Recording a PowerPoint Presentation, the FAQs
Subscribe to techsmith’s newsletter.
Everyone has, at some point, put a load of time and effort into creating the perfect PowerPoint presentation, only to use it once or twice. But isn’t it a shame for all that hard work to be discarded so quickly? Is every slide deck destined for deletion after just a couple of uses?
Isn’t there a better way to make the most out of your presentations? Well, yes. Yes, there is.
Rather than simply creating and presenting your work once or twice, recording your presentations can give them a new lease of life. Whether it’s a data report or a self-recorded PowerPoint, you can record a presentation in real-time, or in advance to make it available on-demand.
In this guide, we’ll explore two distinct ways of recording your presentation. First, we’ll discuss how to record a presentation from PowerPoint with audio and webcam, and then we’ll look at how to turn your .ppt slides into a video.
Benefits of Recording a Presentation
As well as there being many different ways to record a presentation, there are also many benefits of recording them. So, before we show you the ‘how,’ let’s talk about the ‘why.’
- Encouraging asynchronous communication : One key benefit is fostering asynchronous communication . By recording presentations, you’re letting your audience engage with the content in their own time, breaking the constraints of time zones and scheduling conflicts. This also ensures your viewers can absorb information at their own pace, and revisit it as needed.
- Boosting SEO : You can use your presentation to create a YouTube video and share it on your website to increase your online visibility and attract prospective customers. This can be a great way to expand your audience, increase web traffic, and establish yourself as an expert in your field.
- Perfecting your presentation : Whether it’s in-person or over Zoom, you don’t get second chances with live presentations. However, a pre-recorded keynote lets you perfect the content and the narration before anyone sees it. This is a great way to combat stage fright while honing your presentation skills and building confidence.
With this in mind, turning your slides into a video is a no-brainer. It’s an easy way to grow your audience and make the information you’re sharing more accessible and easier to digest.
Video messages > meetings
Record your screen and camera with Snagit for quick updates and feedback.
Depending on your audience and the type of presentation you need to deliver, TechSmith’s Snagit could just be the perfect tool for recording your PowerPoint. With its user-friendly interface and advanced features, Snagit is ideal for capturing top-notch presentation videos, in just a few clicks.
Now, there’s no denying that presentations are better when you can see the presenter… Fortunately, Snagit lets you capture your screen and webcam at the same time to create a Picture-in-Picture video.
In this section, we’ll guide you through the steps to record your presentation and webcam with Snagit.
Step 1: Open video capture
First, open Snagit and navigate to the Capture window. Select the Video tab, and start by clicking the big red Capture button.
Step 2: Select a recording area
Next, you’ll be prompted to choose which parts of your screen you want to record. Use Snagit’s orange crosshairs to select a specific region, window, or your entire screen.
Step 3: Configure recording settings
With the Video Recording toolbar, you can set options like Cursor Capture and Effects, System Audio, and Webcam.
If your webcam isn’t showing, click on the webcam icon. If you have an external webcam, select the one you want to use by clicking the dropdown arrow next to the webcam icon.
Step 4: Adjust your webcam
Next, adjust your webcam options to ensure your Picture-in-Picture recording looks how you want it. Here you can change the Picture-in-Picture placement as well as the shape and size of your webcam recording. You can even toggle between Picture-in-Picture and fullscreen webcam modes as you like.
The best part? You can make these adjustments even while recording.
Step 5: Manage recording
When you’re ready to roll, hit the Record button and click the Stop button when you’re finished. It’s that simple!
And remember, if there’s an interruption (like an unexpected visit from the mailman), just hit Pause. It’s okay to take a break — your video won’t be ruined by a little interruption.
Step 6: Edit your video
Once you’ve finished recording, Snagit will automatically open your video in the Snagit Editor, which is super easy to use. From here, you can make light edits to the footage as needed.
For example, if you need to cut or trim your footage , you can! Here’s how:
- Set Start Point : Drag the Start handle (green) on the timeline to your desired starting point.
- Set End Point : Similarly, drag the End handle (red) to where you want to end the cut.
- Review the Segment : Before making any cuts, you can review the segment by dragging the Playhead (white) left and right across the timeline. This ensures you’re only cutting the footage you intend to.
- Make the Cut : Once you’re satisfied with the selection, click the Cut button, which will pop up once you’ve made a selection.
And that’s all there is to it! If you want to go the extra mile, you can also use Snagit to save individual frames of your video as images , which can be used to create a thumbnail for your video .
Record your screen effortlessly
Share quick updates, record presentations, and create how-to videos with Snagit!
Now, Snagit is great for recording less formal videos in a flash, but if your presentation is intended for a particularly large or important audience, you might be looking to create something more polished. This is where TechSmith’s Camtasia comes in.
Camtasia is one of the smartest and most intuitive pieces of editing software out there, but it also makes for a pretty nifty screen recorder too. Camtasia is great for recording presentations when you need more control and editing powers over the final product.
But best of all, Camtasia streamlines the process by letting you record your presentation and voice over directly within PowerPoint.
Step 1: Set up your presentation video recording
If you’re a Windows user, you’ll have the option to include a PowerPoint Add-in Toolbar when you install Camtasia. While this feature isn’t currently available on MacOS, the Camtasia Add-in Toolbar allows you to start, stop, and control your recordings from within PowerPoint — so you don’t need to switch between applications.
Just open the presentation you want to record and locate the Add-in toolbar under the Add-ins tab.
Don’t see the add-in toolbar? Go to File > Options > Add-ins, to enable it. Click on the Manage drop-down, select Disabled Items, then click Go. If the Camtasia Add-in is listed, select it, and click Enable.
If you’re an Apple user, don’t panic! You can still record your screen (with audio) on a Mac using Camtasia, and it’s just as easy. Alternatively, you can skip ahead to the next section and import your slides directly into Camtasia.
Step 2: Customize your recording options
Now let’s walk through each of the options on the toolbar before we begin recording.
Record audio
The microphone button controls whether or not audio is recorded as part of your presentation. When you enable it, you’ll be able to record your narration using a microphone.
If you are planning to record audio, this is where you’ll select your microphone. If you want to record great audio , we suggest using an external microphone, rather than the one that’s built into your laptop.
Some of the best microphones for recording video are likely to be less expensive than you think. But, if you’re on a shoestring budget, even the mic that’s built into your headphones could produce better audio than your laptop.
Once you’re set up, be sure to test the mic and adjust the volume slider as needed. You’ll also need to decide whether or not to record your system audio, which is any sound that comes out of your speakers, such as email notifications.
Record webcam
If you have a webcam, you can also record your camera during the presentation to create a Picture-in-Picture clip — just as you can with Snagit!
To customize even more of the recording settings, click the Recording Options button. Here you’ll find settings that let you record with a watermark and adjust your video frame rate . There are a few more options too, but the default settings should work just fine.
When you’re ready, click OK to close this window and save any changes made.
Step 3: Record your presentation
The final step is as simple as clicking the Record button in the toolbar. This will launch your slides into the Presentation Mode and start recording.
When you exit Presentation Mode or reach the end of your slideshow, you can either continue recording your screen, or stop recording and save your file. Pretty easy right?
Before you get started, let us show you another way to turn your presentation into a video, without recording your desktop .
Another way to create a video from your presentation is to import your PowerPoint slides into Camtasia. This way you can adjust how long each slide appears on screen, as well as add Behaviors and Annotations to personalize your presentation and highlight important information.
By importing your slides into Camtasia, and recording your voice over separately, you get a lot more flexibility with the editing process, which means you have more control over the finished article.
If you do decide to record your audio separately, you might want to take a look at TechSmith’s Audiate . This advanced audio recorder will transcribe your voice over in real-time and let you edit the audio file as if it were a text-based document. We don’t want to brag, but it’s probably the best way to add a voice over to a PowerPoint .
Regardless of how you decide to narrate your PowerPoint, here’s how to turn your presentation into a video:
1. Import your PowerPoint slides
First, start by importing your PowerPoint slides directly into Camtasia. Once your media is imported, you can edit it by dragging your slides into the Editing Toolbar.
You can now add the images to the Timeline, and edit them like any other media in a Project.
If you drag your slides to the Timeline, the slides will be placed in the order of the presentation, each with a default 5-second duration.
With your presentation on the timeline, use Ripple Move to create space in between slides to adjust the timing of each one. To do this, hold shift, then click and drag.
Once you’ve imported your slides and adjusted the duration of each one to correlate with your voice over, it’s time to start editing.
How to edit a presentation video (in Camtasia)
Add behaviors.
Firstly, add some visual interest with Camtasia Behaviors . A Behavior is an animation that brings movement to your slides, making them stand out on screen. This is a great way to bring parts of your presentation to life and take it from ordinary to extraordinary — because nobody likes a boring presentation .
To add a Behavior, click and drag the Behavior you wish to use onto the slide you want to animate. Once added, you can adjust the Behavior using the Properties tab.
Add annotations
Another good way to grab and direct your audience’s attention is to add some Annotations, which are great for highlighting important information.
To insert an Annotation, click the Annotation tab on the left side of the screen and drag it into the designated slide. You can then re-position and edit the Annotation in the Properties tab as needed.
Absolutely! Both Snagit and Camtasia are excellent choices for recording a professional and polished presentation. Snagit is perfect for no-fuss recording and editing. If you require more sophisticated editing capabilities, Camtasia is the ideal choice, offering the added convenience of recording your slideshow and voice over directly within PowerPoint.
Click the Record button in the toolbar to launch your slides into the Presentation Mode and start recording. When you exit Presentation Mode or reach the end of your slideshow, you can either continue recording your screen or stop and save your file.
If you’re planning to record audio, select your microphone in the recording options. The microphone button controls whether or not audio is recorded as part of your presentation. If you have a webcam attached to your computer, you can also record your camera to create a Picture-in-Picture clip, perfect for showing the presenter during the presentation.
With Snagit, you can conveniently record your voice over as you go through your presentation, capturing both the audio and visuals in one go. If you’re looking for more advanced recording and editing options, you might also consider using Camtasia, which allows you to record your voice over while presenting. For even more control, use Audiate to record your audio separately and then import it into Camtasia for fine-tuning.

