Insert YouTube video into a Microsoft Word document

If you want to make a Word document more informative, it is good to add a YouTube video to the document.

The YouTube video can then be played directly from the Word document, without having to click on a link to open YouTube.

Adding a YouTube video to a Word document requires some extra steps than just copying a link to a YouTube video. This is how it works.

Insert YouTube video into a Microsoft Word document

To get started, open a web browser on your computer. Then go to youtube.com and open the video you want to add to the Word document.

Then click the “Share” button below the YouTube video.

You now need to copy the video URL. If you want the video to start at a specific time, enable the “Start at” option and then click the “Copy” button.

You have now copied a link to the YouTube video. You need this link to add the video to the Word document.

Now open Microsoft Word on your computer and open a document or new document. Then click on “Insert” in the menu.

To add a YouTube video to this document, click on “Online Videos”.

Paste the previously copied YouTube video URL into the URL embed code field. Then click “Insert”.

The YouTube video is now added to the Word document. You can then adjust the size and add a style.

Clicking the play icon opens a pop-up window in the Word document where the YouTube video can be played without leaving the Word document.
