Screen sharing a PowerPoint presentation

There are three methods you can use to screen share a PowerPoint presentation in a Zoom meeting. If you have dual monitors, you can share a slide show while viewing the presenter's notes on another monitor. If you have a single monitor, you can also start the slide show in a window so you have access to other meeting features while sharing your presentation. 

If you have other participants presenting portions of the PowerPoint, you can give them slide control in Zoom, so that they can control the slideshow on their end, without needing to ask you to move the slides forward. Additionally, PowerPoint slides can be shared as a Virtual Background for a more immersive sharing experience. 

This article covers:

Dual monitors with slide show and presenter's views

Single-monitor setup with slide show view in a window, single-monitor setup with slide show in full screen.

Follow these steps if you are using multiple monitors and want to present your PowerPoint in one monitor, while viewing the presenter's notes in another monitor.

  • Open the PowerPoint file you want to present.
  • Start or join a Zoom meeting.

  • Select your primary monitor then click Share . If you are not sure which monitor is your primary, select the one that PowerPoint opens in.

  • Switch back to Powerpoint and click the Slide Show tab.

Follow these steps if you have a single monitor and want to share your PowerPoint presentation in slide show view, but have it contained in a window rather than in full screen. This is useful if you need to access meeting features, such as in-meeting chat or managing participants, while sharing your PowerPoint presentation.

  • Click the Slide Show tab and then select Set Up Slide Show .
  • Under Show type , select Browsed by an individual (window) and then click OK .

  • In Zoom, start or join a meeting .
  • Select the PowerPoint window and then click Share .

Note : Be sure you select the PowerPoint window, not the entire screen. Sharing the PowerPoint window only will allow you to use other features without interrupting the view of the presentation. 

  • Select your monitor then click Share .

Introduction

Before we dive into the specifics of recording a presentation on Zoom, let's make sure you have everything you need. First and foremost, you'll need to have the Zoom desktop client installed on your computer. You'll also need a microphone and webcam (most laptops have these built-in) so that you can be heard and seen by your audience. Finally, you'll need a PowerPoint presentation ready to go.

Once you have all of these pieces in place, you're ready to start the recording process.

Setting Up Your PowerPoint Presentation

Before you launch Zoom, it's a good idea to make sure your PowerPoint presentation is set up the way you want it. This includes things like the layout, font size, and any animations or transitions you have included.

To do this, open your PowerPoint presentation and click the "Slide Show" tab in the top menu. From here, you can choose the "Set Up Slide Show" option to adjust any settings you need. Make sure to select "Browsed by an individual (window)" as the "Show Type" so that you can see your presentation in a window on your desktop.

Launching Zoom and Starting a Meeting

Now it's time to launch Zoom and start a meeting. Once you have Zoom open, click the "New Meeting" button to get started. You'll be given the option to "Join with Video" or "Join with Audio Only." Make sure to click "Join with Video" so that your webcam is turned on and your audience can see you.

Sharing Your Screen and PowerPoint Presentation

Once you're in the meeting, it's time to share your screen and PowerPoint presentation with your audience. To do this, click the "Share Screen" button in the bottom menu. From the pop-up window, select the "Specific Window" option and choose your PowerPoint presentation from the list of open windows.

Starting the Recording

Now that your screen is being shared, it's time to start the recording. To do this, click the "Record" button in the bottom menu. You'll see a red dot appear next to the button to indicate that the recording is in progress.

Presenting Your PowerPoint

With the recording started, it's time to give your presentation. Use the arrow keys on your keyboard to advance through the slides, or use the mouse to click the arrows on the screen. Remember to speak clearly and engage with your audience through the use of eye contact and body language.

Stopping the Recording

When you're finished with your presentation, it's time to stop the recording. To do this, click the "Stop Record" button in the bottom menu. The recording will automatically save to your computer, and a notification will appear letting you know where it is saved.

Viewing the Recording

To view the recording, simply locate the file on your computer and double-click it to open it in your default media player. From here, you can watch the recording and see how you did. You can also share the recording with others by sending them the file or uploading it to a video sharing platform like YouTube.

Advanced Recording Options

If you want to customize your recording even further, Zoom has several advanced options that you can use. For example, you can choose to record only a portion of your screen, such as a specific window or application. You can also choose to record just audio, or even record separate audio and video tracks. To access these options, click the "Record" button and then select "Record Settings" from the menu.

Adding Captions to Your Recording

One useful feature of Zoom is the ability to add captions to your recording. This can be helpful for viewers who may have difficulty hearing or understanding your presentation. To add captions, click the "Record" button and then select "Add Captions" from the menu. You'll need to type out the captions as you speak, but this can be done after the recording has been made.

