If you’re using a recent version of PowerPoint for Windows, recording is a piece of cake.
Takeaways:
-
Your camera will default to the lower right-hand corner of your screen. To move its position, you’ll need to move edit slide individually (ugh).
-
Be sure to pause speaking as you transition from one slide to the next: PowerPoint won’t record narration during transitions
-
You can re-record individual slides
-
Your audience will be viewing your slides on home computers or mobile devices with relatively small screens: don’t overload your slides
-
Remember that your audience will be able to pause and replay sections of your presentation
