If
I send my presentations to others to view, do they need to have
PowerPlugs: FlashReady installed on their PCs to see the embedded
Flash movies?
No. The only thing they would need on their computer
is the Adobe Shockwave Player in order to see the Flash movies.
According to Adobe, 99% of the existing PCs have this already.
But if your audience members don’t, have it on their PCs,
they can download it here: http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/

Every

reload. And if I’m not connected to the Internet, I can’t
display the YouTube video at all.
It
is true that you have to be connected to the Internet to view
any online Flash video, even if it is inserted into PowerPoint.
We don’t have a solution for that yet. But we can help
you with the reloading issue. To avoid that reloading delay
during a presentation, just do the following:
1.
Before you present your presentation, select “View Show”
or “View Show with Effects”.
2.
Go to the slide with a YouTube video embedded.
3.
Hit “Play” to let the video load.
4.
Once the video has loaded completely, hit “Play” again
to pause the video.
5.
Then drag the timeline slider back to the beginning of the video.
(You must drag the slider back to the beginning; otherwise the
video will freeze when you return to the YouTube slide.)
6.
Then return to the title slide for your presentation and then
proceed normally from there.
