I inserted a YouTube video in my PowerPoint 2016 presentation and the slide with the video will not play in Presenter Mode. It will play in non-presenter mode and in "duplicate slide show" setting but i am doing a presentation and would like to not disturb the flow. What can i do? Any solution??

Can you click on Play?
Thank you Charles,
I did just that, and all animation options are greyed out when i import from online :(
I tried it before I posted because lately I have just been using videos from the pc because I've had bad experiences with Internet connections when making presentations. So, before I told you to do it, I tried and made sure it would work, when in presenter view. It does.
I just did it before I posted.
Go to your slide.
Insert Tab
Insert Video
Online
Paste in the url from YouTube
A video screen shows on the slide.
Size it.
Apply animation.
Thank you Charles, this only works for videos from the PC (which works fine in presenter mode) however, it doesn't with any online videos like YouTube. When i click animations and select the video I cannot select any animation. Still struggling with this...
