Why was "all" placed there?

teacher

Native speaker’s answer

Rebecca

When speaking, "all" is commonly placed after "you" to address more than one person. Ellen is speaking to her audience, which is a large group of people. Thus, she has added "all" to indicate that "you" is plural. Ex: Thank you all for attending this event tonight. (Plural "you") Ex: Thank you for your present. (Singular "you")
