Event video
The following scenarios can help you decide the option you must choose:
Scenario: On-demand demonstration
You have to play a video (probably on user interaction) in a slide, for example an on-demand demonstration.
In this case, you can use the event video option.
Scenario: Talking Heads
A presenter describes the contents on the slide. In such talking heads scenarios, multi-slide synchronized video is the effective option.
