Embed a video in PowerPoint with a start and end time.

Hi MS Geek12426,

Thanks for using Microsoft products and posting in the community, I'm glad to offer help.

According to your description, I tested on my side and got the same result: I cannot control the end time for the embedded YouTube video.

However, I noticed that when we get the embed code from YouTube, there is no option to control the end time.

Thus, I wonder if the control of the start time and end time of the video is determined by YouTube API rather than PowerPoint.

To further narrow down the cause, since you said that " it worked in previous versions of PPT", could you please test it using that version to check the outcome?

Looking forward to your feedback.

Best Regards,

Arck

Hi Arck,

I do not have an older version of PPT to test the code. I relied on the comments from people on the pages I obtain the codes from. The codes does work for sharing a link for a snippet of a video, just not for embedding a video (with an end point) in PPT.

Hi MS Geek12426,

Sorry for the late response due to out of the office.

If the same code can work correctly on other platforms except the current version of PowerPoint, there may be some compatibility issues between PowerPoint and YouTube API.

In this case, would you mind sending feedback within PowerPoint to report the problem to the relevant team? It would be helpful to help Office improve the products, your understanding and contribution will be highly appreciated: How do I give feedback on Microsoft Office? - Office Support
