Problems With Videos on Portion of Screen

I have a problem with videos that are embedded in PowerPoint slides.  I set up the session with Screen Share/Advanced/Portion of Screen, and it all works fine until I show a video.  After the video is finished, Zoom drops “Portion of Screen” and on each of the next two slides I need to “Hide Presenter View” and then “Show Presenter View” to get back to Portion of Screen, which, of course, disrupts the presentation.  Is there a solution to this?

Hey @oaknum1 testing this and trying to envision how you're sharing slides, is this how you've set up your portion of screen and slides?
