How to embed video in powerpoint 2010 getting error?

Powerpoint 2010.  Using this embed code.
<iframe src="//www.teachertube.com/embed/video/45749" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Under insert video from website get this error.  Verify embed code is correct.  Tried using http://www and this will not work either.

If you click on Insert followed by Video / Video from website and then click the Help and examples link in the window that opens, you will see this content that specifies that YouTube is the only video sharing site that is supported: (I suspect Microsoft couldn't name the button "YouTube" due to copyright issues at that time)

If you can, it would be better to obtain an offline version of the video and embed it directly within your presentation since using this feature is fraught with technical compatibility and security challenges (it also did not work in 2013 when I checked and that specifically offers YouTube, Embed code and Facebook options).

If that's not possible, you could add a hyperlink to the web page itself from your PowerPoint slide, although that's not as clean a solution.

The old embed code is not available under the share item unless I am missing something.

I tried this using the url they do have in the embed code and also using just the URL and neither work.  See below.

Jamie I tried the answer you gave with a youtube video using both the old and new embed code and it will not take that either using the process you sent me to.

Here is the link for the you tube video I tried.

This video shows a workaround that did work wiht the youtube videos.  This one is similiar to Miguels solution.  I have a couple of question then will close this.  

If it works on my PC after setting this up will it work on another PC that I have no control over.  How can I verify the flash shockwave player is on that PC?
