Users of PowerPoint 2007 at my company want to insert a hyperlink to a video
file residing on the streaming media server (local network) into a
presentation and have the video kick off automatically when the slide
appears. Does anyone know how/if that can be done? Thanks in advance for
your advice.

Do you want to embed your video file to your powerpoint rather than
insert/link the video file on your powerpoint presentation?
By this means, you can do it like this way:

First of all, the embedded video must be in the correct format. Make
sure it is either in Windows media file (.wmv) or in .avi format. Save
the video on your desktop so that it's easy to embed.
• Step 2
Open your PowerPoint presentation. Embed your video by using the
"Insert," "Movies and Sounds," and "Movie from File" commands.
Navigate to the video file you saved on your desktop and click "OK."
• Step 3
When your presentation is finished, save it as a packaged presentation
by using the "File," "Save As," PowerPoint Show. This will make it
transportable from one computer to the next. Otherwise, the video will
only save as a link. If you click on the link to the video on another
computer--even if it looks like a square box where the video should
be--it will not have point to anywhere as the video was not originally
saved on that computer.
• Step 4
After having saved, re-open your prepackaged file on another computer
to make sure the save worked and the video was transferred.
