If knowing how to record a PowerPoint presentation wasn’t necessary a decade ago, this isn’t how things stand today. The pandemic taught us a valuable lesson – if we don’t catch up with technology, we will fall short.

Fortunately, Microsoft’s app is the global leader in presentation software and provides you with all the required tools to create an excellent presentation you can show in front of your audience. But how to record a presentation on PowerPoint, and is it easy to do so?

Article overview: 1. What are the benefits of recording PowerPoint presentations? 2. How to record a PowerPoint presentation? 3. How to live stream a PowerPoint presentation? 4. Frequently asked questions

1. What are the benefits of recording PowerPoint presentations?

I am are pretty sure that if recording presentations weren’t helpful, PowerPoint wouldn’t offer it to its users. Well, we all know that’s not the case. Recording your PowerPoint slides can bring a ton of benefits. Let’s see which they are:

• Save time  – regardless if you’re a lecturer or present in front of colleagues, having a video of your recording will save you many hours. Imagine speaking in front of your marketing team, but 2 members are on summer holidays. It’s fine. They’ll catch up later when they watch your PowerPoint recording.
• Focus on the presentation  – usually, if you’re presenting in front of an audience, it’s typical to get asked many questions that you need to answer promptly. But that is a good reason to get distracted from your core information. Thus, it makes sense to record your presentation beforehand.
• Practice before presenting – the best way to carry out a great presentation is to spend some time at home, focusing on key details. When you record your PowerPoint slides, you can find areas of improvement and work on them.

2. How to record a PowerPoint presentation?

There are many tools that you can use to record a PowerPoint presentation. From Loom and Panopto, and even Apple’s basic Quicktime and Windows’ own recording tool. But here we will discuss none of the other options. Why? The answer is simple: PowerPoint has its own in-built, robust recording tool.

Unlike other options, PowerPoint’s recording feature enables you to record slide by slide. This effectively means you can create as many recordings as you like, until you like the playback version, and move on to the next slide.

Pro tip : PowerPoint doesn’t record slide transitions. You need to start recording each slide when it is opened and finish the recording before you move on to the next one.

Let’s see how to record a PowerPoint presentation with video and audio in just a few steps.

Step #1: Open your PowerPoint presentation

The first step is to open the PowerPoint presentation you wish to record. Ensure you have all the necessary slides and information on them. While this seems logical, there aren’t one or two cases when presenters have recorded wrong or unfinished slides, which leads to a disappointing outcome.

Step #2: Prepare your video and audio devices

Before you start the recording, you should check your camera and microphone. Try to make a sound check and see if your camera works properly.

Step #3: Select the slides you wish to record

PowerPoint gives you the option to record a presentation right from the beginning, or from a specifically selected slide.

• Pick “ From Beginning ” (1) from the Record tab of the Ribbon if you wish to start from the first slide.
• Pick “ From Current Slide ” (2) from the same tab in case you would like to start from a selected slide (which isn’t the first one).
• Click the Record button (3) which is positioned in the top right corner, between the Comments  and Share buttons. It starts the recording from the slide you have currently selected.

Step #4: Start the recording

Once you click on one of the options, you are ready to start narrating your PowerPoint presentation. You will see a countdown timer, after which you can start narrating slides.

Step #5: Manage your PowerPoint recording

You have probably seen a couple of other options aside from the recording one. Let’s see which they are:

• Timer with a grey/red light – if you are recording your narration, you will see a timer and a small circle with a red light that indicates you are recording. If you pause, the small circle indicator will become grey again and the timer will stop counting.
• Refresh icon – right next to the timer there is a refresh-like icon but it serves a different purpose – to re-take the recording. You have the option to record again the current slide or all slides.
• Start/Stop button  – the big red button serves as a start/stop button for your recordings. Only stop the recording when you want to move on to the next slide.
• Pause button – if you would like to stop the slide recording, in order to drink some water or read your speaker notes, you can use the Pause button, and then resume the recording. Bear in mind you cannot pause and move to the next slide. You have to stop the recording, to indicate you have finished with the current slide.
• Camera button  – clicking the camera button will work as a toggle on/off.
• Microphone Button – clicking the microphone button will work as a toggle on/off.
• Ellipsis – this is the place where you can select camera and microphone settings, as well as erase recordings from the current slide or all slides.

Step #6: Export your PowerPoint video recording

The last button from the menu is the Export setting. You can export your narration as an mp4 file in Full HD size by default. However, you can customize your export and get your narration in 4 sizes – 480p, 720p (HD), 1080p (Full HD – standard), and 4K. We don’t recommend Ultra HD exports.

