Missing insert video options in PowerPoint

Question

I need to embed YouTube videos in a PowerPoint presentation but I am unable to because the options are not available under Insert > Video > Online Video. On this menu I only have the option to insert video from my Sky Drive account, and NOT from YouTube, Bing, or embed code. This problem only affects PowerPoint. If I go to insert video in Word then I have all the options I need.

How do I get PowerPoint to give me the insert options I need?

Answer 1

This information was of no use whatsoever. The proposed solution refers to PowerPoint 2010 when my question (and the other user's question) refers to PowerPoint 2013 in 365 University, as indicated. There is no update for me to remove because it relates to a different version of the software.

It also doesn't address the problem as to why I have the option to insert video using embed code in Word but not in PowerPoint.

I want to be able to insert video using embed code in PowerPoint. How can I do this?
