How to Put YouTube Songs on Microsoft PowerPoints
Even an interesting Microsoft PowerPoint presentation might seem dull if there's nothing to break up slide after slide of text and graphics. One way of jazzing up a PowerPoint presentation and grabbing the attention of your audience is to include a video or movie clip. To add a video of a song from the YouTube online video-sharing website, copy the video clip's embed code and insert it into PowerPoint using the program's "Media" feature.
