Using videos is an effective way to enhance a presentation. However, it’s essential to use video content that aligns with your purpose. For instance, using a tutorial video can transform monotonous simple content into engaging and interactive content.

Always make sure that the videos are of good quality, compressed, and compatible with your presentation device.
