Aesthetic Slide Ideas with Video Galleries

Advanced

Guacamole

Show videos glide across the slide.

Some visuals are meant to be the center of attention, and others are meant to be fleeting. Video galleries let you escape the confines of the slide while letting the attention fall on other elements. With CustomShow, you can combine video playback options and builds to create beautifully modern video galleries on your slides.

Design Tips & Tricks 🔥

Choose a background that contrasts well with the videos, making them stand out.
Stagger the entry of videos with appropriate delay times. Adjust the duration to match the length of your talking points, ensuring that the videos support rather than overshadow your narrative.
Make sure all your videos are web-optimized since multiple videos will be playing at the same time.
