How do I record a PowerPoint presentation as a video? 

Powerpoint is capable of recording a complete presentation as a video. This will include your audio for each slide, slide animations and transitions, and any slide markups or annotation. 

Recording on PC

NOTE: Be sure to select your version of PowerPoint for the correct instructions.

Share your recording

If your recording is part of a course requirement, then the course instructor may determine the method of sharing or submission. 

  • GLOW > Upload Media (via Assignment, Discussion, etc.)  
  • Google Drive (share the file with specific people or create a shareable link)

NOTE: For video recordings, .mp4 is recommended over .mov for it’s compressed file size and broader use across applications and platforms.
