- Check the boxes next to "I have read and agree with" at the bottom of the page before clicking on Create Video option. You can edit this information later by going into YouTube settings > Channel Settings > Advanced Features tab. This will create an account after doing so. Your PowerPoint file name is automatically filled out as PowerPoint Presentation Title (example).

The upload time may take up to 24 hours; if not available, you can try again within 48 hours or contact their customer service to upload video format, embed a youtube video, online video, video file, or even Windows media video for Microsoft PowerPoint presentation with audio clips, web video format and video presentation from the insert tab and options.

Once you've uploaded your PowerPoint file, you can access it by going to YouTube and clicking on Video Manager > Uploaded. You'll see the PowerPoint video is automatically in this folder.

- If you want to edit a PowerPoint Presentation before uploading it:

* Open PowerPoint presentation with your desired content. * Select all contents of PowerPoint presentation (Ctrl + A) * Copy (Ctrl+C). Close the PowerPoint document so that changes are saved. * Create a new blank PowerPoint document - "PowerPoint Blank," for example, name; create content as needed from scratch or start over again using the past version until the current date if preferred. Paste contents copied earlier inside the newly created blank presentation. (ctrl-V) From there, you can save these changes and upload PowerPoint as usual.

* Go to YouTube and Upload; the PowerPoint Presentation option is available if PowerPoint has been copied into a blank presentation with the original content inside of it.

When uploading PowerPoint presentations on YouTube, ensure you have not inserted any other videos or audio in your PowerPoint slide show. These will be included automatically when uploaded onto YouTube Video Manager > Uploaded folder for video uploads. You can view them by going to the Videos section under My Channel. If there are two different versions of the same "PowerPoint Blank" file, then only one version will be used, and whichever was last updated will be selected - so keep this in mind before saving essential changes!
