Question

on Windows 7 PowerPoint 2013

I would like to insert Online Videos

Steps

In PowerPoint, When I click Insert tab, click Video, Online Video is greyed out /disabled.

I think this might be locked down by group policy

Do registry keys exist to enable this feature?

TIA

Hi,

There are some requirements to use the Online Video feature:

To insert or embed a link to a YouTube video, you must install these updates and use these versions:

• For all versions except Click-to-Run: KB2837627 and KB2817636.
• For Click-to-Run installations, version 15.0.4605.1000 or later.

And have one of these browsers installed on your computer:

• Internet Explorer 11 (Recommended. See Internet Explorer downloads)
• Internet Explorer 9 (See MS12-037)

See the following article for more details:

Make sure you have met all the requirements and test it again.

Hope this helps.

Regards,
Steve Fan