Pro Tip : Exporting 4K PowerPoint presentation recordings doesn’t necessarily mean you will get better quality (unless you have 4K resources within your presentation) but it does guarantee a significantly larger file size – up to 4 times more than on standard Full HD recordings.

3. How to live stream a PowerPoint presentation?

If you have already honed your skills and would like to stream your PowerPoint slides directly to your audience, there are many ways to do so. We are going to cover two of them.

3.1. How to stream a PowerPoint presentation from OneDrive?

Microsoft has invested a lot of resources to make OneDrive a powerful cloud service, and so far they have been quite successful. Let’s see how to record a PowerPoint presentation in front of live audiences.

Step 1 – save your PowerPoint presentation in OneDrive.

Step 2 – open your PowerPoint slides from PowerPoint online.

Step 3 – go to Present Live  from the Slideshow Ribbon tab.

Step 4 – share a  live link with your audience.

3.2. Stream your PowerPoint presentation in Zoom

Zoom is one of the most popular conference call apps which has plenty of tools, including live streaming presentations. Since PowerPoint is the leading presentation program in the world, Zoom developers have created some amazing things, like PowerPoint presentation recording with a web camera on a transparent background. If you’re interested, you can check our guide on how to record a Zoom presentation .

Does PowerPoint have a screen recording?

PowerPoint has a screen recording window and you can select the area you would like to be recorded. Go to Record  (from the Ribbon), then select Screen Recording , choose the area and start recording.

Can I view speaker notes while recording narration?

You are able to access your speaker notes if you have created them beforehand. To insert speaker notes, you have to go to View -> Notes Page  and you will have a text box that you can utilize for speaker notes.

What format does PowerPoint use for video?

PowerPoint records videos in mp4 format. The default resolution is 1080p (Full HD).

Recording your PowerPoint presentations can make the difference between a successful and smooth speech and a bad narration. Being able to record each slide means you can get the best narration possible for your whole presentation.

And if you would like to stream your presentation live, there are more than enough options to do so – both via the online version of PowerPoint or via third-party apps like Zoom.

Mac Users: Use QuickTime Player to Narrate a PowerPoint, save as a Movie

Mac users–did you know you can use QuickTime Player to record everything on your screen, with your voice narrating?

It’s a great way to record yourself presenting a PowerPoint as you narrate, doodle or ink, and use the laser pointer. (Windows Users can use the built-in way of recording a PowerPoint > exporting as a movie  . Mac users can also use this method but the video does not capture their inking and laser pointers).

Below is a video (8 minutes) to show you how to use QuickTime Player to record your PowerPoint presentation. This method will capture everything on your screen including inking and laser pointers if you use them during your presentation.  NOTE: depending on your Mac’s operating system, you may have additional options available . 

Do a short demo first. Try this method on a very short PowerPoint to test the whole process, then view your saved video. Make sure your voice audio is clear, confirm that your inking and laser pointer (if you use them) and everything appears as you expected. Then record your full presentation.

You can save your video using QuickTime Player’s File > Save option. Here is more information if you want to try the Export options in QuickTime

You can edit your video file with a video editing software.

You can upload your video to Google Drive, YouTube, Dropbox etc. to share it. (If you upload to YouTube, YouTube auto captions it to make it more accessible. If you’d like to make any edits to the captions, here’s how you can go in and edit your YouTube video’s captions).

Record Powerpoint w/ Quicktime Player on Mac

•  In Quicktime Player, click File>New Screen Recording.
• Click the down-arrow to the right of the record button, and choose the microphone you’re using to record.
• Open your Powerpoint presentation on fullscreen/slide show mode.
• In Powerpoint, deliver your presentation as normal, flipping slides as necessary.
• When finished delivering, switch back to Quicktime Player to stop the recording.
• In Quicktime Player, click Edit > Trim to cut off the very beginning and end few seconds of your video where you were setting up or mousing up to stop the recording.
• In Quicktime, click File > Export To to create a video (mov or m4v) to share on YouTube, load onto your tablet, or wherever you want.

Here’s an extra step for you overachievers out there: download and install a free program called MPEG Streamclip . Open your mov or m4v file in MPEG Streamclip, and export it as an mp4. This will shave a little off the file size, and convert your video into a file type that’s even more universally excepted everywhere (mp4).

How to Record a Presentation in PowerPoint

Recording PowerPoint presentations can have several benefits. They can serve as recordings of a session that can be uploaded online, shared with participants who might not be able to attend a presentation session, or used as tutorials for passing on instructions.

