Re: [libreoffice-users] videos in impress

Menu Insert > Audio or Video

Choose the video from the selection window, deselect "Insert as Link"

The video will be placed in the middle of the slide, as a normal object 
(which can be aligned or arranged)

Using the handles, reside the video to the expected size

Menu Insert > Text Box

Click to position the text box over the video, and then create the 
animation to manage the text box (please be careful, the mouse click can 
advance to the next slide because of the video, so you may have to use 
timings to show/hide text boxes)

Anyway, this is explained in the LibreOffice Impress Manual, with lot of 
details
