6. Embedding YouTube Videos
 Choose a slide that is appropriate for your
presentation.
 Click on More Controls from Developer Tab
(hammer icon). Scroll down to "Shockwave Flash
Object."
 Draw a box the size you want. Right click on the box
and choose "Properties."
 In this Properties window, you’ll have to make a
few changes and additions to embed our YouTube
video. Although this is optional, it’s a good idea to
change the title of your object in the (Name) field.

7. Embedding YouTube Videos
 The most important addition to make is to add the
URL of the YouTube video to the Movie field. You
will have to make a couple of changes here to
ensure that your video plays correctly. For example
if the original URL of this video on YouTube is:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=27mxaePkYB4.
Before adding this URL to the Movie field, delete
the “watch?” text and replace the “=” that follows
the “v” with a “/” character. The resulting URL
would look like this:
http://www.youtube.com/v/27mxaePkYB4

8. Embedding YouTube Videos
 You may also choose to make other changes in the
Properties window, depending on how you want
your video to play. You can change the Loop field
to False if you only want the video to play through
once. In addition you can change the Playing field
to False if you’d rather manually start the video
than have it automatically begin to play when the
slide is shown.
 Once you’ve finished making your modifications
here, click on the “x” in the upper right-hand corner
of the window to close it. All of your changes will be
