Keynote is a presentation software application developed as a part of the iWork productivity suite by Apple Inc. There are some occasions that you may want to embed a YouTube video into Keynote to make your presentation morre vivid and cogent. If we just created a hyperlink of the video to the Keynote, the speakers would have to quit from Keynote and use the web browser to play the relevant video, which would of cause interrupt the flow of the presentations and sadly for one speaker it was a total distraction as the Wi-Fi hotspot he was using couldn't actually stream fast enough for the video to play at all.

Is there a possible way to download and embed a YouTube video into the Keynote other than creating a hyperlink for it? The answer is Yes. See below how to embed YouTube to Keynote on Mac in order to share Youtube videos in Keynote presentation with audiences.

As you know, Keynote uses QuickTime to display content, so if you can open it in QuickTime Player and play it with no problems, you should be able to use it in Keynote (except, of course, protected videos from the iTunes). However, YouTube videos are often in FLV format, which is not in the Keynote supported format list. Thus for the purpose of figuring out the solution, we need to use a third-party software like EaseFab Video Converter for Mac to convert the YouTube videos to the format that we need for the Keynote presentation. Below is how to do it.
