What if I add a video into PowerPoint from YouTube , with my voice over it , will YouTube strike me a copyright

Thanks for the idea.

Hii Kevin.
Can u plz tell me how can I set the end point for this video copied from the YouTube? As I want to take only a section of video from YouTube?

If we voice over on this type of video in power point
Will it have copyright issue

Wow! So clear and easy to follow!

Hi Kevin, could you tell us how to set an end time to the video so that it doesn't just run until the end and you can have it stop at a precise moment? There are quite a few tutorials for this on YouTube, but unfortunately none of them work. I'm using the latest version of PoxerPoint in Windows 11.
