[Powerpoint 2013] Displaying URL of online video content?

Post by New Daddy »

The ability insert a Youtube video directly in the slide is a great improvement in Powerpoint 2013.

One thing missing is any queue on the URL address of the video, for the readers of the Powerpoint presentation later printed on paper or distributed in PDF format.

Is there a quick and easy way of catching two birds -- directly insert a Youtube video but also leave the URL trail somewhere beneath the video? (Of course, I could do all this manually, but I'm looking to automate things as much as possible.)

How much work is it to copy and paste the URL? :shrug:

In Powerpoint 2013, you can look up Youtube contents by searching with keyword. You have to go to the Youtube.com from there to find out the URL.

It's not just copy-and-paste. There is some web-surfing to do.

If you switch you Slideshow view and right-click the video, there is an option to get the video URL - you can then copy it, switch back to normal view, and paste it.