How to Create Pro-level PowerPoint Videos with Audio
Senior Marketing Manager at Loom
The power of a presentation lies in its ability to educate and inspire.
But why limit access to inspiring ideas because of the time slot in which they were presented? Microsoft PowerPoint, Google Slides, and Keynote slides have become the go-to formats for delivering supporting content to help audiences from classrooms to boardrooms engage with ideas. But once the content is complete, what happens to it?
Getting used to the sound of your own voice can take some time, but the benefits of using Loom to record PowerPoint presentations are worth it.
Depending on the content and intended audience, a few will be published, stored, or made available on a marketplace. However, many will be lost, all your hard work never to be seen again. PowerPoint slides that aren't accompanied by a presentation are incomplete and don't do a sufficient job of expressing the author's ideas.
If you want to get ahead of the curve and preserve the integrity of your hard work, learn how to record a presentation by recording your screen .
Loom is one of the most popular choices for recording a video presentation—and for a good reason. The user interface is straightforward and easy to use. Mastering it requires little effort.
The benefits of presenting a PowerPoint in video
There are several reasons someone would want to learn how to record a PowerPoint presentation. Whether they’re explaining the quarterly statistics in a sales meeting , creating a webinar as a marketing tool , or recording training sessions for onboarding new hires, communicating ideas clearly and succinctly via video becomes more crucial every day.
With Loom, you can engage directly with your audience, allowing you to interact with a large group of people in a small, intimate environment. Let's look at some advantages of knowing how to record slide show presentations and the procedure for doing so.
Scheduled attendance is not guaranteed
Unless your presentation is a mandatory work meeting or you're teaching a paid course, many individuals will drop out before or during the presentation. However, by providing a presentation recording for them, you can still interact with those people, and they’ll feel supported by your accessibility.
Provides on-demand access to your presentation
Using Loom's video recording capabilities, you provide access to your material long after you've presented it. Giving your audience access to resources is one of the best ways to build trust and support.
Enhances your search engine optimization (SEO)
If you don't want to make your recorded presentations available on-demand but want to reap the benefits of SEO-driven traffic, you may post all or part of it on YouTube as a free resource in the future to attract new prospects.
Practice makes perfect
Another reason to learn how to record a presentation is that you can review your work before showing it to a live audience. By recording yourself before a meeting or lecture, you can review the footage to ensure you cover every aspect of the topic, make improvements, and eliminate those pre-performance jitters.
Tips for video recording yourself presenting a PowerPoint
While technology and practice are your two best allies in confidently presenting PowerPoint video presentations, a few extra tips can make yours even more effective and professional. Consider following these best practices:
Choose the right equipment
Video communications technology has flourished in the last few years. There are more options than ever to record presentations and deliver them digitally to a worldwide audience. A tool like Loom makes it easy to record webcam videos, screen captures, and recorded narration quickly and easily. This lets you present your PowerPoint or any other content to a digital audience without extensive and time-consuming video editing.
Include direct-to-camera (DTC) content
Personalization is the heart of every good video—nothing builds a personalized experience like a friendly face. Use a simultaneous webcam and screen capture to record yourself explaining the slides and information on the screen. Adding picture-in-picture DTC elements creates rapport and trust with your audience and ensures they stay engaged with your presentation.
Slide text: Less is more
Text is great for outlining the major themes of a presentation and adding context to discussions, but with a PowerPoint presentation, treat text as the seasoning in a recipe. Use what you need to enhance the experience, but don’t overwhelm.
Build your slides as an outline for each discussion topic and a home for visual elements like charts, infographics, and embedded video clips. But you, as the presenter, should do most of the talking. Building your presentation this way keeps viewers focused and engaged instead of hurrying to keep up with the reading.
Structure your presentation
Well-structured content is vital to the flow and digestibility of your presentation. When building your slides and video script, organize your information similarly to a blog post or an ebook. Start with an introduction to share your personal info and a general topical overview. Create segments that logically lay out each point or step in the process. Wrap things up with a conclusion and (if needed) a call to action that invites the viewer to take the next step—booking a call, downloading a resource, or signing up for a service.
Keep videos concise and skimmable
Digital fatigue is real. With so many videos and messages competing for our attention, creating a streamlined presentation results in longer view duration . The average view duration of a YouTube video may be as short as 40 seconds, with the median watch time averaging just over a minute and a half .
Another trick to increase viewability is to make it easy for viewers to skim. A well-structured presentation offers natural segments to help viewers zero in on the information they need. YouTube offers a Chapters feature that lets you insert a linkable outline so viewers can easily skip to specific timestamps.
Basic recording in PowerPoint
Microsoft offers basic tools to start recording your PowerPoint presentation. Here’s a quick step-by-step guide to recording a simple presentation:
Step 1: From PowerPoint, open the slide with which you want to start your presentation.
Step 2: Select Record from the upper right hand corner of the PowerPoint window.
Step 3: Make sure your recording and voice settings are set properly, then click the round Record button. Begin your presentation.
Step 4: Click through your slide presentation and record your audio. Be sure to pause during slide transitions, as PowerPoint will not record audio during slide changes.
Step 5: Save your finished PowerPoint video to your local device and share it through email or upload it to sharing platforms like Vimeo, YouTube, etc.
An important note: PowerPoint’s native recording features offer some editing and highlight features. You’ll need a screen recorder app like Loom to film direct-to-camera or make substantial edits.
How to use Loom’s presentation recording software
It's simple to record yourself and your screen presentation side-by-side using only your laptop, a built-in camera, a mic, and Loom. Using Loom to record presentations on a computer is a fantastic way to save time and guarantee that your presentation goes precisely as planned. Loom's basic version is free to use and provides users with different options to meet their unique needs best. You may record the material on your screen and even take a video of yourself presenting alongside your screen capture.
Loom is available as a PC screen recorder , Mac screen recorder , iOS screen recorder , and Android screen recorder . The two primary methods are through the Desktop Client or the Chrome Screen Recorder . The desktop versions offer a higher recording resolution (4k compared to 1080p in the Chrome extension) and additional features like camera frames and backgrounds.
In either case, learning to record a presentation is simple with Loom’s easy-to-use presentation recorder. Here’s some information to help you get started.
You can create a Loom account using a variety of methods. Users may log in with their Google account information, or connect their Slack account information, email address, password, and name. You must first complete the registration process to have access to the program.
What is the Loom desktop client, and how can I use it?
Search for Loom in the Windows search box or click the red pinwheel Loom logo to launch the Loom Desktop Client. After you've opened it, choose the type of video recording you wish to make. Cam Only, Screen Only, and Screen + Cam are the three possibilities for the basic Loom version. As their names suggest, Cam Only and Screen Only allow you to record the material on your screen or yourself through a camera. Screen + Cam will enable you to make a presentation recording with both yourself and the information in real time, allowing others to watch your reactions to the material and connect with you as the presenter.
If you wish to record your screen, the presentation recorder has three options for defining the parameters of your video: Full Screen, Window, and Custom Size.
Full Screen captures everything on your monitor or display, allowing others to watch and follow along.
You may use the Window option to record a single computer application if you want to construct a more restricted lesson without interruptions.
Custom Size is exclusively available to Pro account holders, allowing users to build custom windows to capture particular areas of their screen.
To record your Loom videos, use the built-in webcam and microphone on your smartphone or computer or additional devices as needed. Loom recommends using high-quality microphones for better audio.
Using the Loom Google Chrome Extension to capture videos
First, download and install the Loom Google Chrome Extension from the Chrome Web Store. Then launch the extension's user interface by clicking on the red pinwheel Loom logo in the browser's top right corner. You can choose Cam Only, Screen Only, and Screen + Cam, the same as the desktop client. Unfortunately, users of the Google Chrome Extension can only record their entire screen or the contents of a single tab.
The Video Control menu differs from the desktop extension, appearing in the bottom left corner of the browser window. Users may only utilize three buttons: Start/End Recording, Pause Recording, and Delete Recording.
Using the Loom desktop client to record videos
Each option lets you use Loom's camera bubble , which allows you to see and record yourself as well as a video. There is no set limit on the duration of the video, but Loom will provide you alerts to ensure you don't keep recording by accident. Once you've decided on your selections, go to the four-button Video Control menu on the left side of your screen. To start your video, press the Recording button at the top of the menu. This button has two purposes: When the button is red, it indicates that you’re currently recording, and it stops the recording when clicked a second time.
The Pause button is located beneath the Recording button and is used to pause your video. However, depending on your computer, you may alternatively use Alt + Shift + P or Option + Shift + P . The Delete option is represented by a garbage can icon, which pauses the recording and completely deletes the video once you confirm your decision via a dialog box.
How to use the speaker notes feature
Loom makes presentations easier with speaker notes , an on-screen cue card feature visible only to you. Speaker notes are bullet points or full scripts written by you and activated during recording. These prompts allow you to deliver your message with confidence, without the need to remember your whole script or utilize physical note cards.
From the desktop app, open Loom and click Speaker Notes. Use the pop-up window to type in your notes, then resize the notes window to suit your needs before recording. Speaker notes are always presented on top, so there’s no need to switch windows during your presentation.
How AI-generated chapters work
Want your viewers to be able to skip to the most useful portion of a presentation? The AI-generated chapter feature allows viewers to select important topics within your presentation and navigate to them easily. These time-stamped chapters also allow users to link and respond to content.
How to use the drawing tool
Finally, the drawing tool , symbolized by a pen icon and available with the Pro subscription, can assist you in focusing on certain facts and numbers. Using this button, which includes picking a preset color, lets you make graphics that will draw your viewer's attention to key information.
Preserve your ideas with Loom’s Presentation Recorder
If you’re just starting out, learning to record a presentation with Loom is an excellent tool for creating quality content. As the world continues to move towards remote work environments, the ability to give an online presentation (and record it for posterity) becomes more essential every day.
Loom is free, so don’t wait to see how you can enhance your video presentation with video capture software.

