Definitely a big Yay! 
Adding video or multimedia to pitch decks can make them more engaging and memorable, helping to tell your story in a dynamic way.

Answer

Absolutely! Embedding video demos directly in pitch decks is super effective. It keeps the audience focused and engaged in your pitch without awkward screen swapping. Just make sure the video content is short, tight, and totally essential to the pitch. Folks get distracted fast if it drags on too long or goes off topic. But yeah, when done right, it can transform a solid deck into a mind-blowing one that sticks in people's minds!

Definitely a yay from me! Used sparingly and in the right places, video/multimedia can definitely take a pitch deck to the next level. Tools like mmhmm are great for seamlessly embedding live demos. The key is making sure they truly enhance the message and don't become gimmicky distractions. It's a fine line but when you nail it, it can be super impactful in my experience.

In my experience, when used right, video and multimedia can take a pitch from good to unforgettable. Some tools even let you embed live demos directly into your slides—so no need to switch between screens! But of course, it’s all about making sure it adds value and doesn't distract. What do you think?
