I am trying to embed a video from youtube directly into my powerpoint presentation. Under the insert tab and video pull down list, I have the option of "video from file" and "video from clipart", but the option of "video from website" is there in the pull down menu but I can't "click" it. The option is "greyed out" please help ty.

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?

I don't know how much clearer I can make it -- this feature is NOT available in 64-bit Office. (How do I put this in 60-point type, because everyone seems to choose to ignore that part of the requirements.)
This is because the Flash Player is 32-bit. If you read all the way through the thread, you'll see that someone's posted about a beta 64-bit Adobe Flash Player. Maybe try that and then see if the feature is enabled.

Not all youtube videos can be downloaded. Isn't that correct?
I have all of these things that Echo suggests but my option is also greyout for inserting video from web site. It is driving me crazy. I have Office 2010, the latest windows media player and I downloaded the latest Adobe Flash although I cannot find where it is installed. It said it was installed although it only took a few seconds and I can't find the program to run it. I also have 64-bit. I need to get this video insert option going asap. Thanks for any help.
I doubt that's it. Wish I could help you with the trial version issue, at least, but I'm not up-to-speed on that, sorry.
