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!

A family of Microsoft presentation graphics products that offer tools for creating presentations and adding graphic effects like multimedia objects and special effects with text.

Hi,
Do I need to do anything else or has this issue automatically been handed over to the backend crew?
Also... I'm fairly convinced from my conversation with someone at YouTube that these ads in PowerPoint are intentional. I believe in the past few months they've changed their policy for third party applications.
I would love to hear that Microsoft and YouTube could come to an agreement on this because nothing ruins a PowerPoint more than advertising for random companies.
Thank you for your time on this.

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
I considered the download idea and I’ve done that for a few videos I wanted to edit, but I’m running out of space on my hard drive.
The premium download function doesn’t send to your computer as far as I understand it. For that you use a YouTube converter.
Someone else in this thread has mentioned the same problem with YouTube and confirmed that this is a recent development.
Onward,
A
I also have experienced this issue on my school windows laptop. However, as of now, it does seem to work as before on my Macbook Powerpoint app. If you have access to a mac, you might could try and see if it fixes the issue for you. However, they could patch that at any time I suppose.
Hi,
Unfortunately I don’t have access to a Mac.
Will consider talking to my school tech team to see if I can get one.
Meanwhile, I have to revamp my presentations.
Thanks for your input.
