We use power point and video via a laptop/overhead combo. Even simple drawings can add tons to a presentation and demonstration. As for tricks to make it successful: ensure it is set up, verified to be working and ready to go BEFORE the meeting starts. You will lose an audience quickly with technical difficulties.
