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.

    This bug replicates across multiple machines on win10 and win11 and multiple, PC based, versions of powerpoint.

    The problem is that microsoft uses some random or guest account to play youtube vids not the premier user ID embedded in the share link.

    There is no filtering whatever. I have seen condom and Canesten adds in material intended for children.

    This is a safeguarding issue.

    Hi,

    So that means it's a new thing that Microsoft is doing?

    According to several posts here, including my own, this wasn't the case until very recently.

    Onward,

    A.
