Video won't play in PowerPoint (Dropbox)
I inserted a video in may presentation (ppsx file) and it plays automatically when slide is opened. However, when the presentation is opened via a link to Dropbox, the presentation opens fine but the video won't play, even if i try to click on it. I think I read somewhere that this problem was fixed with PowerPoint 2010...? If I have to, I'll upgrade. Thanks. I have PowerPoint 2008 for Mac.

In 2008 the video will be LINKED. Is the linked file available in the correct location?

Yes, i even tried same folder and as 'save as' package and didn't work. I also noticed that my 'transitions' didn't work either. I just purchased the 2016 Office version and I'll see what happens. Thanks.

Now problem is worse with new 2016 version. Because of the video, the powerpoint file won't even sync to Dropbox? I also tried to upload with the video file as a package or in same folder in case it needs to link. Anyway, I'm giving up. Thanks everyone.
