It depends whether you will present your PowerPoint presentation with Internet connected or not. Different situations require different approaches.
So, this tutorial was divided into two parts.
Step 1: Click the Office icon in the top left corner and then click PowerPoint Options. Enable the Developer menu tab by checking the box next to Show Developer tab in the Ribbon on the Popular tab and click OK.
Step2: Click on the Developer tab on the menu ribbon and click the More Controls button.
Step3: Choose Shockwave Flash Object from the list of controls and click OK.
Step4: Use mouse to draw a box on the slide where you want to add the YouTube video. Right-click the box and choose Properties.
Step5: On the YouTube page with the video you want to add to your slideshow, copy the URL (located in the box, not the address line) from the sharing area.
Step6: Paste the YouTube URL in the box labeled Movie on the Property Pages box in PowerPoint. You'll need to make a few changes to your URL to make it work.EG:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hChq5drjQl4
Step7: Replace the phrase watch?v= to v/, and now the address become
http://www.youtube.com/v/hChq5drjQl4.
Step8: Close the Properties tab when everything is done. Preview (Run) your slideshow to verify these steps worked and you should see the YouTube video appear in the slide you pasted it on. The video will not appear in PowerPoint edit mode. Done!
Accordingly, if you have PowerPoint 2003 and earlier versions, go to View -> Toolbars -> select "Control Toolbox".
Step1: Download the YouTube Wizard from http://skp.mvps.org/youtube.htm. You should pay attention to that you need to download different zipped package for PowerPoint 2003 or PowerPoint 2007.
Step2: Extract the contents of the zip to a folder. Then follow the Installation Instructions on http://skp.mvps.org/youtube.htm to add the add-in to your PowerPoint.
I have PowerPoint 2007. After doing this, I can get a new choice named "Youtube video" when selecting the Insert tab on the menu ribbon.
Step3: Find the URL (located in the box, not the address line) for the video you chose from the sharing area. Then follow the wizard of the new add-in to insert Youtube video to your presentation.
You are also allowed to resize as well as reposition the player anywhere on the slide.
What can we do if we do not have internet access when presenting?
You may take this solution.
Minor premises:
->> Have no internet access when presenting.
->> PowerPoint supports adding many different types of movies, including AVI, MPEG, and WMV.
->> YouTube videos are Flash movie (FLV) or MP4 formats by default.
->> PowerPoint doesn’t understand flash FLV files.
Therefore, you need to
Step1: Download and save Youtube video as WMV or AVI format to your local drive and then use online conversion service or some video converter to do this.
You may download a free Youtube downloader to download your favorite video movies, which is also FLV converter that allows you to convert your FLV video to other formats.

Step3: Choose the movie you saved and click OK. Then you will be prompted to choose how you want the movie to start in the slide show, Automatically or When clicked. Automatically is recommended. Completely done!
