Hello Majeed_s,

Thanks for your message.
Sorry that our product currently does not support directly adding a youtube url video. But our product can add the .mp4 format url video to PPT file, as shown in the following code. You can test on your side.

Code: Select all

string blobFileUrl = "https://www.e-iceblue.cn/upload/Video.mp4";
WebClient webClient = new WebClient();
byte[] bytes = webClient.DownloadData(blobFileUrl);
MemoryStream stream = new MemoryStream(bytes);
Presentation ppt = new Presentation();
ppt.LoadFromFile("test.pptx", FileFormat.Pptx2013);
ISlide slide = ppt.Slides[0];
ppt.Slides[0].Shapes.AppendVideoMedia(stream, new RectangleF(505, 253, 240, 140));
ppt.SaveToFile("result.pptx", FileFormat.Pptx2013);

Thanks for the feedback.

What's the difference between using a youtube URL and your mp4 url? Is it because the youtube URL you cannot download the video or its not in mp4? Just want to understand what the difference is.

Hello Majeed_s,

Thanks for your message.
For YouTube online video, we need to parse the website address, to get the video path and content information. Sorry currently the internal mechanism of our product doesn't support this parsing. Thanks for your understanding.
