I never had the use for videos in my slides. We already talked about HTML5 youtube in #87. Their usage of the video tag is complicated for us to provide seemless integration. I don't know if we could/should try to improve that...

The main issue (about presentation clicker) is addressed in previous comments.

If you're interested in embbeding a YouTube video in your slides, take a look at #92.
