Using Video as an Articulate “Background”

I love using a (carefully selected) image as a background in a training slide, whether that is produced using Articulate products or PowerPoint.  Recently, I had been wondering what it might look like to use a video as a background instead, and while working on travel plans for a training session, I was inspired to create this quick example.

I’m not sure I would use a “busy” or cluttered video, nor would I want video background on a lengthy slide.  I think both of those would create more distraction than depth, but with this simple topic and simple slide I believe the video looks great.
