how to convert presentation to video

Turn your presentation into a video

When you make a recording of a presentation, all its elements (narration, animation, pointer movements, timings, and so on) are saved in the presentation itself. In essence, the presentation becomes a video that your audience can watch in PowerPoint.

So you have two options for turning your presentation into a video that's ready to view:

Save/export your presentation to a video file format (.mp4 or .wmv).

Save your presentation as a PowerPoint Show (.ppsx) file. (A PowerPoint Show appears full-screen in Slide Show, ready to view immediately.)

Save as a video file

After you've created your slides and recorded any timing and narrations and laser pointer gestures that you want to include, you're ready to create a video file.

On the File menu, select Save to ensure all your recent work has been saved in PowerPoint presentation format (.pptx).

Click File > Export > Create a Video . (Or, on the Recording tab of the ribbon, click Export to Video .)

In the first drop-down box under the Create a Video heading, select the video quality you want, which pertains to the resolution of the finished video. The higher the video quality, the larger the file size. (You may want to test them to determine which one meets your needs.)

* The Ultra HD (4K) option is only available if you're using Windows 10 or later.

The second drop-down box under the Create a Video heading tells whether your presentation includes narration and timings. (You may switch this setting if you like.)

If you haven't recorded timed narration, by default the value is Don't Use Recorded Timings and Narrations .

The default time spent on each slide is 5 seconds. You can change that timing in the Seconds to spend on each slide box. To the right of the box, click the up arrow to increase the duration, or click the down arrow to decrease the duration.

If you have recorded a timed narration, by default the value is Use Recorded Timings and Narrations .

Click Create Video .

In the File name box, enter a file name for the video, browse for the folder that will contain this file, and then click Save .

In the Save as type box, choose either MPEG-4 Video or Windows Media Video .

You can track the progress of the video creation by looking at the status bar at the bottom of your screen. The video creation process can take up to several hours depending on the length of the video and the complexity of the presentation.

Tip:    For a long video, you can set it up to be created overnight. That way, it’ll be ready for you the following morning.

To play your newly-created video, go to the designated folder location, and then double-click the file.

Save as a PowerPoint Show

When someone opens a PowerPoint Show file, it appears full-screen in Slide Show, rather than in edit mode. The viewer begins watching the presentation immediately.

On the File menu, select Save As .

Choose the folder location where you want to store your PowerPoint Show file.

In the Save as type box, choose PowerPoint Show (*.ppsx) .

Select Save .

Why turn your presentation into a video?

When you want to give a high-fidelity version of your presentation to colleagues or customers (either as an e-mail attachment, published to the web, on a CD or DVD), save it and let it play as a video.

You can save your presentation as either an MPEG-4 video file (.mp4) or a .wmv file. Both formats are widely supported and can be streamed over the internet.

Some tips to remember when recording your presentation as a video:

You can record and time voice narration and laser pointer movements in your video.

You can control the size of the multimedia file and the quality of your video.

You can include animations and transitions in your movie.

Viewers do not need to have PowerPoint installed on their computers to watch it.

If your presentation contains an embedded video, the video will play correctly without your needing to control it.

Depending on the content of your presentation, creating a video may take some time. Lengthy presentations and presentations with animations, transitions, and media content will likely take longer to create. Fortunately, you can continue to use PowerPoint while the video is being created

What parts of a presentation won't be included in a video?

The following items won't be included in a video that you create using PowerPoint:

Media inserted in previous versions of PowerPoint. To include these, you can convert or upgrade the media object.

For example, if you inserted the media using PowerPoint 2007, it will be linked and it will play in the presentation.  However, when you export the file as a video, the linked media will be dropped.  You can convert the file to the new file format (click the File tab, and under Info , click Convert ), or you can right-click the media object and then click to upgrade; it will embed the file and export it correctly.

QuickTime media (unless you have a third-party QuickTime codec named ffdShow installed and you have optimized for compatibility)

OLE/ActiveX controls

What to do with your video after creating it

After you create a video, you can share it with others by using the following methods:

Email your presentation to others

Save to a file share or other location

Upload it to your organization's Microsoft Stream video-sharing site , as described in the next section, "Save to a video-sharing site."

