I'm pretty positive it's Amphidinium just not sure how to know if large or small cell. I used the identification guide by @taricha but there is no mention of the magnification used on the images so hard to figure out which one it is from that information and the treatment for these two similar dinos is very different depending on which one it is.

The first image is at about 1000x, but not a good 1000x, it's really only magnified to like 650x then enlarged beyond that with no further detail. It's a cheap microscope with a 25x eyepiece paired with a 40/0.65 lens. The second image is at I believe 400x. The quality of the images is a bit meh as I was using my phone to capture them through the eyepiece.

Video recorded with phone as well sorry it's so unsteady. I put some audio on there to cover up all the swearing lol.

 
Thank you both for your response. I appreciate it. Also @taricha some advice to improve your identification document is to add the magnification used for the videos and images if you know it.
