YouTube video will not embed into Powerpoint 2013

I've tried to embed a Youtube video into a slide in PPT 2013 many times unsuccessfully.  I am receiving the error message that I need to download latest version of flash.  I tried to modify the embed code (as suggested from an extensive Google search) from the YouTube clip by removing the 'version=' and 'amp' but that is not working. 

Has anyone been able to successfully embed a code to play a YouTube video?  If so, could you help me understand?


OS: Windows 7, 64-bit
Microsoft Office Professional 2013
