SlideShare now embeds YouTube videos

Posted by Jacque on January 21st, 2009

SlideShare has responded to users requests to include embedded videos with their PowerPoint presentations.  Instead of having to link to a YouTube video, you can now embed it into your Flash-based presentation, creating a more cohesive feeling, reports TechCrunch.

SlideShare has allowed users to embed audio with their slideshows since 2007.  The more fully featured app will now let you include video introductions, product demonstrations, or any other video content that will enhance the overall presentation.  See how it works here.

Here’s SlideShare’s list of some of the other things you can do:

  • slideshare2.pngEmbed slideshows into your own blog or website
  • Share slideshows publicly or privately. There are several ways to share privately.
  • Sync audio to your slides
  • Market your own event on slideshare
  • Join groups to connect with SlideShare members who share your interests
  • Download the original file
