I may misunderstand 'Voice Leading,' but I thought BIAB could? Isn't that the purpose of slash chords, e.g., C/E or first inversion; C/G or second inversion; and, C7/B or third inversion?
Slash chords are not always pure inversions since they can introduce notes outside of the chord tones. Or stated otherwise, Slash chords are no different than inversions, except... that slash chords can also feature non diatonic relationships, meaning relationships not from the key. Furthermore, slash chord change the bass note, which as pointed out in the video you don't want to do. Thats how I learned it. But perhaps I have been a little overly critical on poor BIAB.
Thanks. I understand your point and appreciate it. I guess I was thinking of the task of ascending and descending diatonic and chromatic basslines, which certainly does not maintain a pedal bass. Of course non-diatonic notes from secondary dominants and other secondarys, e.g., V/IV, V/vi, etc., are very useful in basslines and modal excursions and quite common in pop music.
Thanks. " ... not always the case" meaning that if the arrangement has no bass player the note might not be played at all?
Just the opposite. As in real life, if there’s no bass then the keyboard or guitar (in that order) should cover the note—but not both.
In pickup gigs playing from charts, I tell inexperienced players, “When I’m here, that note doesn’t exist for you.” Experienced players know to stay out of the way of the bass.

Just to clarify further, are you saying in BIAB ... not real gigging ... if no bass, only one of the other instruments in the 'band' will play the slash note?
The note after the slash is for the bass player. In BIAB, it’s often assumed the keyboard will use that as a root but that isn’t always the case.
One issue with Slash notes that is a real weakness in BiaB is that you cannot choose a slash note that is the same as the chord. You can choose C/G, C/F but not C/C, which means you cannot change the bass note played. You cannot force it to play the root.
I put it in the wishlist a long time ago. It mustn't be important.
