Important information about Youtube<\/h4>\n

We have received a few emails over the past few days regarding embedding Youtube videos into Powerpoint presentations. There has been a few issues with the embed codes and Youtube videos are not playing-\u00a0despite appearing, usually\u00a0as a black box, within the Powerpoint slide.<\/p>\n

To clear this confusion up- the\u00a0codes for embedding Youtube videos into Powerpoint\u00a0are not\u00a0currently working. Therefore to add a video into a slide you must add the link (URL) and navigate to it that way.<\/p>\n

As soon as a fix is found or if Youtube is updated, we shall send out the information via a blog post or through our Twitter @eLearn_loucoll.<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

You may have noticed recently that embedding YouTube videos into has changed. If you have embedding videos before, the process is very similar but there are a few slight changes.<\/p>\n

To embed a video you need to:<\/p>\n

1. Find the video on YouTube.<\/p>\n

2. Scroll down and click ‘Share’.<\/p>\n

3. Click ‘Embed’.<\/p>\n

4. There will be 4 tick boxes, ensure the bottom one titled ‘Use old embed code’ is ticked.<\/p>\n

5.\u00a0Right click of the highlighted code and click ‘Copy’.<\/p>\n

6. Go to your PowerPoint presentation and click the ‘Insert’ tab.<\/p>\n

7. \u00a0On the right hand side click the downward arrow below video and select ‘Video from website’<\/p>\n

8. \u00a0Paste the code into the box provided<\/p>\n

Up to here is the usual way you would embed videos, but now is where the slight change comes in.<\/p>\n

9. Delete the section of the code that says ‘version 3’. An example is below (highlighted red):<\/p>\n

<object width=”420″ height=”315″><param name=”movie” value=”http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/E3h-T3KQNxU?hl=en_GB&amp;version=3<\/strong><\/span>“><\/param><param name=”allowFullScreen” value=”true”><\/param><param name=”allowscriptaccess” value=”always”><\/param><embed src=”http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/E3h-T3KQNxU?hl=en_GB&amp;version=3″ type=”application\/x-shockwave-flash” width=”420″ height=”315″ allowscriptaccess=”always” allowfullscreen=”true”><\/embed><\/object><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

If this is a bit confusing, or you prefer to talk to someone in person, either send us an email to learningtechnology@loucoll.ac.uk to arrange a meeting or pop into L101 any time.<\/p>\n
