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!

Hi Jesse,
Thanks for the comment.
You might be right there. Now that YouTube is owned by Google. The problem is that the last time I tried Google slides the functionality was minimal in comparison to PowerPoint.
I'm doing as you are... downloading and loading PowerPoint slides with files from my hard drive.
It's taken a big chunk of time out of my prep for the fall semester and will undoubtedly max out my hard drive storage.
Onward,
Alyson
I am having exactly the same problem. It is absolutely unacceptable to be showing adverts in an educational context. Ultimately, the only solution is to directly download and embed the videos. Is this a google attempt to get people to shift to google slides? Incredibly irritating.
Thank you George.
I have done as you suggested.
Let's hope the problem can be addressed on Microsoft's end. This has been a serious disruption in my preparation of PowerPoint presentations for the fall semester at the music college where I teach.
Thank you,
Alyson
Hi all,
Recently, we’ve noticed that users have reported a similar situation in this community. The situation is mostly likely caused by the PowerPoint application itself.
We really feel sorry about it. I understand the inconvenience that happened to you and apologize for it.
First, please send feedback to Microsoft. To report the problem, click File> Feedback (or the Help tab> Feedback)> I Don't Like Something. Feedback submitted this way directly goes to the related Microsoft team; this is the best way to let Excel developers be aware of this situation, help do an investigation of the issue and fix it soon.
On the other hand, we have reported the situation on our side. If you are using a Work or school account (such as ******@schooldomain.com), I also recommend you report the situation to your tenant admin or IT team and ask them to raise a support ticket via Microsoft 365 Admin Center> Support> Help & support. That support team there will have the correct channel and resources to help you investigate more and contact the Development team to speed up the trouleshooting process.
Appreciate your patience and understanding and thank you for your time and cooperation.
Sincerely,
George | Microsoft Community Moderator
