**Choosing the Right Video**
|
|
|
----------------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
Don’t just randomly select a video and stick it on a slide. Select a video that is:
|
|
|
|
|
|
-* Professional
|
|
|
-* Relevant to the content of your presentation and adds value
|
|
|
-* Not too long (should be between 30 and 60 seconds)

|
|

+* Not too long (should be between 30 and 60 seconds)
|
|
|
|
|
|
Don’t overdo it. If you have too many videos or other multimedia effects, it will distract from your message and lose the attention-grabbing impact.