Editing Your Recording

If you want to make any edits to your recording, such as trimming out unnecessary footage or adding annotations, you'll need to use a video editing software. There are many options available, both free and paid, such as iMovie for Mac or Adobe Premiere for Windows. Simply import your recording into the software and make any necessary edits.

By following the steps outlined in this guide, you should now be able to successfully video record yourself presenting a PowerPoint on Zoom. With a little practice and some advanced planning, you can give professional-quality presentations that you can review and share with others. So go ahead and give it a try, and happy presenting!

Recording a video lecture of yourself with Zoom and PowerPoint slidedeck

There are two different ways to record a video lecture of yourself and your PowerPoint slidedeck using Zoom.

If you want to record your screen and PowerPoint without your video image (similar to an audio podcast, but with a visual component of your slides), follow these instructions .

Note: Before doing any recording, make sure to prepare your slidedeck to make room for the video image of yourself, so that your video image won't be overlaid on top of any text or images. Sometimes drawing a rectangular box on each slide helps to "save" a space for your video to go. 

  • Open the Zoom app and your PowerPoint file. Close all other files and applications.
  • In Zoom, click “New Meeting” (orange icon); make sure your microphone and camera are on.

  • Go to PowerPoint and launch your slideshow.
  • At the bottom Zoom toolbar, choose Record, then choose “Record on this Computer” from the menu that pops up. Your lecture is now recording. Note: if you don't see the Record button, you may need to click on the "More" button in the Zoom toolbar, and then choose the "Record on this Computer" option.
  • Start your lecture. Advance your slides with the right arrow key; return to a previous slide with the left arrow key.
  • When you are finished, click on the "Stop Recording" button in the bottom Zoom toolbar.  Note: if you don't see the Stop Recording button, you may need to click on the "More" button in the Zoom toolbar, and choose the "Stop Recording" option there.

How to record presentation in PowerPoint

If knowing how to record a PowerPoint presentation wasn’t necessary a decade ago, this isn’t how things stand today. The pandemic taught us a valuable lesson – if we don’t catch up with technology, we will fall short.

Fortunately, Microsoft’s app is the global leader in presentation software and provides you with all the required tools to create an excellent presentation you can show in front of your audience. But how to record a presentation on PowerPoint, and is it easy to do so?

Article overview: 1. What are the benefits of recording PowerPoint presentations? 2. How to record a PowerPoint presentation? 3. How to live stream a PowerPoint presentation? 4. Frequently asked questions

1. What are the benefits of recording PowerPoint presentations?

I am are pretty sure that if recording presentations weren’t helpful, PowerPoint wouldn’t offer it to its users. Well, we all know that’s not the case. Recording your PowerPoint slides can bring a ton of benefits. Let’s see which they are:

  • Save time  – regardless if you’re a lecturer or present in front of colleagues, having a video of your recording will save you many hours. Imagine speaking in front of your marketing team, but 2 members are on summer holidays. It’s fine. They’ll catch up later when they watch your PowerPoint recording.
  • Focus on the presentation  – usually, if you’re presenting in front of an audience, it’s typical to get asked many questions that you need to answer promptly. But that is a good reason to get distracted from your core information. Thus, it makes sense to record your presentation beforehand.
  • Practice before presenting – the best way to carry out a great presentation is to spend some time at home, focusing on key details. When you record your PowerPoint slides, you can find areas of improvement and work on them.

2. How to record a PowerPoint presentation?

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.

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.

Pro tip : 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.

Let’s see how to record a PowerPoint presentation with video and audio in just a few steps.

Step #1: Open your PowerPoint presentation

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.

Step #2: Prepare your video and audio devices

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.

Step #3: Select the slides you wish to record

PowerPoint gives you the option to record a presentation right from the beginning, or from a specifically selected slide.

  • Pick “ From Beginning ” (1) from the Record tab of the Ribbon if you wish to start from the first slide.
  • Pick “ From Current Slide ” (2) from the same tab in case you would like to start from a selected slide (which isn’t the first one).
  • Click the Record button (3) which is positioned in the top right corner, between the Comments  and Share buttons. It starts the recording from the slide you have currently selected.

The three ways to record a PowerPoint presentation

Step #4: Start the recording

Once you click on one of the options, you are ready to start narrating your PowerPoint presentation. You will see a countdown timer, after which you can start narrating slides.