Save to the Microsoft video-sharing site

After you've created the video file, you can upload it to a video-sharing site. Microsoft Stream is an enterprise video service where people in an organization can upload, view, and share videos. Microsoft 365 business or education subscribers have access to this service from within PowerPoint for Microsoft 365. 

Select File > Export , and then select Publish to Microsoft Stream .

Type a title and a description for the video.

Set other options, including whether you want others in your organization to have permission to see the video:

Select the Publish button.

The upload process can take several minutes, depending on the length of the video. A status bar at the bottom of the PowerPoint window tracks the progress, and PowerPoint shows a message when the upload is finished:

Click the message to go directly to the video playback page on Microsoft Stream.

For more information about this service, begin reading with What is Microsoft Stream? It includes information about Office 365 Video vs. Microsoft Stream.

1 The Ultra HD (4K) option is only available if you're using Windows 10 or later. 2 In PowerPoint 2016, the Ultra HD (4K) option isn't available in the Volume License edition.

When someone opens a PowerPoint Show file, it appears full-screen in Slide Show, rather than in edit mode. The viewer begins watching the presentation immediately.

How To Convert a PowerPoint Presentation to a HD Video in 3 Steps

There are many reasons why you may consider converting a PowerPoint presentation to a High-Definition video ; for example if you want to share a presentation online through YouTube or Vimeo, create a self-running presentation or save the slide show video to a DVD.

In this article we will guide you on how to convert a PowerPoint presentations to a High Definition video (as an MP4 video file,Windows Media Video .wmv file or QuickTime Video File .mov) using Microsoft PowerPoint.

PowerPoint lets you save presentations as videos directly from the File > Save As dialog box; however if you need to choose the output video quality while saving the presentation then it is recommended to use the File > Export > Create a Video option.

High Definition (HD) or high-quality presentation uses a higher resolution (1280×720 or 1920×1080) to save the video information. It can improve the overall experience while watching a presentation online or playing a PowerPoint slideshow in a kiosk. It would be the preferred format if you plan to upload your video presentation to YouTube or Vimeo, and have higher quality. The main drawback is that the presentation video file size will be bigger and more bandwidth may be required.

Why You Should Convert a PowerPoint to a Video Format?

Converting a PowerPoint to a video format can have several advantages. From making intuitive videos to engaging your audience to address complex topics in just a few minutes.

Create a Video Slideshow

You can use the converted video file to create a video slideshow for display at an event or edit the content of the video to generate a video presentation.

Create Presentations and Tutorials

PowerPoint enables users to export their videos with voice-over narration and animations. This can help create extensive presentations for an audience

Use Professional Editing Software to Create Engaging Videos

Adding a voice-over, additional graphics, and some footage can help create a professional-looking presentation by using a video editing application. Similar to how you use Instagram tools to convert images into a stunning video, some famous video editing apps that can help you make the most out of your converted PowerPoint file to a video format include Adobe Premiere Pro, Camtasia Studio, iMovie, Final Cut Pro, etc. If you are a Windows user, you can look into alternatives to Final Cut Pro like Lightworks, Movavi Video Editor, and Shotcut.

Create a Video Instead of Using PowerPoint

You can convert PowerPoint to video by simply letting your slides play out, making the presentation easy to play for end users without the need to have PowerPoint installed. This approach can also be helpful if you intend to present your slides using a video player instead of PowerPoint, as the latter might not be available everywhere, whereas video players often come with all types of desktop and mobile operating systems.

Upload a Video Online

Many presenters also like to upload their presentations online for an audience. A teacher might be interested in making his/her presentation available for students, or an industry expert might wish to share a concept with others in the industry by uploading a video to a YouTube channel. Either way, converting your PowerPoint to a video can help make the content easily shareable via video streaming platforms like YouTube and Vimeo. Such a video can also be shared privately via file-sharing apps like Box, Dropbox, OneDrive, Google Drive, etc.

