I can't reply to the sibling comment (davidw's) about video (level cap?), but I vehemently agree. I can read much faster than most people speak, (and can't "skim" a spoken monologue), so I almost always prefer text to video.
I'm feeling increasingly like an old gaffer complaining about these "young 'uns" and their "yoo tubes" (at a middling 30-something), but I see this trend toward video when text would suffice as evidence of a societal lack of good (writing) education.
Sure, in the OP's instance, it's a presentation he made to someone else, so a video is probably easiest, but this was a good opportunity to rant.
EDIT: And now the reply link appears. Weird.
- dllthomas 14y agoMy understanding is there's a relative level cap for the "reply" link, but no absolute level cap. So if you want to reply to something that lacks the reply link, click its "link" link to view it directly, and you can reply.

- gizzlon 14y ago.. but I see this trend toward video when text would suffice as evidence of a societal lack of good (writing) education Think it's because there's so much written information now, I can't even read 1% of the stuff I want to. After reading "all day", good videos, e.g. talks, are refreshing.