Countdown Timer PowerPoint presentation recording

Step #5: Manage your PowerPoint recording

You have probably seen a couple of other options aside from the recording one. Let’s see which they are:

  • Timer with a grey/red light – if you are recording your narration, you will see a timer and a small circle with a red light that indicates you are recording. If you pause, the small circle indicator will become grey again and the timer will stop counting.
  • Refresh icon – right next to the timer there is a refresh-like icon but it serves a different purpose – to re-take the recording. You have the option to record again the current slide or all slides.
  • Start/Stop button  – the big red button serves as a start/stop button for your recordings. Only stop the recording when you want to move on to the next slide.
  • Pause button – if you would like to stop the slide recording, in order to drink some water or read your speaker notes, you can use the Pause button, and then resume the recording. Bear in mind you cannot pause and move to the next slide. You have to stop the recording, to indicate you have finished with the current slide.
  • Camera button  – clicking the camera button will work as a toggle on/off.
  • Microphone Button – clicking the microphone button will work as a toggle on/off.
  • Ellipsis – this is the place where you can select camera and microphone settings, as well as erase recordings from the current slide or all slides.

Revising PowerPoint recording option - start, stop, pause, camera, microphone, and export

Step #6: Export your PowerPoint video recording

The last button from the menu is the Export setting. You can export your narration as an mp4 file in Full HD size by default. However, you can customize your export and get your narration in 4 sizes – 480p, 720p (HD), 1080p (Full HD – standard), and 4K. We don’t recommend Ultra HD exports.

Pro Tip : Exporting 4K PowerPoint presentation recordings doesn’t necessarily mean you will get better quality (unless you have 4K resources within your presentation) but it does guarantee a significantly larger file size – up to 4 times more than on standard Full HD recordings.

3. How to live stream a PowerPoint presentation?

If you have already honed your skills and would like to stream your PowerPoint slides directly to your audience, there are many ways to do so. We are going to cover two of them.

3.1. How to stream a PowerPoint presentation from OneDrive?

Microsoft has invested a lot of resources to make OneDrive a powerful cloud service, and so far they have been quite successful. Let’s see how to record a PowerPoint presentation in front of live audiences.

Step 1 – save your PowerPoint presentation in OneDrive.

Step 2 – open your PowerPoint slides from PowerPoint online.

Step 3 – go to Present Live  from the Slideshow Ribbon tab.

Step 4 – share a  live link with your audience.

3.2. Stream your PowerPoint presentation in Zoom

How to Present PowerPoint in Zoom

Zoom is one of the most popular conference call apps which has plenty of tools, including live streaming presentations. Since PowerPoint is the leading presentation program in the world, Zoom developers have created some amazing things, like PowerPoint presentation recording with a web camera on a transparent background. If you’re interested, you can check our guide on how to record a Zoom presentation .

Does PowerPoint have a screen recording?

PowerPoint has a screen recording window and you can select the area you would like to be recorded. Go to Record  (from the Ribbon), then select Screen Recording , choose the area and start recording.

Can I view speaker notes while recording narration?

You are able to access your speaker notes if you have created them beforehand. To insert speaker notes, you have to go to View -> Notes Page  and you will have a text box that you can utilize for speaker notes.

What format does PowerPoint use for video?

PowerPoint records videos in mp4 format. The default resolution is 1080p (Full HD).

Recording your PowerPoint presentations can make the difference between a successful and smooth speech and a bad narration. Being able to record each slide means you can get the best narration possible for your whole presentation.

And if you would like to stream your presentation live, there are more than enough options to do so – both via the online version of PowerPoint or via third-party apps like Zoom.

Introduction

Recording a presentation on Zoom is a valuable tool for various purposes, whether you want to capture important information for future reference, share a lecture with others who couldn’t attend, or create online courses. Zoom, a popular video conferencing platform, offers a user-friendly interface and robust recording features that make it easy to record and save your presentations.

In this article, we will guide you through the step-by-step process of recording a presentation on Zoom. From downloading and installing the Zoom software to accessing and sharing the recorded presentation, we’ve got you covered. So, let’s get started!

Before we delve into the details, it’s important to note that recording a Zoom presentation requires the host or someone with recording permission. If you’re not the host, make sure to communicate with the host and obtain the necessary permissions to record the presentation.

Recording your presentation on Zoom offers numerous benefits. It allows you to revisit the presentation at any time, ensuring that you don’t miss any important details. You can also share the recording with others who were unable to attend the live presentation, providing them with an opportunity to catch up on the information.

Additionally, recording presentations on Zoom can serve as a valuable resource for creating online courses or training materials. By utilizing recorded presentations, you can create educational content that can be accessed by a wider audience, increasing your reach and impact.