How To Convert PowerPoint to Video (Windows)

Step 1 – go to file > export.

The first step to save a PowerPoint presentation as a HD video go to File -> Export and then click Create a Video button.

Step 2 – Choose Video Resolution

Now, select a resolution to export your video. Other than the Standard (825×480) resolution, the high-definition resolution options include HD (Medium 1280×720), Full HD (Large 1920×1080), or Ultra HD 4K (Largest file size 1920×1080). If you are using an older version of PowerPoint, you might have limited options to select between HD resolutions, since versions older than PowerPoint 2013 only supported HD videos (1280×720).

Optional Step: Save Narrations, Laser Pointer Gestures & Recorded Timings in the Video Exported from PowerPoint

Aside from saving the PowerPoint presentation as an HD video, you can also save a video file that incorporates all the recorded timings during a rehearsal, narrations, and even laser pointer gestures.

In case you have recorded narrations for your slides, you can use them or select Record a Video option to instantly start narrating your slides. The Preview Timings and Narrations option in the same drop-down menu does what it says, it enables you to check and ensure that your narrations are correctly timed with your slides, so you can make necessary edits before finalizing your video.

Optional Step: Select Slide Duration

Choose the default time spent on each slide (in seconds) and whether to save the narrations, timings, and gestures. By default, 5.00 seconds are spent on each slide unless you have a different timing recorded for the presentation slideshow.

Step 3 – Select Video Format and Create a Video Presentation

Click Create Video button and choose the destination folder and output file name. For end users wondering how to convert ppt to MP4, this is the step where you can select MP4 as your output format. PowerPoint supports saving slide decks to MP4 or WMV video formats. Once you confirm, wait a few seconds in order for the file is being saved on your hard disk. Presentations with a lot of slides may require a longer wait time.

Something good about saving presentations as a video file is that all animations, transitions, and media are preserved.

How to Convert PowerPoint to Video (Mac)

If you’re wondering how to make a PowerPoint into a video on Mac, the steps are quite similar to how you would export PowerPoint to video on a PC, with a few minor differences.

Step 1 – Go to File > Export

To convert PowerPoint to video on Mac, go to File -> Export.

Step 2 – Choose Video Format

If you have been wondering how to save PowerPoint as MP4 on Mac, this is the step where you can pick a video file format to save your presentation as a video, including MP4 and MOV.

The difference between the PC and Mac during this step is the difference in the availability of video conversion options. The PC version, along with MP4, allows saving a video in the Windows Media Video (WMV) format, unlike Mac, which offers QuickTime video format (MOV) instead.

Step 3 – Select Video Resolution and Create Video

The new version of PowerPoint for Mac allows saving a presentation in HD (Medium 1280×720), Full HD (1920×1080), or Ultra HD 4K (1920×1080) format. The higher the resolution, the higher the file format, so make sure you have enough disk space to save a very heavy file, especially if you opt for Ultra HD 4K resolution.

Save Narrations, Laser Pointer Gestures & Recorded Timings (Optional)

To save narrations, recorded timings, and laser point gestures, select the Use Recorded Timings and Narrations option.

Select Slide Duration (Optional)

To precisely time how long each slide is presented in the video, select the time duration. The default duration is 5.00 seconds, unless you have specified time for each slide separately in the presentation.

Select Export to create your video. Depending on the resolution you have selected, it might take several minutes before the video is converted. Higher resolutions take more time to conversion.

Saving videos from PowerPoint can help you at the time you need to share a presentation slideshow online (for example, uploading it via YouTube or Vimeo, or any other online video platform ), but you can also use this technique to prepare a PowerPoint presentation for a kiosk, make interactive PowerPoint presentations or create a self-running presentation. PowerPoint presentations saved as videos can also be easily run from mobile devices without the need for PowerPoint to be installed on the device. If you wish to save your PowerPoint to video in a format easily accessible, you can opt for PowerPoint save as MP4 instead of using WMV or MOV file formats that are not supported by all types of video players.

