Tips and Tricks #21: Insert online videos on the go with Zoho Show for Android
Hi Everyone!
Visual learning is a trending technology to enhance audience experience in the presenting world. Presenters prefer videos to static images because they make presentations made more dynamic, engaging, and informative. In addition, they are easy to follow and share.
Incorporating suitable videos in slide decks can take your presentations to great heights. Videos capture the audience's interest and help them connect with your message.
For instance: A lot of statistical information can be conveyed using a video showing process and growth rates rather than a static visual.
Attach videos to your slides to create more compelling presentations. With videos, you can:
- Elicit emotional support for your position with stories or case studies
- Convey more information in less time than graphs and bullet points, so you can stay on schedule
- Make your slides more active and engaging, to keep your audience interested
- Convey details that aren't easily communicated in any other medium
- Liven up remote presentations, and connect with your audience across distances
Videos have the power to capture your audience's attention like nothing else. Audio-visuals are an effective way to make your stories impactful and memorable. As a form of data visualization, video offers a mostly non-verbal way to support your point.
For instance, how-to videos are self-explanatory and provide complete demos about products.
Refer to https://www.customshow.com/importance-video-presentations/ for further details.
Below are some tips to help you effectively deliver stories through videos:
- Start your presentations with videos to grab the audience's attention
- Give the audience enough time to understand the point of the video before moving on
- Do not combine too many concepts in one video
- Keep your videos short (30 to 60 seconds) and choose just one central topic for each
- Make sure it's clear how the videos are relevant to your presentation
- Use snippets to highlight key areas
- Provide a pleasant background to your videos rather than leaving it blank
- Make sure your videos are properly edited, cropped, formatted, and updated, so your presentation looks professional
- Explain the details in the video clearly, completely, and cleverly, minding all the key points
- Cross-check other presentations with videos to find out how effective theirs are
- End your videos with final key messages that relate to your slides
- Focus on the quality of videos than quantity of videos
- Add videos to the complicated sections where you feel the audience may get lost, to clarify and retain interest