Here’s a glimpse of how to edit and polish your PowerPoint recording in Descript:
Edit your recording like a doc
Did you make a mistake during a slide transition? No problem. Just delete those sections in the text transcript (created automatically by Descript) and the video will adjust to match.
Remove filler words

Other ways to video record yourself presenting a PowerPoint
Use Zoom’s meeting recording feature to record yourself giving a PowerPoint presentation. Start a Zoom meeting with yourself, share your PowerPoint window, and enable recording
Loom is a handy screen recording tool that also offers a webcam overlay. Launch the Loom app or Chrome extension and set it to record your screen and webcam. Expect high-quality recordings but no advanced editing features. The free plan offers only five minutes of recording at a stretch.
3. OBS Studio
OBS Studio is a free, open-source screen recorder/streaming software with a steeper learning curve. It’s popular among advanced or tech-savvy users who need granular customization and control.
To record your presentation, add a "Screen Capture" source to capture your PowerPoint window and a "Video Capture Device" source for your webcam.
4. Clipchamp: Recording natively in Windows
You can use Microsoft’s Clipchamp , the built-in screen recorder and video editor for Windows, to simultaneously capture your computer screen, webcam, and audio for recording your PowerPoint presentation. It’s also available as a browser-based app. You can record up to 30 minutes on screen and webcam recordings.
Users can also adjust the screen and webcam recordings in the editing timeline separately.
5. Quick Time Player Recording natively in Mac
Use Mac’s Quick Time Player to record your PowerPoint presentation. It’s not as straightforward as the other options on this list, so here’s a quick guide to help you out:
- Launch Quick Time Player.
- Select File and go to New Movie Recording.
- You'll be recording your entire screen in addition to recording your face, so adjust the size and location of the recording window so that it's in a nonintrusive corner of your PowerPoint.
- Go to View and select Float on Top .
- Next, go to File and select New Screen Recording.
- On the menu that appears, select Record Selected Portion and drag a border around your PowerPoint and the webcam recording window.
- Press Record and start presenting.
- You can adjust the video quality and the audio source in the webcam recording window.
How to turn your PowerPoint presentation slides into a video
Did you know PowerPoint lets you save your presentation as a video, too?
Here's a breakdown of the two ways you can do so—keeping all the presentation elements (narration, animation, pointer movements, timings, and so on) intact in the presentation itself.
Save your PowerPoint presentation as a video
This creates a separate video file (MP4 or WMV) that anyone can play, even without PowerPoint.
Follow these steps:
- Save your presentation
- Go to File > Export > Create a Video
- Ultra HD (4K): Best for large screens (if you have Windows 10+)
- Full HD (1080p): Great for computers and TVs
- HD (720p): Good for streaming online or on DVDs
- Standard (480p): Smallest size, good for phones
4. Decide on narration
- If you haven't recorded yourself talking, choose "Don't Use Recorded Timings and Narrations" from the dropdown menu
- If you have a recording, choose "Use Recorded Timings and Narrations." You can also set how long each slide shows for (default is 5 seconds)
5. Click Create Video
6. Name your video, pick a folder to save it in, and choose a file type (MPEG-4 or Windows Media Video)
Creating the video might take a while, especially for longer presentations. You can even leave it running overnight. Once done, find your video in the chosen folder and double-click to play it.
Save your PowerPoint presentation as a slideshow
This saves your presentation as a special file (PPSX) that starts playing automatically on full screen when opened. It only works with PowerPoint.
Here’s how it works:
- Make sure your presentation is saved (regular PowerPoint file)
- Go to File > Save As .
- Pick a folder to save the slideshow in.
- Under Save as type, choose PowerPoint Show (*.ppsx) .
- Click Save .
Now when someone opens the file, it will automatically play the slideshow.
Pro tips for making better video PowerPoint presentations
Practice your script.
Recording a flawless PowerPoint video rarely happens in one take. The key is practice.
Record practice run-throughs and watch them back. Make notes on areas that need improvement or parts lacking clarity. The more you drill your script, the more confident and natural you'll sound in the final recording.
Take advantage of PowerPoint's built-in Speaker Coach . The feature shows you whether your pace is too fast or slow, your use of filler words like "um," and suggestions to improve your voice modulation.
Use slide notes for coherent delivery
Wouldn’t a personal teleprompter make presentations so much easier? That’s what slide notes are for.
Having your thoughts and talking points organized within your PowerPoint file lets you have all crucial information and prompts readily available when recording.
Go ahead and add detailed notes or even a full script for each slide. This will help you stay on track and provide a handy transcript reference if you need to do any editing or voiceover work in post-production.
Use high-quality audio equipment or turn on Studio Sound
Poor audio recording quality is a surefire way to make even the most visually polished video feel amateurish. Do your presentation justice by investing in a decent external or Bluetooth microphone and audio interface to capture clear voiceover audio.
If you must use a built-in mic, record in a quiet environment to minimize background noise pickup. Or better yet, pair up with an AI-powered audio enhancement tool like Descript's Studio Sound , which reduces background noise , reverb, and other artifacts.
Ensure a clean background and even lighting
Ditch cluttered backgrounds. You want people to focus on the content of your PowerPoint and not be distracted by the funny shapes and colors in your video.
Your video lighting and framing matters, too. Position yourself facing a natural light source or bring supplemental video lighting to eliminate weird shadows and squinting-level glare.
Look directly into the camera or turn on Eye Contact
Looking directly into the camera is essential to create a sense of connection with the audience. Position your webcam or camera at eye level and imagine you're talking to a friend. If you're using Descript, enable the Eye Contact feature to auto-adjust your gaze towards the camera.
- Dress professionally and maintain a good posture to project confidence and authority.
- Use visuals, animations, and multimedia elements to enhance your presentation and keep your audience engaged.
- Consider adding closed captions or subtitles to your video for better accessibility and engagement, especially for those watching without sound.
- Speak clearly and at a moderate pace, using vocal variety to emphasize key points and maintain interest.
- Incorporate storytelling techniques, real-life examples, or personal anecdotes to make your video presentation more relatable and memorable .
Take your PowerPoint presentations from amateur to amazing
Recording yourself virtually presenting a PowerPoint allows you to distribute your message using the most engaging type of content: video. And there are many screen recording tools out there that can capture your screen and web camera footage with just a few clicks.
But how do you stand out?
By focusing on the presentation's depth, your delivery, and the video's quality. The first two are the bare minimum to communicate your message effectively.
But the right screen capture software and all-in-one video creation tool like Descript can help you with third. Use the tool to improve the quality of your recorded PPT presentations.
With Descript, it's easier than ever to record your screen, polish up the audio, and create stunning visuals all in one place. So why wait?
Sign up for Descript today and simplify your workflow while creating a PowerPoint presentation video that sticks with your audience in the long term.
How do you make a presentation video with your face?
To create a presentation video with your face, follow these steps:
- Open your presentation in PowerPoint.
- Go to the Slide Show tab.
- Click on Record and choose From Current Slide or From Beginning .
- Choose your microphone and camera by clicking on a sound icon on the top-right.
- Start recording by clicking on the record button.
- Speak into your microphone to narrate the presentation.
- Your webcam will capture your face during the recording.

