Part 1. What is a Video Presentation

A presentation is a method of communication that can be adapted to various speaking situations, like talking to a group, addressing a meeting, or briefing a team. The speaker delivers information to the audience with graphics, texts, audio, and other visual elements in a presentation.

Unlike the traditional presentation, a video presentation saves a presentation as a video file. So that the speaker can open it anywhere with a video player software or publish it online directly.
