Emphasize concepts effectively on a slide using audio and video clips in Zoho Show


Hi All! 



Delivering a presentation on a complex subject while keeping the audience interested can be challenging. Here's where media files are handy. You can add them to slides to help break up monotony in the slide deck. This also gives your voice a break since the clients will be engaged in listening to or watching the clips for a while. 
 
Show lets you upload media files from your system's local storage into a presentation. You can also drag-and-drop clips under Media in the top bar to add them to your slides instantly.   
 
Note: Show supports most of the widely used formats including mp4, mov, m4v, and avi for video and mp3, wav, and m4a for audio.
 
Let's say you want to run your presentation at a trade show. You can add a pre-recorded audio snippet of your product promotion on a slide. The pauses and tone modulation can help you engage the crowd while you are conversing with other potential customers. 



You can also include music related to your brand in the slide deck to connect emotionally with the audience and familiarize them with it.
 
Likewise, you can use videos in your slide deck when you want to convey information in an authentic and illustrative manner. This can help the viewers grasp its essence quickly and retain it for a longer time. For example, you can insert an animated explainer video when you want to jazz up the presentation and educate the audience in an engaging manner.  Using such videos you can also make the clients realize the efforts gone into its making, paving the way for them to build credibility in your brand. 


    
Show also offers formatting options including Autoplay , Loop , Change , and Arrange to help you position and play the media files on a slide.    
   
We hope you find this update useful!

                                                            "What is the best way to share a presentation?", a lingering question that is asked after every live session or a meeting. Sharing presentations can be time consuming. It can be done, either by attaching the file to an email or by saving it in a pen drive. But what happens when your file size is large or your team is spread across the globe? Zoho Show lets you share your presentations both internally and externally without worrying about the file size. You can share your slides as a link and decide

                                                            Visual presentations are highly impactful and it is a no-brainer that your audience gets attracted to them. The use of images and videos help you reach your objectives by emphasizing your ideas more effectively.  According to the psychologist Jerome Bruner of New York University, "people only remember 10% of what they hear and 20% of what they read, but about 80% of what they see and do." For example, if the above data on its own, was presented visually, there is an 80% chance that the information

                                                                                                            These tools are extremely helpful for: Filtering and extracting data using simple SQL-like queries Combining or transforming data from multiple sheets or tables Creating dynamic reports without using complex formulas Having a Query-like function in Zoho

                                                                                                            Hey everyone, is it possible to adjust the default search criteria for finding and merging duplicate records? Right now, CRM uses some (in my opinion nonsensical) fields as search criteria for duplicate records which do nothing except dilute the results.