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.

How to Record a PowerPoint Presentation with Narration
Can be helpful in creating a dramatic narrative
Microsoft PowerPoint has a built-in recording tool that allows you to narrate your presentations using recorded audio. You can export and share recorded presentations as video files.
This tutorial covers everything about recording PowerPoint presentations on Windows and Mac computers.
Record PowerPoint Presentation with Narration
Open the PowerPoint file/presentation you want to record and follow the steps below.
Record PowerPoint Presentation on Windows
- Select the slide you want to start recording from on the slide thumbnail pane.
- Head to the Record tab on the ribbon and select the Record button to start recording from the current/selected slide.
To record from the first slide, select the down-facing arrow icon below the Record button and select From Beginning .
You can also record a presentation from the Slide Show tab. Select Slide Show on the ribbon and select Record , From Current Slide , or From Beginning .
That’ll open PowerPoint’s presentation recorder in a fullscreen window.
- Select the Record icon and start speaking after the three seconds countdown.
PowerPoint records the presentation window and captures your voice and webcam feed as you navigate the slides. Select the left-facing and right-facing arrows to move to the previous and next slides in the presentation.
Record PowerPoint Presentation in macOS
- Open the Slide Show tab and select Record Slide Show .
- Select the Record button on the toolbar to start recording your narration.
Use your keyboard arrow keys to move back and forth between slides. Press N or Space Bar to move to the next slide or animation in the presentation. Press P or Backspace to return to the previous slide or animation.
Select Tips in the top-left corner for more keyboard shortcuts and other presentation tips.
Note: The narration tool doesn’t record slide transitions. When moving between slides, wait for the destination slide to appear on the screen before speaking.
PowerPoint Recorder Control/Settings
You’ll find a handful of controls and options on the recording tool. We’ll show you how to use these controls to include voiceovers or audio recordings in your presentation.
Using Presentation Pointer Tools
PowerPoint provides several tools to mark up your slides when narrating your presentation. There’s a pen tool, eraser, laser pointer, and highlighter.
With the Pen tool, you can draw on slides during narration/recording. Press Ctrl + P (Windows) or Command + P (Mac) to use the pen tool. You can also select the Pen icon to convert the pointer to a pen.
The Laser pointer tool converts your cursor to an onscreen laser. Use the laser pointer to draw attention to something on a slide/presentation.
Press Ctrl + L (Windows) or Command + L (Mac) to use the laser pointer. There’s also a Laser pointer icon on the toolbar.
Pressing Ctrl + I (or selecting the Highlighter tool ) converts your cursor to a highlighter.
Use the Eraser tool to remove inks and highlight from slides. Select the Eraser icon or press Ctrl + E and select the ink to erase.
On macOS, select the Erase Pen icon (or press E ) to erase all drawings and highlights on the slide.
You can change the pointer tools ink from the color selection boxes. However, one major limitation is that you can’t change the size of these pointer tools.
Pause and Resume Your Recording
In Windows, press I on your keyboard or select the Pause button in the top-left corner to pause your recording.
Press I again or select the Record icon to resume the recording.
If you use a Mac, select the Pause icon in the top toolbar to pause the recording.
Unmute or Mute Microphone
Check that your microphone is unmuted before recording. Select the microphone icon in the bottom-right corner to mute or unmute your mic.

On Mac computers, you’ll find the video control icon on the top toolbar.
Note: The recording tool greys out the camcorder icon if your microphone is turned off.
Enable or Disable Camera Preview
PowerPoint allows you to disable the camera preview without turning off your camera or webcam.
Press Ctrl + J (Windows) or select the Camera Preview icon in the bottom-right corner to disable or enable the camera preview.

When you end a narration, press V on your keyboard or select Replay to preview or watch the recording.
The recorded narration will include all pen inks, highlights, and laser pointer gestures made during the presentation.
You can also preview/replay the narration outside the recording tool. Open the Slide Show tab and choose to watch the playback From Beginning or From Current Slide .
PowerPoint allows you to preview the playback on individual slides. A speaker/audio icon appears in the bottom-right of PowerPoint slides with narrations.
Choose the slide you want to preview, hover your cursor on the speaker icon in the bottom-right corner, and select Play .
Delete Current Narration/Recording
Did you spot an error when previewing your presentation? Want to delete the current narration and start from scratch?

Alternatively, open the File menu, select Export on the sidebar, and select Create a Video .
- Choose the quality of the video export in the first drop-down box—Ultra HD (4K), Full HD (1080p), HD (720p), Standard (480p).
- Choose Use Recorded Timings and Narrations in the next drop-down box and select Create Video .
- Give the recorded presentation a file name and select Save .
Narrate Your PowerPoint Presentations
The Microsoft PowerPoint web app doesn’t have a recording tool. As a result, you can only record presentations with narrations using PowerPoint for Windows or Mac.
You might meet issues recording a slide show if you use an outdated version of PowerPoint. Also, the recording tool on older versions of PowerPoint has a different interface and lacks some controls. Update PowerPoint and restart your computer if you cannot record a slide show.

In order to produce high-quality recordings, it's important to pay attention to a few key factors: a stable internet connection, a quiet recording environment, and good lighting. Once these are sorted, consider setting up your technical tools correctly.
Here's how to configure your recording setup when using PowerPoint or Clipchamp.
How to setup PowerPoint’s recording features
As mentioned above, PowerPoint allows you to record your slides as well as your camera. Take a look at some considerations to record without errors.
Video source setup : Navigate to the recording tab in PowerPoint. Here, you can select your video source—usually your computer’s built-in webcam or an external camera connected to your computer. Ensure the camera is correctly selected and positioned.
Audio source setup : Select your audio input source in the same recording tab. This could be your laptop’s internal microphone, an external microphone, or another connected audio device. Choose the best-quality microphone available and record audio to check for clarity and volume. Adjust the microphone settings to reduce background noise and ensure your voice is clear and audible.
Preview and testing : Before starting the actual recording, do a test run to see and hear how you appear and sound in the recording. This test will help you adjust the camera position, audio settings, and move to another location if the lighting or background noise are distracting.
How to setup screen and webcam recording in Clipchamp
Configure your recording settings in Clipchamp to optimize video and audio quality.
Choose a presentation size: A standard 16:9 aspect ratio is suitable for most presentations.
Set up your screen and camera recording permissions : Go to the record & create tab on the toolbar. Next, click on the screen tool or screen and camera tool. A popup window will appear requesting permissions. Allow Clipchamp access to your camera and microphone if you haven't used our webcam recorder before. Click allow when ready to proceed.
Choose screen source : Either record your browser tab, window, or entire screen through the popup window.
Choose webcam and audio source: Select your microphone source, camera source and select speaker coach if desired through the popup window.
Trim away mistakes
Use the intuitive trimming tool in Clipchamp to remove unnecessary segments of your screen recording, webcam video or audio voiceover in a few clicks. This helps maintain the engagement in your presentation. Learn how in this tutorial video .
Use captions to create accessible videos
Generate real-time captions for your video presentation to make it easier to understand on mute with the autocaptions feature . Just turn on autocaptions to automatically create a video transcript which consists of an index of timestamps to help you navigate your video better.
Add annotation stickers to enhance messages
Draw attention to specific elements within your PowerPoint presentation by overlaying sticker annotations. In the content library tab on the toolbar, search through an endless range of shapes and annotations like arrows, squares, circles, stars, graphics, and more.
Speed up and slow down videos
If your presentation is too slow or too fast, easily edit your video’s speed with the beginner friendly speed selector . Just remember to make your presentation speed easy to understand and not too fast.
Add text animations for clarity
This can help reinforce your messages and ensure they resonate with your audience. Provide more context for viewers with text animations . Choose from a wide range of professional titles like multiline, lower third, bouncing, mirror and more. Customize titles to suit your presentation theme with different fonts, colors, sizes, and positions .
Use ASL stickers to enhance videos
Make your PowerPoint videos more accessible for work, school, or social media with the help of popular American Sign Language video stickers . Just place an ASL sticker side by side with your video content or as a standalone clip to convey meaning to the deaf and hard of hearing community.
Adjust your webcam footage
Make your webcam videos appear more vibrant and professional-looking with the color correction tools . These tools allow you to adjust brightness, contrast, and saturation simply.

