What are some tips for effectively using video backgrounds in presentations?

1. Choose Relevant Videos: The video background should be relevant to the topic of your presentation. It should enhance the message, not distract from it.

2. Keep it Simple: Avoid videos with too much movement or complexity. They can be distracting and make text hard to read.

3. Use High-Quality Videos: Low-quality videos can make your presentation look unprofessional. Ensure the video is of high resolution.

4. Use Muted Colors: Bright colors can make it hard for the audience to focus on the content. Use videos with muted colors.

5. Test Before Presenting: Always test the video on the presentation screen before the actual presentation. This will help you ensure that it looks good and runs smoothly.

And continues: "Doing this helps everybody get on the same page. It also keeps you from focusing on the design of the deck before you have the actual story you are trying to tell thought out, which is a lot like trying to decorate a cake before you've baked it. Building the content can take a long time, so storyboarding the slides upfront and getting buy off really helps."
