YouTube Vidoes asking me to log in when playing in POWER POINT

Was there any solution to this? I am a teacher that shares lots of youtube video tutorials to students for when they are at home. The powerpoints don't work at all for students that don't have a google account. They can't even go to the website to watch them

Hi Tyler,

I'm not an expert - but I don't have issues with videos if I do two things:

1. Turn off my VPN - which I have to do anytime I restart my computer if I'm planning to show videos over Zoom.
2. Turn off any AI noise cancellation selections. I use my ACER laptop for most Zoom meetings and in the audio controls, I can select/deselect AI noise cancellation.

I wish someone from MicroSoft would actually respond to help all of us! Hope this helps!!

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!?

Not MS, but I've been watching this thread since the beginning. If' you review the earlier messages, you'll see that this is a situation that YouTube has imposed on PowerPoint, not something that Microsoft has changed.

It's Youtube's content; they make the ad revenue, not MS, and they make the rules as to how it can be used.

Because of a quirk in one of their rules, you may find that the same file works fine when viewed in the web version of PPT rather than the desktop version.

Same issue as others. Tried the embedding tip as well as making sure my VPN is turned off and still unable to play in PPT. Tried with multiple videos.
