Recording your presentation can be a very powerful move, as you don’t want to embarrass yourself in front of your audience. Instead of relying on your “inner feelings”, you can check how you sound, how you look, what gestures you make, and how well you play with words and details.<\/p>\n

For this guide, we will use some of the most popular online tools on the market (Panopto and Loom) and some totally free options for Windows and Mac computers.<\/p>\n

1. Why do people record their presentations?<\/h2>\n

There is a reason why people record their presentations. Unfortunately, you don’t know how your voice will sound or articulate when you are presenting. In such situations, it will be best to record your presentation to see if there is something you need to change before doing it live. Also, recording your presentations is a very good way to remember what you are about to say. But let’s see the main use cases when recording your Google Slides presentation will make great sense:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Practice your presentation skills<\/strong>\u00a0– you can’t hear yourself while talking. That is why recording your voice might be a good indicator of how you present. Is your tone of voice smooth? Do you need to raise it? Are you mumbling or “like”-ing? Recordings can help you identify problems in advance.<\/li>\n
  2. Save valuable time <\/strong>– instead of recording each lecture, you can save your efforts once, and later sent them.<\/li>\n
  3. When you have stage fright <\/strong>– not everyone has the natural confidence of Elon Musk. If you are a shy person who gets terrified when speaking in front of huge audiences, recording your presentation is a great move.<\/li>\n
  4. Avoid distractions\u00a0<\/strong>– during live presentations, interruptions are more common which can affect your flow. A recording of your presentation at home can later be sent as a follow-up.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
