I have a PowerPoint 365 presentation running under Windows 10 in which Slide 2 contains a short video. This video is set to play automatically and this works fine when I manually move from Slide 1 to Slide 2, but not when I step back from Slide 3 to 2 or when I click on an action button later in the presentation that is programmed to hyperlink to Slide 2. In these two situations I am forced to click the mouse before the video will play.

Is there a way to avoid this problem?
