OneNote for Windows 10 now lets you easily add content from YouTube, Vimeo and more

If you're a big OneNote fan, your notes are about to get much more media-rich. As part of its April update roundup for OneNote, Microsoft announced that OneNote for Windows users can now easily embed videos and clips from YouTube, Vine, Sway and more with just a link.

From Microsoft:

Insert and view content from YouTube, Vimeo, Vine, Sway and more, right alongside your notes. By simply pasting a video link into OneNote for Windows 10, Mac or iOS, a playable thumbnail version will appear next to it. Soon you'll also be able to embed with copy and paste for OneNote Online.

Additionally, Microsoft says it has cleaned up the sign-in process, allowing users with work or school Office 365 accounts to sign in.

If you use OneNote Online, Microsoft says that a new feature called Smart Lookup is coming soon. Powered by Bing, Smart Lookup uses selected text and the content surrounding it to quickly serve up information you may be interested in. Think of it as a quick way to gather more material about a topic you're writing about without switching to your browser.