How to Record a PowerPoint Presentation

PowerPoint provides multiple options for initiating recording for a presentation. You can also choose to record audio and yourself presenting the slides using your camera. When recording your presentations, you can choose PowerPoint templates or something minimalist made by you to record the session. Just be mindful of the graphics to ensure the video does not appear overpowering to the viewer.

How do I Record a PowerPoint Presentation as a Video?

You can start recording your presentation using the following method.

• Record Tab: To record a PowerPoint presentation, go to the Record tab and select whether you wish to record from the beginning, from the current slide, a specific area on the screen, or record audio.
• Slide Show Tab: you can also initiate recording a PPT via Slide Show -> Record to initiate recording from the current slide or the beginning of your presentation.

Record Button: If you’re using the latest version of PowerPoint, you can start Recording your presentation from the current slide via the Record button in the top right corner.

Record from the Current Slide or Beginning of the Presentation

Starting your recording from the beginning of the current slide will open your presentation in recording mode. Hit Record to start the recording.

Screen Recording in PowerPoint

If you initiate screen recording in PowerPoint, you can start recording a screencast by selecting the area you wish to record. This is similar to recording a PowerPoint presentation as a video, with the added advantage of recording other parts of your desktop. This method can also be used for recording a screencast, even if you’re not using a PowerPoint presentation in your video recording.

To start the recording, click Record or use the Windows+SHIFT+R hotkey. To stop the screen recording, click Pause to temporarily halt the recording to resume later or Stop or the Windows+SHIFT+Q hotkey to end the recording session.

The recorded video will be instantly added to your slide once you click Stop .

Record Audio

Another option in the Record tab in PowerPoint is to record audio narrations for your PowerPoint presentation. Simply click Record to start, Pause to temporarily halt, and Stop to stop the recording process.

Once the recording stops, the audio will be added to your PowerPoint presentation.

How can I Annotate Slides in PowerPoint During a Recording?

Once you enter recording mode, you can start annotating your slides using the Pen or Highlighter tool. Other tools in the menu include a Laser pointer and Eraser.

How can I Record a PowerPoint Presentation with Audio?

To enable audio for your Powerpoint recording, unmute the mic from the audio icon on top, CTRL+M hotkey, or click the three dots ( More options for recording menu), followed by the Microphone to select the audio device for recording. You can only record audio if an audio device is connected to your computer. This is a fairly simple process, unlike other presentation platforms. For example, in an earlier article, we showed you how to do a voiceover on Google Slides , which entails a slightly more elaborate process.

How to Record Yourself Presenting a PowerPoint?

Enable the camera during a recording session.

Like turning on audio, you can toggle the camera on or off using the icon on top. The camera input device can also be selected via the Camera option or CTRL+K hotkey, which can be revealed via the three dots from the top menu.

Insert Video Recording in a Slide using Cameo

PowerPoint’s Cameo feature enables recording a video to insert in a slide. You can use the feature to quickly insert a video message in your slides that can be played during a presentation session. This option might also be relevant if you intend to convert PowerPoint to video . If you are looking how to video record yourself presenting a PowerPoint, then follow the steps below.

Once Cameo is turned on, you can also choose to stylize the camera shape, style, border, and add effects. Cameo is quite a unique feature in PowerPoint that currently does not have alternatives in rival presentation apps. For example, you cannot use a similar feature if you wish to convert Google Slides to video .

How to Save Recording for a PowerPoint Presentation?

After you have completed your recording, click Export to save the presentation recording.

You can customize your recording settings via Customize Export or continue the process via Export Video .

Using the Customize Export option, you can choose between a desired output quality for your video, including Ultra HD (4K), Full HD (1080p), HD (720p), and Standard (480p).

Other options in the menu include the ability to choose and preview timings and narrations.

After you are satisfied with your recording settings, you can export your presentation to video.

The video recording of your PowerPoint presentation can be played using any standard video player. The video can also be embedded in PowerPoint slides, uploaded online, such as to a YouTube channel, or shared via cloud storage apps like Dropbox, Box, OneDrive, etc.

Final Words

Recording a PowerPoint presentation can provide a record of a session that might be required for further sharing. The best way to record a presentation is to ensure that your slides aren’t visually overpowering, your audio is clear and audible, and if using a camera, the cam input isn’t hazy, grainy, or too dark.

Once you are familiar with how to record a presentation on PowerPoint, it might take a bit of practice to make your video recording look professional and crisp. It’s best to practice your sessions before recording them until you can seamlessly record presentation decks.