How to Record in a PowerPoint presentation Audio & Video.
Recording audio and video in a PowerPoint presentation can improve the overall effectiveness and impact of your presentation because it can make it more interesting and keep your audience engaged.
Microsoft PowerPoint 2013 and later versions allow you to record your presentation with audio and video, so you can enhance your slides with voice narration or by recording yourself during the narration via the camera.
In this guide we show, how you can record your voice or yourself while presenting a Microsoft PowerPoint Presentation and how to insert an audio or video file to a Presentation. You will also learn how to save the presentation as a video file or as a PowerPoint Show after you have finished recording audio/video.
How to Record or Insert Audio or Video in a PowerPoint Presentation.
There are two ways to include audio and video in your PowerPoint presentation: record a slide show with audio from your microphone and video from your camera, or add external audio and video to your presentation from a file.
* Note: As mentioned above, to add sound and video to a PowerPoint presentation you should have Microsoft PowerPoint 2013, 2016, 2019 or PowerPoint for Office 365.
1. Record your Audio & Video to PowerPoint.
2. Insert External Audio or Video files to PowerPoint.
Method 1. Record your Sound and Video to a PowerPoint Presentation.
To record your voice narration and/or yourself while presenting the slides in a presentation:
Step 1. Configure Microphone & Camera Settings.
Before recording your audio/video to a PowerPoint presentation, make sure that your microphone and camera settings are properly configured.
To adjust your microphone and camera settings for optimal quality:
1. Press Windows + I keys to open Windows Settings.
2 . Go to System > Sound and under Input Settings select your microphone device and make sure the input volume is set to at least 80%
3. When done, go to Bluetooth & devices > Cameras > Connected Cameras and ensure that your camera is recognized by the system.
Step 2. Record Audio and Video to PowerPoint Slideshow.
Before you start recording audio/video in a presentation, it's important to know that audio cannot be recorded during animations and slide transitions. So, to avoid interruptions of your speech during the presentation, remember to leave a brief pause of 1-2 seconds in your narration at the beginning and end of each slide.
1. Open the PowerPoint presentation in which you want to record audio and video.
2. From the Slide Show tab (or the Recording tab), click the Record Slide Show button and choose either Record from Current slide or Record from Beginning, depending on which point you want to add audio/video.
3. The presentation will open in a recording window in full-screen mode.
4. Click the SETTINGS button at the top-right corner and ensure the correct microphone and camera devices are selected.
5. Use the Microsoft and Camera icons in the bottom right corner of the screen to turn off the input of the Microphone or Camera device if it is not needed during the presentation.
6. When you are ready, click the RECORD button to start recording your voice and/or camera input and present your slides.
7. Use the arrow keys to navigate through slides (forward only). Remember that you cannot go back or forward to a slide that already has a recording. This is to prevent accidentally recording over an existing recording.
8. If there are videos in your slides, click on them to start or stop the playback.
9. Use the Pen , Highlighter , or Laser icons from the bottom right corner to annotate your slides.
10. Look at the bottom left corner to find out the time counts for the current slide and the entire presentation.
11. If a slide already contains a recording, you will see a video preview or a speaker icon displayed at the bottom right corner.
- To re-record audio/video to a slide, click CLEAR and select Clear Recording on Current Slides .
- To delete all recordings, click CLEAR and select Clear Recordings on All Slides .
12. To pause or stop recording using the Pause and Stop buttons.
13. When finished Close the recording window (or right-click and select End Show ).
Step 3. Preview your Recordings on the Presentation.
After completing the recording, it is crucial to review the recordings of each slide before exporting the file as a PowerPoint show or video. To preview your recordings in your PowerPoint presentation:
1. Go to the Slide Show tab and click either From Beginning or From Current Slide to start playback.
2. Make sure each slide has a record and timing by changing the View to Slide Sorter .
3. On each slide where audio has been recorded you will see an audio icon along with the time/duration of the recording.
4. When you are satisfied with your recordings, you can move on to the next steps and export the entire presentation, including your audio and videos, either as a PowerPoint Show as a video file.
Step 4. Save the Presentation as a PowerPoint Show.
If you want to export your Presentation as a PowerPoint Show (.ppsx), which is useful if you want your presentation to be viewed even on computers that don't have the Microsoft PowerPoint app installed, do the following:
1. Click on File and select Save As .
2. Choose the location where you want to save the file and select PowerPoint Show (*.ppsx) format from the Save as type drop-down menu.
3. Then, click Save to save the file as a PowerPoint Show.
Step 5. Save Presentation to Video.
If you prefer to export your PowerPoint SlideShow as a video file, follow these steps:
1. Click on File and select Export .
2. Then Click the Create a Video option and select the preferred video quality from the first drop-down menu (e.g., Full HD 1080p ).
3. Then select the Use Recorded Timings and Narrations option in the next drop-down menu.
4. Then adjust the Seconds spent on each slide for the slides without recordings.
5. Finally, click the Create Video button and select the location to save the video.
6. Now wait for the PowerPoint to finish creating the video, as it may take some time depending on the performance of your computer.
7. Once the video is created, you can play it using any video player of your choice.
Method 2. Add External Audio and/or Video to a PowerPoint Presentation.
Instead of directly capturing audio and video within PowerPoint, you can insert an external audio or video file in your presentation.
Step 1. Adding an audio archive to a PowerPoint presentation.
To insert an audio file from your computer (such as pre-recorded narration, background music), to a slide:
1. Open your PowerPoint presentation and navigate to the specific slide where you want to add the audio.
2. Then, go to the Recording tab, click on the Audio button, and select the Audio on My PC option.
3. Then, choose the desired audio file from your device and click Insert .
4. The added audio file will appear as a small speaker icon in your presentation.
5. When you click on the speaker icon, the Playback tab will appear in the Ribbon. Move to the Playback tab and click the Play in Background option if you want the audio to play across all slides.
Step 2. Adding a Video file to a PowerPoint Presentation.
If you want to insert a video file from your PC, inside a Presentation.
1. Open the presentation and navigate to the specific slide where you want to add the audio.
2. Switch to the Recording tab and click on the Video button.
3. Then, select the video file that you want to add in the slide and click Insert .
4. Resize the video window as needed, and then customize the Playback settings from the Playback tab.
Step 3. Exporting or Saving the Presentation.
Once the audio and video files are inserted, you can export the presentation to a video file or save it as a PowerPoint show. To do that:
1. Select the Recording tab:
- Select Save as Show to save the file as a PowerPoint show, or…
- Export to Video to export the file as a video.

