audiovisuals
Sound-and-image materials
Audiovisuals are materials that use both sound and images to convey information—films, videos, slideshows with narration, educational recordings.
The term appears most often in institutional contexts: The teacher wheeled in the audiovisuals cart.
Now somewhat dated, as digital technology has made such equipment ubiquitous rather than special.
