I have Office 2013 (and 2007...skipped 2010), but maybe the issue is the same in 2010. Look in the Trust Center (in PowerPoint Options), then click the Trust Center Settings button, and see if you have an option that says something like "Allow Office to connect to the Internet" in Privacy Settings. Here's what it looks like in 2013:

Google has changed the underlying code for doing this with YouTube, even if you use the old embed code and tick all kinds of boxes, so I imagine you won't be able to get it to work. In fact, MSFT actually removed this feature altogether from PPT 2013 in a recent update. Looks like they removed it from 2010 also.

Suggest you use something like Shyam Pillai's LiveWeb or YTV add-in to do the needful.