Here's Why Smart Home Apps Need an Activity Log
Samsung now sells 1tb microsd cards, foldable screens make way more sense for laptops than phones, quick links, using powerpoint’s screen recorder, customizing your recording.
If you need to record your screen to demonstrate a process as part of your PowerPoint presentation, you can use the built-in tools to do so. Here’s how to record your screen using PowerPoint.
PowerPoint comes with a built-in, no-nonsense screen recorder. There are a lot of things that PowerPoint’s screen recorder can’t do that more full-featured screen recording software can, but that’s the beauty of it—it’s great for a quick, no-fuss recording.
Related: How to Embed a YouTube Video in PowerPoint
First, open PowerPoint, head to the “Insert” tab, and then click “Screen Recording.”
PowerPoint will minimize, and the screen recording dock will appear at the top of your screen. Here’s where the “simplicity” of PowerPoint’s screen recording feature comes in—you only have five options. By default, PowerPoint will record audio and your cursor. Toggle these options to disable them if you want. When you’re ready to move on, click “Select Area.”
Your pointer will turn into a crosshair. Click and drag to select the area of your screen you want to record.
Next, click the “Record” button in the screen recorder dock.
A three-second countdown will begin. Once it reaches zero, your recording will begin. When you’ve finished recording everything, move your cursor back to the top of the screen where the dock was, and the dock will reappear. Click “Stop.”
Your screen recording will now appear in your PowerPoint slide.
Now that you’ve successfully embedded the recording in your presentation, you might want to adjust a few of the settings. There are a few things you can do here, including trimming the video, setting how the video plays during the presentation, or applying a style to the video’s frame.
Trimming Your Video
There may be a few seconds of your video that you’d like to remove. You can trim these parts out directly in PowerPoint. Right-click the video and select “Trim.”
The “Trim Video” window will appear. Here, click and drag the green and red bars to adjust the start and stop time, respectively. Once you’ve set this up, click “OK.”
Your video will now be trimmed.
Setting Video Playback Rules
You can tell PowerPoint how to play your video during the presentation. To do this, right-click the video and select “Start” from the menu.
A sub-menu will appear, presenting three different playback options:
- In Click Sequence: The video will play in the appropriate order you’ve set in terms of actionable sequences (such as animations).
- Automatically: The video will automatically play when it appears.
- When Clicked On: The video will play when you click on it.
Select the one that works best for you.
Applying Frame Styles
If you want to make your video more visually appealing, you can apply a frame to it. To do so, right-click the video and select “Style” from the menu.
A sub-menu will appear, presenting a large library of frames for your video. Hovering over each one will show a live preview of how the frame will look.
Select the one you like, and it will be applied to your video.

PowerPoint: Rehearsing and Recording Your Presentation
Lesson 32: rehearsing and recording your presentation.
/en/powerpoint/action-buttons/content/
Introduction
There are many things to keep in mind when preparing to give a presentation. How long will it last? What will you say? Fortunately, PowerPoint offers several tools that can help you rehearse your slide show. You can even record a copy with voiceover narration , allowing viewers to watch the presentation on their own.
Optional: Download our practice presentation .
Watch the video below to learn how to rehearse and record your presentation.
Rehearsing slide show timings
Rehearsing timings can be useful if you want to set up a presentation to play at a certain speed without having to click through the slides yourself. It also gives you the opportunity to practice your talking points. Using this feature, you can save timings for each slide and animation. PowerPoint will then play the presentation automatically using these timings.
Rehearsing is often one of the last steps in creating a polished presentation. If you've never presented a slide show, you may want to review our lesson on Presenting Your Slide Show to become familiar with the basics.
To rehearse timings:
- The timings will be saved. The next time you present, PowerPoint will use these timings to advance the slides automatically .
If you need more than one try to get the timings just right, the Recording toolbar can be used to take a break or start over on a slide. To pause the timer, click the Pause button. No actions taken while the timer is paused will be included in the timings. To re-record the timings on the current slide, click the Repeat button.
Recording your slide show
The Record Slide Show feature is similar to the Rehearse Timings feature, but it's a bit more comprehensive. If you have a microphone for your computer, you can record voiceover narration for the entire presentation. This is useful if you plan to use your slide show as a self-running presentation or video.
To record a slide show:
- Your presentation will appear in full-screen view. Perform your slide show. Make sure to speak clearly into the microphone if you're recording narration.
- When you reach the end of the show, PowerPoint will close the full-screen view.
To remove slide timings or narration:
If you change your mind about including slide timings or narration, you can easily remove one or both. You can clear them from the entire presentation or just the current slide .
To do this, simply go to the Slide Show tab, click the Record Slide Show drop-down arrow, hover over Clear , then choose the desired option from the menu.
- Open our practice presentation . If you already downloaded our practice presentation to follow along with the lesson, be sure to download a fresh copy.
- Record the slide show. If you have a microphone and want to practice recording narration, you can read the slides.
- When you're finished, play your slideshow. The slides should advance automatically at the pace you recorded them.

Record your screen in PowerPoint
You can record your computer screen and related audio, and then embed it in your PowerPoint slide—or you can save it as a separate file.
Open the slide that you want to put the screen recording on.
On the Insert tab of the ribbon, select Screen Recording .
Tip: PowerPoint automatically records the audio and the mouse pointer, so by default those options are selected on the control dock. To turn them off, deselect Audio and Record Pointer.
Select Record . Use Pause as needed and Stop when you're done.
Note: Unless you pin the Control Dock to the screen, it will slide up into the margin while you record. To make the unpinned Control Dock reappear, point the mouse cursor at the top of the screen.
Your video is added to the slide. Right-click the video frame, select the Start icon and pick how you want your video to start: In Click Sequence , Automatically , or When Clicked On .
You can change the look of the video by right-clicking the video frame, select the Style icon, and pick another shape.
Save your screen recording as a separate file
Right-click the video frame and select Save Media as .
In the Save Media as box, choose a folder, and in the File name box, type a name.
Select Save.
Trim your video
Right-click the video frame and select Trim .
To determine where you want to trim your video footage, in the Trim Video box, select Play .
When you reach the point where you want to make the cut, select Pause . Use the Next Frame and Previous Frame buttons to specify precise timing.
Do one or more of the following:
To trim the beginning of the clip, select the start point (shown in the image below as a green marker). When you see the two-headed arrow, drag the arrow to the desired starting position for the video.
To trim the end of the clip, click the end point (shown in the image above as a red marker). When you see the two-headed arrow, drag the arrow to the desired ending position for the video.
Select OK .

How to record a PowerPoint presentation with audio and video
PowerPoint is frequently the first thought that comes to mind when someone mentions a presentation. And it’s no surprise either, with the numerous features Office 365 puts behind it. Due to that, this blog will be dedicated to highlighting the way you can record presentations in PowerPoint (utilising both audio and visual input).
- Select “File” from ribbon
- Open “Options”
- Select “Customise ribbon”
- Ensure “Recording” is checked off the right panel list
- You will see three options
- Pick the one best suited to your presentation
- The clear options will remove narration and timing effects
- There will be a 3 second countdown after you start recording
- You may toggle microphone input, camera input and camera preview via the buttons in the bottom right corner
- End the recording with the “S” key or the square stop button
Initially we’ll be covering activating the recording tab, followed by using it to start recording your presentation. If the brief explanation wasn’t enough, we’ll be utilising a step-by-step guide with pictures later on. Some keep reading to follow along with us later.
Quick links:
How to activate the recording tab in PowerPoint
Recording a presentation in powerpoint.

How to Record a PowerPoint Presentation: Step-by-Step Guide for Professionals
Recording a PowerPoint presentation can be a game-changer for anyone looking to deliver polished and professional content. Whether we are educators, business professionals, or students, knowing how to record and narrate our slides efficiently can bring our presentations to a whole new level. Forget about the days of live presentations where a slip of the tongue or technical glitch could throw us off. Now, we can rehearse, record, and perfect our slides before ever presenting them.
The process is surprisingly straightforward with PowerPoint’s built-in features. Start by navigating to the “Record” tab where we can select options to record our screen, audio, and even video through a webcam. This allows us to create an engaging presentation that looks and sounds like we are right there in the room with our audience. Just imagine the flexibility and professionalism it brings, especially when we can embed annotations and gestures using the ink feature!
What makes it even better is the ability to edit and save the recording in various formats, including MP4 video files, ensuring compatibility across different platforms. Think about how convenient it is to send your polished presentation to remote teams or even upload it to your favorite online platform. This means our hard work reaches the audience exactly as intended, with all our points perfectly emphasized and no missed cues.

