Placing Videos Into Google Docs Presentations

Last month, we posted about our efforts to make YouTube as open as possible and shared a few examples of partners who were integrating YouTube content into their applications. Today, we'd like to point out another example.



Google Docs is a free, web-based word processor, spreadsheet, and presentation application that allows you to share and collaborate with others in real-time. The Docs team just announced on their blog that you can now search for and insert YouTube videos into your presentation slides. This means that you'll be able to insert your favorite videos in your presentations and play them to your audience when you're giving your presentations.



To see this new feature in action, check out this published presentation.

If I visit the presentation in Firefox 2 on my MacBook Pro (Tiger), I don't see the video. I see the still when its paused, but when I click play the still disappears and I only see the time-bar. This doesn't change if I restart the browser or the page...

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE

Please change the Search Bar back so that when you type a couple of letters all possible hits appear along with their video count.

you guys should have a comments section on the website for us to send suggestions re: the site.... i really miss the upload progress bar... at least gave us a general idea of how much time is left for our videos to upload. instead we just sit here forever waiting....

I just had an idea that would improve the site (great as it is), add a script link which is a totally random selection from all youtube uploads. You'll never know what you'll get, but you may be suprised with the results. Just a clickable link that would pick a random video from the thousands available. Something for people who don't know what they want to see. Just an idea. Ponder it. Thanks.

Nice, top stuff.

This is good, but is it integrated with MS powerpoint? If so...then the feature will be a coup for my presentations! Please advise.