Adding Apple iPhone Videos to Microsoft PowerPoint Presentations

May 23, 2022

Introduction

By default, iPhones (iOS) use a High Efficiency Video Format ( HEFV ), using the MOV file extension to record video. It can produce smaller file sizes with good quality, but compatibility is a problem if you’re not on a Mac.

The  ideal  solution is to change the video recording format on the iPhone to MP4. This ensures that whoever watches the video or views the video in a PowerPoint presentation will not run into any issues.

Set iPhone to Record Video in Most Compatible Format

• Tap  Settings
• Scroll down and tap  Camera
• Tap  Formats
• Tap  Most Compatible  if it’s not already selected
• Exit Settings

Record Your Video

• Open the iPhone  Camera  app
• Record your video

Upload Video to OneDrive

• Open the iPhone  OneDrive  app
• Click the folder you want to upload the video to and click the  +  button
• Tap  Photos and Videos

You may need to give the OneDrive app access to All Photos. If you are not prompted for access, skip ahead to the Select Video section

• Tap  Manage Settings
• Tap  Photos
• Change this setting to  All Photos  and go back to OneDrive

Select Video

• Tap  Videos
• Tap the video you want to upload, and tap  Done
• OneDrive will show that it is uploading and will eventually show complete

Attach Video to PowerPoint Presentation

• Open the PowerPoint presentation you want to add the video to
• Under the  Insert  tab, choose  Video , then  This Device
• Click on the OneDrive
• Locate and click on the video you just uploaded, then click Insert
• Save the presentation

Existing Video

For video that’s already been recorded in  HEVF  and can’t be re-shot, there are two options.

• Purchase the High Efficiency Video Codec ( HEVC ) from Microsoft for $0.99. The problem with this option is every user not on a Mac wanting to watch the video in the PowerPoint presentation will also need to purchase the codec. To purchase, go to  https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/hevc-video-extensions/9nmzlz57r3t7  and follow the prompts (opens the Microsoft store).
• Go to  https://www.videolan.org/
• Download and install VLC Media Player
• Open VLC Media Player
• Click the  Media   drop-down menu and choose  Convert / Save…
• Click  Add  under the File tab and open the video to convert
• Click the  Convert / Save  button
• Change the  Profile  drop-down menu to, “ Video for MPEG4 1080p TV/device ”
• Click  Browse , select a destination, and give the new file a name
• Click  Start
• VLC Media Player will act like it’s playing a video, but nothing will show. When it’s done, close VLC Media Player

If you’ve converted the video to a new format, delete the old video from the PowerPoint presentation and insert the new one.

Note: If you’re not using PowerPoint and just want to play an unconverted video, just install VLC Media Player and use it to play videos

Troubleshooting

If you don’t already have the HEVC installed, the easiest way to check if a video uses HEVF is to open it in Windows Media Player. If the video was recorded using HEVF you will receive the following message:

PowerPoint QuickTime Error

When adding video to PowerPoint, if you receive a message stating, “ PowerPoint cannot insert a video from the selected file. Verify that the path and the file format are correct and also try installing the latest version of the Apple QuickTime player, restart PowerPoint and then try again ” that indicates that the video was recorded using HEVF (not Most Compatible).

Check if the Official Microsoft HEVC Video Extensions Utility is Already Installed on Your Computer

• Click the Start/Windows button
• Click Settings (gear)
• Search the list for HEVC Video Extensions
• If not found, it’s not installed

Manually Check Which Codecs Are Installed

If you want to view the information on what codecs are installed on your computer, use the following steps:

• Click the Start/Windows button , Windows Accessories , then Windows Media Player
• If this is the first-time running Windows Media Player, check the Recommended setting radio button and click Finish
• Click the drop-down menu Organize , then Layout , then Show menu bar
• Click Technical Support Information
• Scroll down to the Video Codecs section

How to record your face when presenting a PowerPoint

Do you want to make a video recording of yourself while presenting a PowerPoint to check your performance? This article will guide you step-by-step in specific.

• Microsoft PowerPoint offers built-in slide recording to capture the webcam when presenting, but it will cut the recording into pieces and input them into each slide.
• Users can also record the screen by another inbuilt feature in PowerPoint which allows you to capture all activities performed on the screen, but you can't open the ppt in full-screen.
• QuickTime Player is a dependable recorder for Mac users to capture the ppt with your face, but similar to the screen recorder of PowerPoint, you have to build a space for the webcam.
• AppGeeker Screen Recorder offers a simple and pleasant user experience to record the whole ppt presentation with a webcam.

