It is a personal decision. Some teams prefer to show the video and then add to it, others prefer to do entire presentations with similar info but separate from the video.

I personally always encourage the teams I work with to do a presentation instead of showing the video because I think it is really awkward to just stand there holding a screen for judges to watch. I feel like the information has more impact coming directly from the student presenters.

But, again, I state, it is a personal decision. There is no 'right' or 'wrong' way, both ways are accepted and within the rules. I am sure teams have done well with both.