Crafting a Powerful PowerPoint Presentation
Creating a compelling PowerPoint presentation involves carefully balancing appealing visuals and dynamic audio. We focus on incorporating visuals with transitions and enhancing narration with seamless audio integration.
Incorporating Visuals and Transitions
Effective visuals can transform a good presentation into a memorable one. High-resolution images, crisp icons, and thoughtfully designed layouts play a significant role in capturing and maintaining the audience’s attention. For PowerPoint, resolution options like Full HD or Ultra HD can make a big difference, especially on large screens.
Slide transitions should be chosen carefully. While flashy animations might be tempting, they can sometimes distract rather than enhance. Focus on subtle transitions like Fade or Push from the Slide Show tab to keep the flow smooth. Adding custom animations to specific elements can also help highlight key points without overwhelming the viewer.
Incorporating charts, graphs, and infographics can break up text-heavy slides, making information easier to digest. Using the Record Slide Show option allows us to time these transitions perfectly with our narration, ensuring a synchronized and professional outcome.
Enhancing Narration and Audio
Good narration adds personality and clarity to a presentation. Before recording, we need to check our microphone settings to ensure clear audio. PowerPoint’s Record tab lets us add voiceovers to individual slides, making it easy to pause and adjust as needed.
Adding background music or sound effects can enhance the auditory experience. However, it’s crucial to balance this audio so it doesn’t overpower the narration. Background music should be set at a lower volume, while sound effects should be used sparingly for emphasis.
Ensuring that the narration and audio timings align with the visual transitions creates a seamless experience. After recording, we can preview the presentation, make adjustments, and ensure the final version is polished. This involves exporting the PowerPoint file to formats like MP4 or Full HD video, ready to be shared.
Effectively Utilizing PowerPoint Features
Leveraging PowerPoint’s robust tools for recording and editing ensures your presentation is polished and engaging. Let’s dive into efficient methods for streamlining your presentations with the built-in recording tools and explore advanced editing techniques for playback.
Streamlining Presentations with Recording Tools
Recording your PowerPoint presentations transforms them into dynamic videos that can be easily shared. First, ensure that you enable the Recording tab in the Ribbon to access essential features. Using a webcam can personalize your narrative and create a direct connection with your audience.
For a seamless recording experience, we recommend utilizing the Teleprompter View . It displays your notes without cluttering the screen. Press Record Slide Show and wait for the countdown before starting.
During the session, make full use of ink gestures for real-time annotations on slides. Pause and resume recordings to maintain a natural flow. Once done, click Stop Recording . Replaying and editing recordings is straightforward. Utilize the edit view to trim parts, adjust timings, and even re-record sections if necessary. Save your recording in MP4 format for universal compatibility.
Exploring Advanced Editing and Playback
After creating your recording, fine-tune it with advanced editing options. PowerPoint allows precise control over the playback. We can adjust slide timings, overlay additional audio narrations, and incorporate screen recordings .
Reset to Cameo inserts your video into a specific position on the slide, making the setup professional. Clean up any unwanted areas with the eraser tool and clear specific parts without affecting the entire recording.
Exporting your presentation as a video is simple. Under the File menu, choose Create a Video . Select the desired quality and save it. Ensure the file size suits your needs, balancing quality and accessibility. With these tools, you maximize the impact of your presentations, delivering content that is both informative and engaging.
Maximizing Engagement during PowerPoint Delivery
Making our PowerPoint presentations engaging is vital. By refining our presentation techniques, we capture attention and make the material more memorable.
Mastering Presentation Techniques
Using a laser pointer can effectively highlight key points. It helps direct the audience’s focus precisely where we need it.
Incorporating a webcam can add a personal touch, making our delivery feel more human and relatable. This is especially useful when presenting to remote audiences.
Engage with visual aids, such as highlighters and cameos , to emphasize important content. Highlighting can be done digitally on slides, adding layers of interaction.
We shouldn’t overlook the power of audio icons for narrations. Narrating slides, coupled with recorded timings, ensures the message is delivered as intended.
When it comes to resetting parts of the presentation, tools like the retake and delete options give us flexibility. Also, we can use the pause and stop buttons to manage our pacing.
Utilize presenter view for a comprehensive view of notes and upcoming slides, maintaining seamless delivery. This helps us know what’s next without losing track.
Subscriptions benefits and training courses from providers offer in-depth tutorials and expert tips to sharpen our skills. These benefits help us stay updated with the latest features and best practices.
Finally, tapping into communities and forums can provide additional insights from fellow presenters. We learn from shared experiences, thus improving our techniques.
Optimizing PowerPoint for Different Formats and Audiences
When preparing a PowerPoint presentation , it’s crucial to tailor it to the intended audience and output format. Let’s explore some key tips.
First, let’s talk about resolution . If projecting onto large screens, we should choose Full HD 1080p or even Ultra HD for crystal-clear visuals. This ensures our images and text remain sharp.
We can control video quality by exporting the presentation as a video file. PowerPoint supports MP4 format , which balances quality and file size effectively. If our audience is using different devices, this format will be widely compatible.
Useful Tabs and Tools
PowerPoint offers several tabs for a seamless recording experience:
- Record tab : Allows us to record our slideshow, including narration and laser pointer gestures.
- Slide Show tab : Useful for setting up Presenter View and Teleprompter View, ensuring we stay on track during the presentation.
Recording Narration
Including narration can enhance our presentation. We can utilize a webcam and web camera for recording narration to add a personal touch.
To get started:
- Click on the Record Slide Show option.
- Ensure our microphone and camera are enabled.
Editing and Saving
We’re bound to make mistakes. Luckily, PowerPoint lets us delete and edit specific sections of our recordings. After perfecting it, we can export the presentation in different formats or save it directly to OneDrive for easy sharing.
Subscriptions and Compatibility
For those of us using Microsoft 365 , some features offer added benefits, such as better integration with other Office apps and cloud storage. However, PowerPoint 2016 users can still access essential recording tools, though with fewer bells and whistles.
By customizing our presentation and recording settings, we can ensure it resonates with any audience and looks professional across all formats. Let’s always aim for precision and clarity to leave a lasting impression!

Presentations are a staple in the professional and academic world. They allow us to share our ideas, findings, and insights with others in a structured and engaging way. However, recording a presentation can be a daunting task, especially if you're new to it. This article will guide you through the process step-by-step, using tools like PowerPoint, Google Slides, and the best AI text-to-speech voice reader, Speechify.
Before you start recording, you'll need a few tools:
- Screen Recorder : This is software that captures what's happening on your screen. It's essential for recording your slide show and any live demonstrations during your presentation.
- Presentation Deck : This is the collection of slides that you'll be presenting. You can create this using software like PowerPoint or Google Slides.
- Speechify : This is an AI text-to-speech voice reader that can create high-quality voiceovers for your presentation.
- Webcam : If you want to record yourself presenting, you'll need a webcam. Most modern laptops come with one built-in.
- Microphone : To record audio, you'll need a microphone. Again, most modern laptops have one built-in, but you might want to consider a standalone microphone for better audio quality.
The first step in recording a presentation is choosing your software. The three most popular options are PowerPoint, Google Slides, and Zoom. Both are excellent choices, but they each have their pros and cons.
PowerPoint is a Microsoft product and is part of the Office suite. It's been around for a long time and is very feature-rich. No matter the version of Powerpoint, You can create complex PowerPoint Presentations presentations with a variety of transitions, animations, and multimedia elements. PowerPoint slides also have a built-in feature for recording presentations.
Google Slides , on the other hand, is a free, web-based tool. It's not as feature-rich as PowerPoint, but it's straightforward to use and great for collaboration. You can share your slide deck with others and work on it together in real-time.
Zoom is another excellent tool you can use to record a presentation. It's particularly useful if you're delivering a live presentation to an audience and want to record it for later use. Their screen capture and presentation recording features are easy to use and doesn't require any additional software. Plus, you can record both your presentation and yourself presenting, which can help to create a more engaging video.
Step 2: Recording Options
Once you've chosen your software and created your presentation, it's time to start thinking about how you're going to record it.
For recording audio, you have a couple of options. You can record narration live as you present, or you can create a voiceover using Speechify.
Use Speechify
Speechify is the leading AI text-to-speech app, with millions of downloads on Chrome, iOS, Android, and Mac. It can turn your text into a natural-sounding voice, making it perfect for creating voiceovers for your presentation. You can customize the speed, accent, and character of the voice to suit your needs. Here's how you can use Speechify to create voiceovers for your presentation:
- Input Your Script into Speechify : Once your script is ready, input it into Speechify. You can do this by copying and pasting your script into the Speechify app or by uploading a document with your script.
- Customize Your Voiceover : Speechify allows you to customize your voiceover to suit your needs. You can choose from a variety of voices, adjust the speed and pitch, and even add pauses for effect.
- Generate Your Voiceover : Once you're happy with your settings, click on the "Generate" button. Speechify will then turn your text into speech, creating a high-quality voiceover for your presentation.
- Add Your Voiceover to Your Presentation : The final step is to add your voiceover to your presentation. You can do this by importing the audio file into your presentation software and syncing it with your slides.
If you want to record yourself presenting, you'll need a webcam. Make sure your webcam is set up correctly and that you're in a well-lit area. You can record yourself in full screen or use a picture-in-picture format to keep the viewer’s attention on your slides.
To record your screen, you'll need a screen recorder. There are many free and paid screen recorders available for both Windows and Mac. These tools can capture your entire screen, a specific window, or a custom area. They can also record audio and webcam footage, making them perfect for recording presentations.
Now that you've got everything set up, it's time to start recording. Here are some tips to help you succeed:
- Practice : Before you hit the record button, practice your presentation a few times. This will help you feel more comfortable and ensure that your presentation flows smoothly.
- Clear Audio : Make sure your microphone is set up correctly and that there's no background noise. If you're using Speechify for voiceovers, ensure that the text is correctly inputted.
- Good Lighting : If you're recording yourself, make sure you're well-lit. This will make you more visible and create a more professional-looking video.
- Screen Settings : Check your screen settings before you start recording. Make sure you're recording the correct screen or window and that any notifications are turned off.
- Take Your Time : Don't rush through your presentation. Speak clearly and take your time with each slide. Remember, you can always edit the video later.
- Engage Your Audience : Use your voice and body language to engage your audience. Ask rhetorical questions, use gestures, and vary your tone and pace to keep your audience interested.
- Use Visuals : Visuals can help to illustrate your points and keep your audience engaged. Use images, graphs, and diagrams where appropriate.
- Keep It Simple : Don't overload your slides with information. Keep your slides simple and use them to support your speech, not replace it.
- Use Transitions : Transitions can help to guide your audience through your presentation. Use them to signal when you're moving on to a new point or topic.
- Interact with Your Slides : If you're recording your screen, you can use your mouse to highlight important points on your slides.
- Use Speechify : Speechify's high-quality AI voices can make your presentation more engaging and professional. You can even customize the voice to suit your presentation style.
Recording a presentation can seem like a daunting task, but with the right tools and a little practice, anyone can do it. Whether you're using PowerPoint or Google Slides, a screen recorder or a webcam, or creating voiceovers with Speechify, the key is to plan ahead, practice, and keep your audience in mind. With these tips, you'll be well on your way to creating engaging, high-quality presentations that you can share with the world.
Remember, the goal is not just to record a presentation but to create a video presentation that captures your audience's attention and communicates your message effectively. So, don't be afraid to experiment with different recording features, customization options, and presentation styles until you find what works best for you.
Whether you're recording a how-to video, a YouTube video, or a professional presentation, the most important thing is to be clear, engaging, and authentic. So, hit that record button and start sharing your ideas with the world!
You can use a screen recorder to capture your screen and a microphone to record your voice. Some screen recorders also have built-in webcam recording features, allowing you to record your screen, voice, and video all at once.
PowerPoint has a built-in feature that allows you to record your presentation as a video. Simply go to the "Slide Show" tab, click on "Record Slide Show", and then start recording. Once you're done, you can save your presentation as a video file.
The best way to record a presentation depends on your needs and resources. However, a combination of PowerPoint or Google Slides for creating your slide deck, a screen recorder for capturing your screen, and Speechify for creating high-quality voiceovers is a great place to start.

