The video explains: 1. Before delivering your speech with presentation aids, check the venue to become familiar with the location and ensure visual aids are displayed where listeners can see them. 2. Locate power sources, assess computer needs and compatibility, check for internet access, have a backup plan, and confirm audio setup. 3. Maintain a focus on speaking to your audience rather than the media, as presentation aids should play a supporting role in your speech. 4. Avoid copyright infringement by citing the source of all copyrighted material and consider creating your own visuals, videos, or audio when possible. 5. Do not pass visual aids among the audience once they are in their hands, and keep aids out of sight until you are ready to discuss them. Be prepared for potential issues or snags when using presentation aids.
