Linked YouTube video will not autoplay

[Ashley]

Using PowerPoint 2007: I've successfully linked the YouTube video I want into
my presentation using the Shockwave Flash Object but it won't autoplay when
that slide is shown. I made sure that Play = True on the Properties screen
but when I start the show it won't autoplay. When I go back to Properties
Play is now False. We use this presentation to loop in our lobby so I need it
to play without hitting the play button.

Also, I need to make sure the flash video starts over on the next loop of
the presentation.

Thanks! -Ashley

You might want to consider using PFCPro for this.

Completely automates the process.

Ashley, I wonder if you might have better luck using TubeSock to convert the
YouTube video to a friendlier format, like WMV. I find that they are easier
to deal with as WMVs than as Flash objects. Only $15 too...

Hi Ashley

I would download the video first as a wmv using the totally free
www.vixy.net service. Or download as an flv using the firefox media
converter add-in then convert (using SUPER).

Link to YouTube you need a live internet connection, it is sometime
unconvenient.

You can download and then convert the YouTube video (FLV file) to
other video format and insert it into PowerPoint.

Some free ways for you to do this:

Download the YouTube video onto your computer first with free online
service,
then insert it to your PowerPoint.
Here is a tutorial:
