| Oct 11, 2016 at 9:03 | comment | added | ff524 | @Fatalize indeed; however, a video is not interactive as a live demo can be (e.g. in a live demo, an audience member can ask questions about some part and you can then show that part in greater detail than you had originally planned). It's a tradeoff. | |
| Oct 11, 2016 at 9:00 | comment | added | Fatalize | I have indeed seen people present videos of a demo, but never a demo live. This way there is no risk that the demo does not work, and you can fully prepare what needs to be shown in the video, which is not as easily done live especially when you have multiple different things to show. | |
