Recording your PowerPoint presentation is a great way to create engaging learning resources for students. Whether you\u2019re preparing asynchronous lessons, flipped classroom content, or revision materials, PowerPoint has built-in recording tools that make it easy to record, annotate, preview, and export a video of your presentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A step-by-step guide to recording your presentation. <\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

You will need to use the PowerPoint desktop app to record your presentation. Before recording, ensure your PowerPoint slides are clear and uncluttered, using a large, readable font. Check that any visuals are big enough to see clearly, and confirm that animations and transitions are added and working as intended.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    From the recording interface at the top of the window, toggle on Camera<\/strong> and Microphone<\/strong>. From the ellipsis (…<\/strong>) more options button, you can select the microphone and camera you would like to use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    If you have added “Notes” to your slides, you can use the Teleprompter<\/strong> view, which scrolls through the notes at a chosen speed, making it easier for you to read while you present. To turn this feature on, select the Views<\/strong> drop-down menu at the bottom of the window and select Teleprompter<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    You can also access and utilise tools including a “Laser pen”, “Pen” and “Highlighter” to annotate or draw attention to content on slides during the presentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    When you are ready, select the Start Recording<\/strong> button at the top of the window. It will count down from 3, then start recording, and you can begin your presentation. Once you have finished, select the Stop Recording<\/strong> button, and you can then preview the recording. If you want to do it again, you can select the Retake<\/strong> button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
