Requirements for online video sites (Youtube, etc.) are as follows:

Flash Player 10+

Windows Media Player 10 or higher 

32-bit Office 2010

Does your system meet all of those requirements?

    have you tried this:

    After removing KB2553145 from the updates installed on 9/11/2013 we can again see "video from web site" as an option.
