multimedia presentations

Audio-visual display files

Multimedia presentations combine multiple forms of media—text, images, audio, video, and animation—to convey information to an audience.

The term typically refers to slideshows or digital presentations created with software like PowerPoint or Keynote: The sales team prepared a multimedia presentation for the client meeting.

In educational and business contexts, multimedia presentations have largely replaced traditional lectures and pitches that relied on spoken words alone.
