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!

In an earlier post or a link in an earlier post, there was information from YouTube, where they stated that they will serve ads to any videos linked to a third-party application. That pretty well puts the fickle finger of blame on them. Why the ads don't show up in other situations (Google slides, etc) is unclear; perhaps because they don't see other web apps as third party applications. Seems to fit that pattern, though.
Yeah, I’m not a huge fan of Google slides functionality wise
I posted it under ‘PowerPoint’ on Microsoft’s feedback forum, where you list all the things for their developers.
I’ll try and find the direct link for it later today (I’m heading to work)
Unfortunately this is just a work around I’ve worked out for YouTube videos to play without ads, while we wait for Msoft to fix it, which could take months (if they even acknowledge it :( )
We work in education, so trying to keep teachers running as best we can is all we can do :(
Fingers crossed it gets resolved sooner rather than later!
Good luck for the semester
