    2. How to record a PowerPoint presentation?<\/h2>\n

    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.<\/strong><\/p>\n

    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.<\/p>\n

    Pro tip<\/strong>: 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.<\/p>\n

    Let’s see how to record a PowerPoint presentation with video and audio in just a few steps.<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    Step #1: Open your PowerPoint presentation<\/h4>\n

    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.<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    Step #2: Prepare your video and audio devices<\/h4>\n

    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.<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    Step #3: Select the slides you wish to record<\/h4>\n

    PowerPoint gives you the option to record a presentation right from the beginning, or from a specifically selected slide.<\/p>\n
