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!

I trim the downloaded youtube clips in Powerpoint (you cant trim a youtube clip unless it’s been downloaded—there are several free ones, just google “YouTube to mp4 free”). It’s labor intensive but you never have to worry about google slapping an ad in front of it.
That's looking like the only answer to all this.
The funny thing is, I haven't had ads on YouTube for years since I installed Google AdBlock. I am not at all used to the gawdawful interruption of ads, so when they happen it's like a slap in the face.
Question: Do you do the trimming in YouTube? Or have you got a video editor?
Hi John,
So sorry to hear your experiencing the same issues. Our church cancelled the premium subscription to google and we are purchasing music from worshiphouse media a much more expensive option but until there is a resolution that's our solution for now.
Only solution I’ve found is to use Chrome browser (which knows you have a youtube premium subscription) and access powerpoint through office.com. But first you’ll need to upload the file to ONeDrive (just to make things more complicated!!). And as many previous posters have noted, your ability to control powerpoint is very limited, particularly in advancing to the next slide after an embedded video.
It’s all Google’s fault, so I’m afraid complaining to Microsoft will not solve the problem.
Yes me too exact same situation all political ads! For years I never had this issue with ads popping and I also have Youtube premium but it doesn't matter with the videos embedded on youtube.