Now, let’s move on to the steps involved in recording a presentation on Zoom. From downloading and installing Zoom to adjusting the recording settings and accessing the recorded presentation, we will guide you through the process, ensuring that you have all the information you need to make the most of this powerful feature.

Step 1: Download and install Zoom

The first step in recording a presentation on Zoom is to download and install the Zoom software on your computer. Follow these simple steps to get started:

  • Visit the official Zoom website at zoom.us in your web browser.
  • Click on the “Sign Up, It’s Free” button to create a new Zoom account. Alternatively, if you already have an account, you can sign in using your existing credentials.
  • Once logged in, navigate to the “Resources” menu at the top of the page and select “ Download Zoom Client” from the dropdown menu.
  • On the download page, click on the “Download” button under the “Zoom Client for Meetings” section.
  • The Zoom application setup file will now begin downloading. Once the download is complete, locate the file in your computer’s downloads folder and double-click on it to start the installation process.
  • Follow the on-screen instructions to install Zoom on your computer. Make sure to read and accept the terms of service when prompted.
  • After the installation is complete, launch the Zoom application and sign in using your Zoom account credentials.

Once you have successfully downloaded and installed Zoom, you are ready to move on to the next step of scheduling a meeting for your presentation. Zoom provides a seamless and user-friendly interface, making it easy to navigate and access the various features that will enhance your presentation experience.

It’s worth mentioning that Zoom is available for both Windows and Mac operating systems, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of computers. Additionally, Zoom offers mobile applications for iOS and Android devices, allowing you to access and record presentations on-the-go.

By downloading and installing Zoom, you gain access to a powerful platform that offers not only presentation recording capabilities but also a host of other collaborative features. Whether you’re recording a business presentation or an educational lecture, Zoom provides a reliable and user-friendly environment for capturing and sharing your valuable content.

Step 2: Schedule a meeting on Zoom

After downloading and installing Zoom, the next step in recording a presentation is to schedule a meeting on the Zoom platform . Scheduling a meeting allows you to set a specific date and time for your presentation and invite participants to join. Follow these steps to schedule a meeting on Zoom:

  • Open the Zoom application on your computer and sign in using your Zoom account credentials.
  • Click on the “Schedule” button located at the bottom right corner of the application window.
  • In the “Schedule Meeting” window, enter a meaningful topic for your presentation in the “Topic” field.
  • Set the date and time for your presentation by selecting the desired options in the “When” section.
  • Specify the meeting duration in the “Duration” field. If you’re unsure how long your presentation will take, it’s better to allocate some extra time to account for any unexpected delays.
  • Customize the meeting settings according to your needs. You can enable or disable features such as video, audio, screen sharing, and recording. For recording a presentation, make sure to tick the box next to “Record the meeting automatically on the local computer.”
  • Invite participants to join your presentation by entering their email addresses in the “Invite Participants” section. You can also copy the meeting invitation link and share it with participants via email or other communication channels.
  • Review the meeting details and settings to ensure everything is correct. Once you’re satisfied, click on the “Schedule” button to finalize and schedule the meeting.

By scheduling a meeting on Zoom, you establish a dedicated session for your presentation and provide a structured environment for all participants. Scheduling also enables you to send invitations to participants and ensure that everyone is aware of the date and time of the presentation.

Moreover, the ability to customize meeting settings allows you to tailor the presentation experience to your specific requirements. For example, you can choose to enable or disable participants’ video and audio, control screen sharing, and even enforce meeting password protection for added security.

Once you have successfully scheduled a meeting on Zoom, you’re one step closer to recording your presentation. In the next section, we will explore how to adjust the recording settings to ensure that your presentation is captured with the desired settings and quality.

Step 3: Adjust the recording settings

Before you start recording your presentation on Zoom, it’s essential to adjust the recording settings to ensure that you capture the desired aspects of your presentation. Zoom offers several recording options and settings that can be customized according to your preferences. Follow these steps to adjust the recording settings:

  • If you haven’t already done so, join the scheduled meeting for your presentation by clicking on the “Meetings” tab and selecting the appropriate meeting.
  • Once you’re in the meeting room, navigate to the bottom toolbar and click on the “Record” button.
  • A menu will appear with different recording options:
  • Record on this Computer: This option allows you to record the meeting locally on your computer.
  • Record to the Cloud: This option enables you to save the recording directly to the cloud storage provided by Zoom.
  • Choose the appropriate recording option based on your needs and preferences. If you have sufficient storage space on your computer and want to have the recording readily available, select “Record on this Computer.”
