Insert Online Video - Word
You can insert an online video, such as a YouTube video, into your document. The video will play directly from the document, rather than opening in a web browser. This process works in Word 2016 & 2013.

Step 2:Search for a video with Bing or paste a video embed code. This example uses YouTube. Click the YouTube icon at the bottom of the Insert Video window to display the YouTube field option.
Step 3:
Type the search terms in the field next to YouTube. Press the [Enter] key or click the Search button.
Step 4:
Hover over the video thumbnails to view the title and length. To preview a video, click the magnifying glass icon in the lower right corner of a thumbnail.
Click the X in the upper right corner of the preview to close it.
Step 5:
Select a video thumbnail, then click the Insert button to insert the video into your document.
Step 6:The video will appear in your document where your cursor is located. Click the Play button on the video to open the video player.

Step 7:
Select the Play button in the video player to play the video.
Step 8:
To exit the video player, click outside of the video or press the [Esc] key.