Material factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations include, without limitation, the following: Intel Corporation’s dominance of the microprocessor market and its aggressive business practices; Nvidia’s dominance in the graphics processing unit market and its aggressive business practices; the cyclical nature of the semiconductor industry; market conditions of the industries in which AMD products are sold; loss of a significant customer; competitive markets in which AMD’s products are sold; economic and market uncertainty; quarterly and seasonal sales patterns; AMD's ability to adequately protect its technology or other intellectual property; unfavorable currency exchange rate fluctuations; ability of third party manufacturers to manufacture AMD's products on a timely basis in sufficient quantities and using competitive technologies; availability of essential equipment, materials, substrates or manufacturing processes; ability to achieve expected manufacturing yields for AMD’s products; AMD's ability to introduce products on a timely basis with expected features and performance levels; AMD's ability to generate revenue from its semi-custom SoC products; potential security vulnerabilities; potential security incidents including IT outages, data loss, data breaches and cyberattacks; uncertainties involving the ordering and shipment of AMD’s products; AMD’s reliance on third-party intellectual property to design and introduce new products; AMD's reliance on third-party companies for design, manufacture and supply of motherboards, software, memory and other computer platform components; AMD's reliance on Microsoft and other software vendors' support to design and develop software to run on AMD’s products; AMD’s reliance on third-party distributors and add-in-board partners; impact of modification or interruption of AMD’s internal business processes and information systems; compatibility of AMD’s products with some or all industry-standard software and hardware; costs related to defective products; efficiency of AMD's supply chain; AMD's ability to rely on third party supply-chain logistics functions; AMD’s ability to effectively control sales of its products on the gray market; long-term impact of climate change on AMD’s business; impact of government actions and regulations such as export regulations, tariffs and trade protection measures; AMD’s ability to realize its deferred tax assets; potential tax liabilities; current and future claims and litigation; impact of environmental laws, conflict minerals related provisions and other laws or regulations; evolving expectations from governments, investors, customers and other stakeholders regarding corporate responsibility matters; issues related to the responsible use of AI; restrictions imposed by agreements governing AMD’s notes, the guarantees of Xilinx’s notes and the revolving credit agreement; impact of acquisitions, joint ventures and/or investments on AMD’s business and AMD’s ability to integrate acquired businesses; impact of any impairment of the combined company’s assets; political, legal and economic risks and natural disasters; future impairments of technology license purchases; AMD’s ability to attract and retain qualified personnel; and AMD’s stock price volatility.

(*) | In this earnings press release, in addition to GAAP financial results, AMD has provided non-GAAP financial measures including non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share. AMD uses a normalized tax rate in its computation of the non-GAAP income tax provision to provide better consistency across the reporting periods. For fiscal 2024, AMD uses a projected non-GAAP tax rate of 13%, which excludes the tax impact of pre-tax non-GAAP adjustments, reflecting currently available information. AMD also provided adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow as supplemental non-GAAP measures of its performance. These items are defined in the footnotes to the selected corporate data tables provided at the end of this earnings press release. AMD is providing these financial measures because it believes this non-GAAP presentation makes it easier for investors to compare its operating results for current and historical periods and also because AMD believes it assists investors in comparing AMD’s performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that it does not believe are indicative of its core operating performance and for the other reasons described in the footnotes to the selected data tables. The non-GAAP financial measures disclosed in this earnings press release should be viewed in addition to and not as a substitute for or superior to AMD’s reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP and should be read only in conjunction with AMD’s Consolidated Financial Statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures referenced are reconciled to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures in the data tables in this earnings press release. This earnings press release also contains forward-looking non-GAAP gross margin concerning AMD’s financial outlook, which is based on current expectations as of July 30, 2024 and assumptions and beliefs that involve numerous risks and uncertainties. Adjustments to arrive at the GAAP gross margin outlook typically include stock-based compensation, amortization of acquired intangible assets and acquisition-related and other costs. The timing and impact of such adjustments are dependent on future events that are typically uncertain or outside of AMD's control, therefore, a reconciliation to equivalent GAAP measures is not practicable at this time. AMD undertakes no intent or obligation to publicly update or revise its outlook statements as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required by law. |

The Company presents “Adjusted EBITDA” as a supplemental measure of its performance. Adjusted EBITDA for the Company is determined by adjusting GAAP net income (loss) for interest expense, other income (expense), net, income tax provision (benefit), equity income in investee, stock-based compensation, depreciation and amortization expense (including amortization of acquisition-related intangibles), inventory loss at contract manufacturer, and acquisition-related and other costs. The Company calculates and presents Adjusted EBITDA because management believes it is of importance to investors and lenders in relation to its overall capital structure and its ability to borrow additional funds. In addition, the Company presents Adjusted EBITDA because it believes this measure assists investors in comparing its performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that the Company does not believe are indicative of its core operating performance. The Company’s calculation of Adjusted EBITDA may or may not be consistent with the calculation of this measure by other companies in the same industry. Investors should not view Adjusted EBITDA as an alternative to the GAAP operating measure of income or GAAP liquidity measures of cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA does not take into account changes in certain assets and liabilities that can affect cash flows.

The Company also presents free cash flow as a supplemental Non-GAAP measure of its performance. Free cash flow is determined by adjusting GAAP net cash provided by operating activities for capital expenditures, and free cash flow margin % is free cash flow expressed as a percentage of the Company's net revenue. The Company calculates and communicates free cash flow in the financial earnings press release because management believes it is of importance to investors to understand the nature of these cash flows. The Company’s calculation of free cash flow may or may not be consistent with the calculation of this measure by other companies in the same industry. Investors should not view free cash flow as an alternative to GAAP liquidity measures of cash flows from operating activities.
