My sentence:

-Students can give/make their presentation(s) in the form of a video, if they like/would like.

1. Can I GIVE/MAKE presentations? Apart from these two verbs, what verbs could I use for collocation?

2. How should we decide whether to use PRESENTATION in the singular or plural form? One instance known as a presentation, two instances known as two presentations, or do native speakers never use the word in the plural form?

3. Does 'in the form of a video' sound natural English?

4. Which one is correct? LIKE or WOULD LIKE?

Students can give their presentations in the form of a video, if they would like to.

1. You "give" presentations.

2. You decide by the amount of presentations. If all the students are giving one presentation, use the singular form. If each student is giving a presentation, use the plural forum.

3. "in the form of a video" is fine.

4. Both of your options are correct, but "would like to" is what sounds the most natural to me. That's only an opinion, all three options are ok.
