How Can Multimedia Improve Presentation Engagement?

[Kurt000]

I've noticed that more presenters are exploring how to add media to Google Slides to create more engaging and interactive presentations. Videos, audio clips, animations, and GIFs can help capture attention and explain complex ideas, but opinions vary on how much multimedia should be used. Some believe it enhances audience engagement and retention, while others feel too many media elements can distract from the core message. I'm interested in hearing different perspectives on this topic. How do you use multimedia in presentations, and which types of media do you find most effective?
