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.

    I know this is an old question, but did you ever get a straight answer for it?  I'm dyin' over here.  The video from website option doesn't come up for me.  It has nothing to do with the version I'm using or the flash player or anything.  I was just using this 3 days ago without a problem and suddenlt it has stopped working.....

    Help!  L.J.