Recording the ppt presentation with a webcam is hard since the webcam window will be hidden.

The next time you present a PowerPoint and are fearful that you will forget key information, don't worry. You can quickly record yourself to ensure that you do not forget any important points or facts. The trouble is how to record yourself when presenting a PowerPoint.

There are many ways to record themselves to ensure one doesn't forget their presentation content. This short and simple manual will show you how to accomplish exactly that. Now, let's delve into this article and find a perfect method to record yourself when presenting a PowerPoint.

Can I Video Record Myself When Presenting PowerPoint?

Record yourself when presenting a powerpoint within the software, how to record the powerpoint presentation process with webcam, can i record the presentation process with my face using xbox game bar on windows pc.

Yes, you can. What we call a "PowerPoint presentation" is a sequence of slides you can use to present and discuss various topics. When using a Windows computer, PowerPoint from Microsoft offers a wide range of choices for personalizing presentations. PowerPoint allows you to add visual elements such as pictures, tables, charts, movies, and links to your presentation to make it stand out from the crowd.

Even if you're not the most tech-savvy person, you'll be able to make a polished presentation with the help of the program's user-friendly features and pre-made templates. To give your audience the best possible experience watching your presentation, use PowerPoint to display all relevant visuals in full view (instead of behind slides). You'll need to know how to record your presentation with your face once you've mastered PowerPoint's fundamentals and made your slides.

The purpose of a PowerPoint presentation is to supplement your spoken presentation, not replace it entirely. You can record a PPT on Windows and Mac both. Within the confines of the Microsoft PowerPoint software, you can record video, audio, or simply your slide presentation.

Let's start with the Windows version of it:

Step 1: Once PowerPoint is open, go to Recording in the menu bar at the very top. A drop-down menu including Record Slide Show and Screen Recording will appear.

Step 2: Click Record Slide Show to capture your slideshow with music or moving pictures. During the recording process, you can adjust the microphone and webcam in the top-right corner.

Step 3: Once you finish the recording and exit the slide show, the recording process of your face will be cut into pieces and automatically input in the bottom-right corner of your screen.

Step 4: If you choose Screen Recording , not only will your slideshow be recorded, but so will your face and other activities on the screen with the sound from the microphone. The downside is that if you maximize the windows of the PPT, the webcam window will be hidden behind the PPT. To record the presentation and your face at the same time, you have to build the space for the webcam window in the recording area.

Step 5: After you hit the Screen Recording button, you'll be able to set the precise region of your display that you want to record.

Step 6: In the recording toolbar, the Audio button should be grayed out before you start recording. Enable it to record your sound when recording.

Step 7: Press the record button, and your computer's mic and surroundings will start collecting the presentation with your face.

The two PowerPoint-inbuilt recording features have their pros and cons. You can choose the feature that fits your situation more.

Record the PPT presentation with a face on Mac

On a Mac, you also can record yourself when presenting a PowerPoint. This section will teach you how to use a webcam when recording PowerPoint presentations on Mac computers without the necessity to download or install any additional software on your Mac. The built-in program QuickTime Player allows you to record your presentation as well as your face.

The steps that need to be taken to record your presentation using a Mac are as follows:

Step 1: Launch the QuickTime program by navigating to the Launchpad .

Step 2: Open the webcam app you like to use and set it Float on Top from the menu at the very top so that your camera application is shown on top of all the other apps. Then adjust the size of the camera window. You can move the camera to whatever position you choose on the screen.

Step 3: Open the PowerPoint presentation.

Step 4: Open the File menu on the top-left screen and go to the New Movie Recording option to open the screenshot toolbar. If you use the Mojave and later macOS versions, you can open the screenshot toolbar by using the combination Command + Shift + 5 .

Step 5: Click the Option to choose the audio source as the microphone.

Step 6: Then hit the Record button. Right now, both the screen and the presentation from your camera are being recorded.

Step 7: When you are ready to stop recording, simultaneously hit the Command + Control + Esc buttons on your keyboard.

QuickTime Player can only record the audio from the microphone. It is convenient for a PPT presenter to capture his voice, while if there's a video or a piece of audio needs to play during the presentation, the internal sound from the computer can't be captured. If you want to record the internal audio simultaneously, you need to resort to a reliable third-party tool.

On both Windows and Mac, AppGeeker Screen Recorder is one of the most dependable applications that you can use to record your face with presentations on your computer. It is one of a kind since it was developed to function with various recording formats, including the capability to record 4K video and high-quality audio.

