When it comes to creating powerful and persuasive presentations, including video is a no-brainer and choosing the best video format for PowerPoint is essential. The wrong format can lead to compatibility issues, choppy playback, and low-quality visuals. Fortunately, the best video format for PowerPoint is relatively straightforward to choose. MP4 is the best option in…
Introduction The terms “PowerPoint” and “slide deck” are thrown around a lot in the business world. So much so that you might be wondering if they mean the same thing or if there is something inherently different between the two.

Earlier this year, I polled a group of five professional women about their use of PowerPoint. A scientist, a college professor, and a corporate trainer were just a few of their vastly different professions.
