When there are kitties in the videos, then definitely Yay.

Morgane Granier · Answer

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?

@morgane_glt but it shouldn’t bother you? we all have flaws 😌

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!