It includes both the sound from the outside and the sound from the device. Using AppGeeker Screen Recorder, you are available to record your face at the same time without the necessity to pin the webcam window or build the space for the window. This all-in-one program will astound you with its plethora of functions, which can take the place of all other screen recording applications that you can have used in the past. To record the PowerPoint presentation process with your face, download AppGeeker Screen Recorder first, then launch the Screen Recorder application located on your computer.

for Windows | for macOS

Step 1: Choose the Video Reorder option to record your PPTs screen.

Step 2: You can record your full desktop or screen by selecting the Full option or clicking on the Custom option and dragging to pick a specific screen section to record.

Toggle on the button of the webcam to ensure that you can record yourself when presenting a PowerPoint.

Record sounds from your computer and microphone by turning on System Sound and activating the Microphone .

Step 3: To begin recording, you can press the REC button once ready.

Step 4: Once you have finished recording all the activity on the screen, click the button labeled Stop Recording located on the toolbar's left, then preview the recording and check your performance.

Step 5: Hit the Done button to export the screen recording on your computer.

The Xbox Game Bar's primary purpose is to capture gameplay footage; however, it can be used for any video recording. However, switching to recording another window after Game Bar has begun recording is impossible. This is because Game Bar can only capture one program screen at a time, often the last session you clicked into.

Turn your presentation into a video

When you make a recording of a presentation, all its elements (narration, animation, pointer movements, timings, and so on) are saved in the presentation itself. In essence, the presentation becomes a video that your audience can watch in PowerPoint.

So you have two options for turning your presentation into a video that's ready to view:

Save/export your presentation to a video file format (.mp4 or .wmv).

Save your presentation as a PowerPoint Show (.ppsx) file. (A PowerPoint Show appears full-screen in Slide Show, ready to view immediately.)

Save as a video file

After you've created your slides and recorded any timing and narrations and laser pointer gestures that you want to include, you're ready to create a video file.

On the File menu, select Save to ensure all your recent work has been saved in PowerPoint presentation format (.pptx).

Select  File > Export > Create a Video . (Or, on the Recording tab of the ribbon, select  Export to Video .)

In the first drop-down box under the Create a Video heading, select the video quality you want, which pertains to the resolution of the finished video. The higher the video quality, the larger the file size. (You may want to test them to determine which one meets your needs.)

* The Ultra HD (4K) option is only available if you're using Windows 10 or later.

The second drop-down box under the Create a Video heading tells whether your presentation includes narration and timings. (You may switch this setting if you like.)

If you haven't recorded timed narration, by default the value is Don't Use Recorded Timings and Narrations .

The default time spent on each slide is 5 seconds. You can change that timing in the Seconds to spend on each slide box. To the right of the box, select the up arrow to increase the duration, or select the down arrow to decrease the duration.

If you have recorded a timed narration, by default the value is Use Recorded Timings and Narrations .

Select  Create Video .

In the File name box, enter a file name for the video, browse for the folder that will contain this file, and then select  Save .

In the Save as type box, choose either MPEG-4 Video or Windows Media Video .

You can track the progress of the video creation by looking at the status bar at the bottom of your screen. The video creation process can take up to several hours depending on the length of the video and the complexity of the presentation.

Tip:    For a long video, you can set it up to be created overnight. That way, it’ll be ready for you the following morning.

To play your newly-created video, go to the designated folder location, and then double-click the file.

Save as a PowerPoint Show

When someone opens a PowerPoint Show file, it appears full-screen in Slide Show, rather than in edit mode. The viewer begins watching the presentation immediately.

On the File menu, select Save As .

Choose the folder location where you want to store your PowerPoint Show file.

In the Save as type box, choose PowerPoint Show (*.ppsx) .

Select Save .

Why turn your presentation into a video?

When you want to give a high-fidelity version of your presentation to colleagues or customers (either as an e-mail attachment, published to the web, on a CD or DVD), save it and let it play as a video.

You can save your presentation as either an MPEG-4 video file (.mp4) or a .wmv file. Both formats are widely supported and can be streamed over the internet.

Some tips to remember when recording your presentation as a video:

You can record and time voice narration and laser pointer movements in your video.

You can control the size of the multimedia file and the quality of your video.

You can include animations and transitions in your movie.

Viewers do not need to have PowerPoint installed on their computers to watch it.

If your presentation contains an embedded video, the video will play correctly without your needing to control it.

Depending on the content of your presentation, creating a video may take some time. Lengthy presentations and presentations with animations, transitions, and media content will likely take longer to create. Fortunately, you can continue to use PowerPoint while the video is being created

What parts of a presentation won't be included in a video?

