A lot of people like to spruce up their presentations by adding animations. And if you look through the powerpoint menus, you've got tons of choices. You can have things fly in, fly out, materialize in, blink in, wipe in... you get the idea. They're fun, they're exciting... and they absolutely suck in an online presentation.
The issue is with screen refreshes. Some participants in your online presentation won't see a fluid animation. Instead of a smooth fly-in, They'll see a jerky motion where your text lurches across the screen. Instead of a neat Star Trek type beam-in animation, they'll see squares and lines.
If you're giving an online demo you have two choices for animations: Appear and disappear. They aren't flashy, they aren't sexy, but they work best in an online environment. I suggest you stick with these even in an "in person" presentation, too. They aren't as distracting as the other animations, and the less distracting your slides are, the more focused your audience stays on you.
