Insert Online Video is missing

I want to embed Sway/ Office Mix into class notebooks easily. There should be an Insert Online Video button on the ribbon (I'm using Onenote 2016) but it isnt there. How do I update?

    In case anyone has the same issue, I spoke to our Network Admin who manage our installation of Professional Plus 2016, who discovered that their updates didn't include the update that brings 'Insert Online Video' to OneNote, and there were no plans to do so.

    So the whole school has to uninstall the Professional Plus 2016, and download and install 365 ProPlus! Individual teachers will now have to update their own installations. 

    At least I now have Insert online video- which is the only way to embed forms, sways etc. in OneNote.

     

    I hope this helps anyone who's interested.

    Are you running Office 2016 Professional Plus or ProPlus? ProPlus is linked to Office 365 and comes with the update button.

      I'm running Professional plus- it seems bizarre that there's a difference- especially when one name is a shortened version of the other!

      Now I know why my version doesn't have an update button, what do I do about it?

  • Have you looked at: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/msoffice/forum/msoffice_onenote-mso_other/insert-video-icon-not-available-onenote-2016/3f9ea8d2-60c4-453c-9847-e56a9d4780b9
  • It is to do with the version of Office you run. I cannot remember which version is which, but different 'for Business' and 'for Education' versions have/don't have.
  • ok- I've found a solution on a help video- go to file>accounts and click on Office Updates, but the updates button isnt there. The updates option cant be turned on either, as the button isnt there to turn them on!

    Anyone got any ideas?