The following items won't be included in a video that you create using PowerPoint:

Media inserted in previous versions of PowerPoint. To include these, you can convert or upgrade the media object.

For example, if you inserted the media using PowerPoint 2007, it will be linked and it will play in the presentation.  However, when you export the file as a video, the linked media will be dropped.  You can convert the file to the new file format (select the File tab, and under Info , select  Convert ), or you can right-click the media object and then select it to upgrade; it will embed the file and export it correctly.

QuickTime media (unless you have a third-party QuickTime codec named ffdShow installed and you have optimized for compatibility)

OLE/ActiveX controls

What to do with your video after creating it

After you create a video, you can share it with others by using the following methods:

Email your presentation to others

Save to a file share or other location

Upload it to your organization's Microsoft Stream video-sharing site , as described in the next section, "Save to a video-sharing site."

Save to the Microsoft video-sharing site

After you've created the video file, you can upload it to a video-sharing site. Microsoft Stream is an enterprise video service where people in an organization can upload, view, and share videos. Microsoft 365 business or education subscribers have access to this service from within PowerPoint for Microsoft 365. 

Select File > Export , and then select Publish to Microsoft Stream .

Type a title and a description for the video.

Set other options, including whether you want others in your organization to have permission to see the video:

Select the Publish button.

The upload process can take several minutes, depending on the length of the video. A status bar at the bottom of the PowerPoint window tracks the progress, and PowerPoint shows a message when the upload is finished:

Select the message to go directly to the video playback page on Microsoft Stream.

For more information about this service, begin reading with What is Microsoft Stream? It includes information about Office 365 Video vs. Microsoft Stream.

1 The Ultra HD (4K) option is only available if you're using Windows 10 or later. 2 In PowerPoint 2016, the Ultra HD (4K) option isn't available in the Volume License edition.

When someone opens a PowerPoint Show file, it appears full-screen in Slide Show, rather than in edit mode. The viewer begins watching the presentation immediately.

What do you need to record google slides presentations, how to record a presentation on google slides with zight: step-by-step guide, faqs on how to record a presentation on google slides.

Here’s an interesting statistic: 91% of people believe a well-designed slide deck can increase your confidence as a presenter. The first step to creating a good presentation is to choose the best software, and then record the presentation in HD.

Tell you what? You can create slides with Google Slides, then use the Zight screen recording software to present and narrate your slides to your audience. This has many benefits, including saving your presentation for future collaboration or asynchronous communication , which, in many ways, has more benefits than synchronous communication in a digital and remote workspace.

Read on as we tell you how to create this presentation from scratch, in just a few steps!

Google Slides is a free web-based presentation software provided by Google as part of the Google Drive suite. You can use it on any device with an internet connection, offering various features like an easy-to-use presenter view, speaker notes, live captions, and the ability to present to Google Meet video calls. Plus, your slides can contain text, images, videos, animations, and more to create dynamic content.

While you can present live in a meeting, today’s work landscape teams need to improve communication and productivity with asynchronous video communication . So, when you can’t gather everyone in a Google meeting, you need a way to create and share a presentation with your teams. Your options include recording a Google Slides presentation with narration, just like you create a PowerPoint presentation with Zight .

Here’s what you need:

To record a presentation on Google Slides, you will need a few things:

• A device with an internet connection: It’s best to have a computer to make it easy to create and present Google Slides
• A screen recording software like Zight: While Google Slides allows you to present live in a meeting, it won’t record audio or video files to send later. That’s where Zight comes in, allowing you to record and narrate your slides as you present so you can share with attendees at a later time
• An external microphone (optional) to record audio for your presentation. However, you can still use your native microphone on your computer
• A webcam (optional): If you want to show yourself presenting alongside the slides, a webcam will be necessary for recording. To make things easy, you can just use the Zight webcam recorder which will use your native webcam app
• A Google account: You can only access Google Slides with a Google account, so make sure to sign in to be able to create slides
• Google Slides: Before using the screen recording tool , you want to create and add content to the Google slides you will be narrating. More on this below!

Before you start recording, search for Google Slides on your browser, log in to your account and open an untitled presentation.

Alternatively, click File on a current Google Slides presentation page, then New, and Presentation (or from the template gallery to pick a presentation template).

Add content to your slides, using the (+) sign on the upper left-hand side of your Google Slides presentation page (or Ctrl+M) to add new slides. You can also click the dropdown menu next to the (+) sign and choose slides with your ideal layout. Add content to the slides by typing in text, inserting images, videos, shapes, or charts, and customize them with a unique theme and background color.

