoint on campus. If you are off campus, you can use a path to any portable medium you have on hand (e.g. thumb drive, CD, etc.).

In PowerPoint, you can create an action button using shapes, images, and text within your presentation. When activated, an action button can link to either a specific slide within your presentation, a web page, or another PowerPoint presentation. In addition, PowerPoint offers action buttons that play sounds when activated.
To insert an action button into your presentation:

You can also create an action button that activates when you hover your mouse over the text or object (as opposed to clicking the action button). In the "Action Settings" dialog box, click the [Mouse Over] tab and choose where you would like the action button to link to.
