Embedded Video Won't Play in Word
Greetings! I am using Word for Microsoft 365 on an updated version of Windows 10. I can embed a video from YouTube; however, I can't play it once embedded. When I click on it to play it or right-clic...
No, I haven't been able to solve this problem. I have sent feedback to Microsoft and encourage everyone else to do the same because it's frustrating to have a feature that just doesn't work at all. ☹
I ran a test with PowerPoint.
The embedded video runs fine there.
It looks more like a combination of WORD 365 and WIN10.
Does anyone have additional test suggestions?
Same here, no problem using powerpoint or word on office 365 web.
I notice that the input box that appears when hitting insert/online videos (in my word-on-pc) has a different outlook.
- In my case it was the PC version for both PPT and WORD.
- When editing a word doc on the office web version there is no problem inserting a video. All works fine. When i save the doc and open it in the 'word-on-pc' the problem reappears. The previously perfect working word doc behaves exactly as before and shows a white screen in stead of playing the video.
- My guess is that it works fine with the web edition because you can also play the video from a web-page. Basically you are using the same web-engine in the background I suppose.
