I have been inseritng you tube vidoes into my powerpoints for training presentations. No issues in the past, but today it is asking me to "LOGIN" to ensure not a bot.
I have logged into youtube with a premium accoutn when I copied and pasted the link. Is there something else I am missing?
Any help will be greatly appreciated....

Same problem here on 1 July 2025. Turning off VPN solved if for me. I can play the Youtube videos in Powerpoint now. No need to reboot.
I found that turning off VPN helped to resolve this problem.
I don’t know what you mean by viewing in the web version vs desktop version of PowerPoint. Would you elaborate for a non-savvy tech person?
These are two different programs.
The Office Online (web) version is played in a web browser and does not have the same resources as the full desktop application PowerPoint.
Some Microsoft 365 subscriptions do not have the desktop applications.
All Microsoft Office purchases (perpetual license with a year in the name) have the desktop applications.

Turning off Norton’s VPN has worked for me (Windows) - however I now get the full ‘advertising experience’ with each video…. It now seems that MS doesn’t want to fix this as it might interfere with their advertising revenue… Happy to be proven wrong MS!?
