PowerPoint Training Video, Audio and Cameos
Did you know that video vastly outperforms other mediums in engagement metrics like retention and sharing.
For example, viewers retain 95% of a message from video compared to 10% from text, and videos are shared 12 times more often than text and images combined
Which is one of the reasons why our PowerPoint Course content leans towards multi-media presenting by using video, audio and dynamic data linking in charts to other Microsoft software such as Excel.
Use the power of multi-media and include Video, Audio, Effects & PIP in your presentations
During the training you’ll learn how to insert and edit video and audio into your workflow to create modern professional presentations.
We look at the Record ribbon for screen, voice overs and audio recording and also look at the powerful feature PIP (picture in picture). PIP otherwise known as a cameo video works with your webcam to insert a direct live video feed into your presentaion.
