Kudos to Ali Thornton. Ali helped me with an embedding issue in a PowerPoint where we were trying to show a video. She worked tirelessly to find a solution to get the video to play straight from the PowerPoint slide. She enlisted her coworkers to test the various solutions she found from searching online forums. She showed me how to embed videos in the future and some reasons why this particular video was giving us so much trouble. Her directions were clear and easy to understand, and now we have a PowerPoint that plays multiple videos seamlessly. I also have the skills to do this in the future. Than you, Ali, for taking so much time out of your day, over multiple days, to help me solve this problem!
