Is there a good way to use videos in impress

I insert a video. It seems to work. I cannot configure it to play when I click, but ok. I just want to have the video. After I edit the document a bit, and try to play the video. It doesn’t work anymore.

Is there a good way to make sure the videos play and continue to be playable. Maybe a good format, are there different ways to insert the video some of which work better?

Thank you

Please tell OS and LibreOffice version.

In general it is difficult to give reliable advice for included video files in Impress. There are often problems.
What I do instead: Create a hyperlink to the video and let the standard player of my machine play it.

Probably this answer is not satisfactory for you. If you are accustomed to Powerpoint this could be a step back. I am aware that the latest versions of LibreOffice have improved playing videos, so try out the current latest version (7.5.4.2).
