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!

Alyson,
I feel your pain! I teach a kids class at my church and I rely on the videos in my presentation. Then at the beginning of August the adds started. It is such a break in the flow of a class. I have noticed that videos that I used in previous presentations, that didn't have ads don't have them if I copy and paste the video to the new one. That is only helpful if you know what videos are in what presentation. I will keep checking back to see if anything changes.
this is from 2021 very outdated not helpful
Sorry. I assumed we were discussing downloaded YouTube videos.
You are telling folks that have been doing this for years how to play a video, that's not the problem. All of a sudden folks that have YouTube Premium are getting ads in PowerPoint, even videos that have been inserted years ago. It just started a few weeks ago, and we have been playing videos for years. Frustrating when we cannot use the clicker the way we have been using it almost forever.
Hi,
I can insert a view and control the playback but using the Web Video Ad-In doesn't link to the playback function.
If you can make that work, I'd love to see how to do it.
Thanks,
Alyson
