Hi,
I've been working with hundreds of presentations using YouTube videos and had no trouble with ads till now (8/5/24).
I have a Premium YouTube account and have spoken with tech support at YouTube and Microsoft. The problem remains unresolved.
Help!

I am having the same issue with Advertisements showing in PowerPoint and I have a paid subscription to Youtube premium.
It is so frustrating and I know it started exactly two weeks ago as I prepare our churches PowerPoint presentation and play music videos. It was so embarrassing to have a political advertisement on screen during church service.
I am so disappointed with Microsoft I am thinking of moving over to Mac for my home and church computers.
I am new to this platform is someone from Microsoft actually looking into the issue or has the decision been final. PowerPoint is basically useless for presentations if it is going to show ads.
Yeah, I am calling BS on this YouTube. They told me the same thing, that it is working as intended and that ads were never promised not to show in PowerPoint, but I have been doing it for years, YEARS, I SAY!!! and I have NEVER, not once, had an ad show up in PowerPoint. And I don't mean I used it casually; I mean numerous PP presentations a week with multiple videos embedded; not a single time did I have an ad play. Now, I have ads that play nearly every single video. Someone, either at Microsoft or YouTube, changed something that caused this. You will not change my mind on that.
Thanks Robert - I had the same response about 10 minutes ago from "Nas".
When asked to refer to the clause in the Terms and Conditions that referred to this limitation things didn't go too well.
On a positive note, was advised that this isn't an issue if you play powerpoint in Google Slides and are subscribed into Premium . I just tested this and it worked. It means though that I either have to import my slides into Google Slides and then re-embed the videos (they don't drag the links over when you import) or build the powerpoint in Google Slides.
James,
Thank you for sharing!
It's good to know I'm not alone in this battle.
Like you, I've been sharing music videos with my students in my PowerPoint presentations at Berklee College of Music for the past two years and never had an issue with ads until now.
I hope this can be resolved.
Meanwhile, I have to totally revamp my lesson plans. Grrrrr....
Best,
Alyson
Thank you Steve.
I took a look at that link. I'm actually not seeing ads in YouTube premium, only in PowerPoint. I checked my Chrome settings and third party cookies are allowed so I think that covers that.
Onward,
A.
