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!

Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
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.
Hi there
Just to endorse, this sudden change happened in Australia about two weeks ago - except the Youtube ads seem to be focussed on selling hamburgers (Hungry Jacks - like McDonalds), not politics! Luckily I am not giving presentations to vegetarians.

We are seeing the same thing here in Australia. Previously able to embed youtube videos into Powerpoint on windows desktop without ads playing, now it doesnt work.
If you play the video directly from youtube, no ads, embed the video using a hyperkink into powerpoint and ads play.
We have tried 2 different accts, a personal youtube premium acct and an education login using approved videos.
Frustrating when trying to produce a professional document for presentation.
Please fix this issue.
I have reported this on Microsoft feedback portal, so please vote for it, so it will get looked at sooner
thanks

Hi Jodie
I see that, on what's seems to be a separate thread, you posted "I don't think it is Youtube. I think it is Microsoft Powerpoint." That's an important point. What makes you think that? Is that why you reported it to Microsoft?
