How come the video in my power point presentation won't play automatically?

I have 3 videos added to my powerpoint presentation. I click on the developer's tab, then go to properties.. I go down to the automatic play and hit save. Then when I go to view the slideshow, the videos change themselves back to NOT playing automatically. This slideshow is timed so I'm trying to make it play to be consistent with my timings, but its not working. Please HELP..

    Select the video inserted into the slide and you will be able to see an additional tab “Video Tools” available at the end, This tab is visible only when you select the video. In "Video Tools" , select the Playback tab and look for video playback. Under video options group, click the drop down menu and select Automatically .

  • What version of PowerPoint are you using? Unless it's freakin' old, don't use the developer tool to insert video. Just go to Insert --> Video and go from there. Then follow David's instructions.
