Presenter 11.1 imported video auto play?

I was having the same problem as discussed here https://community.adobe.com/t5/connect/presenter-11-1-imported-video-plays-in-preview-but-not-in-publishing/m-p/11713076?page=1

I can no longer publish my presenations which contain videos that I inserted using Presenter.  I also found the 'work around' after hours and hours of troubleshooting on my own and with Adobe support- BUT there's one problem I've found.  When created this way the vidoes don't start automatically as the user clicks through the presenation.  There's no clear signal that there is a video on the slide and they need to hit play.  My concern is people are in a hurry, they'll just click past it without realizing there was a video.  This will make my presenations pretty useless for training as the meat of the content is contained in video.

Short of having to put a slide before each video that says 'the next slide contains video, please hit play to watch it" I'm looking for any way to autoplay videos that are inserted using Powerpoint Insert Media rather than Presenter Import video??? 

They've got to get this working, it's ridiculous that I can no longer publish a file with video imported via Presenter.

thanks!
