Im looking for a way to insert a youtube video or any local/remote video into the cells in Jupyter Notebook as part of a presentation (Slide mode). Is this possible?

This does not really work for me. I have a black video preview and that's it. Any insights regarding this?

This snippet is a bit outdated now. The IPython.display module now contains classes for embedding local and remote video content.