Once your Google slides are ready, here’s how to start recording:

1. Download Zight

If you don’t have Zight, click the red button below to download.

• Capture either part or all of your screen
• Annotate your screenshot with text, arrows, lines, and blur
• Instantly share with a link

Alternatively, search for “Zight” on your web browser and create an account. Then, download the app that’s compatible with your computer. Zight is available for Mac , Windows , and even as a Google Chrome extension .

2. Choose your Screen Recording Preferences

Open your presentation on Google Slides and ensure you can easily navigate to the slides once you’re ready to record.

On the Zight App

Launch the Zight app and click Record.

You’ll find recording options like Full Screen and Select Region, plus the Screen Only or Screen & Cam options. Screen Only is good when you don’t want to use your webcam, while the latter allows you to incorporate your webcam for a personal touch.

Then, select your audio/mic and webcam options, move your webcam overlay to a good space on your screen, and click Start Recording. Wait for the 3-second timer to count down before you go to the Google Slides presentation.

On the Google Chrome Extension

Click on the Zight icon on the upper left of your Google Chrome browser, click Record, and select either Screen Only or Screen & Cam. Then, turn on your microphone and webcam camera.

Next, click Start Recording and choose Entire Screen. After that, select the screen you want to record, and click Share. Click your mouse on any part of the screen to start recording and wait out the 3-second countdown.

The Zight screen recorder software will now be recording your entire screen.

3. Start Narrating Your Google Slides Presentation

On the Google Slides presentation page, click on the dropdown menu next to Slideshow.

Click Presenter View if you are viewing the first Google slide. Alternatively, click Start from the beginning if you are not on the first slide. This will turn your presentation into a full-screen view and you will see that Zight is sharing your screen.

Then, start narrating your Google slides in high video and audio quality.

You can pause and resume your screen recording and restart it to capture moments you may have missed in the beginning. You can also cancel the recording and delete the file to avoid uploading it to the cloud.

4. Annotate Your Presentation

One of the best things about presenting your Google Slides with Zight is that you can annotate the video just as easily as you narrate it.

If you are recording from the Zight app, you can pause the recording and then click the annotations button on the recording menu (the icon looks like a pen).

Once you do, you will see the different annotations you can add to the slides, including a pen, highlighter, arrow, line, ellipse, and rectangle. You can choose a different color for your annotations, even how long the annotation lasts on the final recorded video.

After annotating, resume the recording, rinse and repeat!

5. Finish Recording and Edit Your Video

Once you narrate all your Google slides, click the Finish recording button and wait for the file to upload to the cloud. Zight will also open the file on your default browser where you can edit the video file further.

When the video link opens, click the Edit button, and continue to split and merge sections, trim, crop, filter, and finetune different sections until the presentation is faultless. Click Done to save those settings.

On top of the recording, annotating, and editing of your Google Slides presentation, Zight will also transcribe your video and send the text to your email so you can go through the notes in case you missed something.

You can also add custom branding, and use AI features to generate a video summary and video titles. If you want to share the presentation with global teams, you will also love that you can translate the video file into 50 different languages for seamless communication.

6. Share the Presentation for Asynchronous Communication

To share the presentation, you can send the shareable link to your teams via Slack , Asana , Trello , and other chat boards and productivity software you use at work.

Alternatively, you can embed the video file in an email, or even download it on your computer then upload it on a platform like YouTube to reach a global audience.

7. Collaborate and Track Analytics

The best part about recording your presentation in superior video footage with Zight is how you can save it for collaboration later.

Firstly, you can save the video to a Collection on your Zight dashboard or add it to a Favorites list. This way, the video will be readily available and you can track how many people interact with it, either through comments or reactions to finetune your collaboration and communication strategy.

In addition, this video presentation will always be available on your Zight cloud account, and, as long as you keep it, even your colleagues or recipients can always retrieve it for future reference.

There you have it, an easy way to record your Google Slides presentation using Zight! With this method, you can easily create and share professional-looking recordings of your presentations to a global audience.

If you want to feel more confident before your audience with a well-designed and narrated deck, ensure you have a reliable internet connection before starting the recording. In addition, close any unnecessary tabs or programs on your computer to avoid interruptions. Finally, while Zight may use the native mic on your computer, you can prefer to use a high-quality microphone for better audio clarity.

Most importantly, don’t forget to rehearse and practice your presentation beforehand to ensure a smooth delivery and minimize any mistakes during the recording. With these tips in mind, you can confidently create engaging presentations that will impress your audience.

So why wait? Get Zight today and take your presentations to the next level!