Can’t believe no one has commended you for this helpful tutorial! We want to mount several TVs in the lobby and exam rooms of our veterinary hospital to run informational presentations for our clients about pet care, our services, and helpful products. Recording a PowerPoint as a video and then putting it on a USB thumb drive to connect to the TV seems like it will be an effective, inexpensive way to get that accomplished. Thank you so much!

I second the above comment. Thank You

how to present a power point presentation on a smart tv..and having it loop over to continuous display..keep running.

This was very helpful. I had no clue that this could be done. I dedicated a PC to running the Power Point presentation for our lobby. Having it run on the TV via USB will free up that resource for us.

I haven’t dug into it yet, but is there a way to make it loop?

I keep getting this audio data not supported. Is there anyway to remove this?

How to Save PowerPoint as Video on Windows

After you create a presentation, convert your slides into attention-grabbing videos. The steps below show how to turn a PowerPoint file into a video. The result is a file that incorporates animation, narration, and other custom content included in the original PPT or PPTX file.

Follow these instructions to make a video from a PPT or PPTX file in PowerPoint on Windows operating systems:

Launch PowerPoint and open the presentation file you want to turn into a video. If that file is open, ensure that the latest version is saved by selecting File > Save or by selecting Save on the Quick Access Toolbar.

Select File > Export .

If you use PowerPoint 2010, select Save & Send .

Select Create a Video .

Choose the video quality you want to use for your video slideshow. A high-quality screen resolution results in a larger file size. A low-quality output results in a smaller file.

Specify whether or not to include recorded timings and narrations in the video. If the presentation contains timings or narrations, select Record Timings and Narrations . These narrations can include a thumbnail image of yourself, recorded on your webcam.

To specify the amount of time that each slide displays, enter the time in the Seconds spent on each slide text box.

After you make your choices, select Create Video .

In the Save As dialog box, choose a location to save your new video file and enter a filename.

Select the Save as type drop-down arrow and choose either MPEG-4 Video ( MP4 ) or Windows Media Video ( WMV ). Select Save to start the video creation process.

A pop-out window appears that contains multiple options. In the File Format drop-down menu, select either MP4 or MOV .

Choose whether or not to include recorded timings and narrations in the video. If available, select the Use Recorded Timings and Narrations check box to enable this content in your video.

How to save or convert a powerpoint presentation to a video.

Most people know that you can create PowerPoint presentations with pictures, music, images, web content, and text, but one little known trick is the ability to save PowerPoint presentations as videos.

PowerPoint presentations have been a long time favorite for use in business and academic presentations all over the world. They are highly versatile and offer a wide variety of features that you can use to enhance them.

In order to save your PowerPoint as a video you will first need to create a presentation or download the sample  we used for this tutorial.  Once you have the document open, you will need to save it as a video.  Begin by pressing “File.”

Instead of following the logical train of thought and opening the “Save” section, you will need to click on “Export,” then click on “Create a video.”

Once you do this, you will see the “Create a Video” option.  This will offer a few options in the form of two drop-down menus and a time value box.

The first drop-down box is where you will choose the quality of your exported video.  These three options will also determine the size of your exported video file.  For the purposes of this example, we will choose the second option to reduce the size of the video without compromising too much video quality.

The second drop-down menu allows you to include or exclude any timings or narrations that you inserted on your PowerPoint presentation.  Since the sample document has no timings or narrations, we will leave this as is.  The “Use Recorded Timings and Narrations” will be unavailable if you don’t have any of them in your presentation.

The time value box is where you can edit the amount of time that your slides will appear in the video.  The default time is set at 5 seconds.  For this tutorial, we will set it to 3 seconds.  Lastly, you need to click on the “Create Video” button.

You will now be taken to the “Save” dialog box.  Browse to the location where you want to save the file and give it a name then press “Save.”

While the video is being created, you will see the small progress bar at the bottom of your PowerPoint window.  Wait till this is done and then go to your video.

Now you can double-click your video file and it will automatically play with your video player. Remember that the more slides you have and the more time you allot to each slide, the more space the video will take up in the end. This handy export tool is great for automating presentations or for uploading them as videos to online video sharing services like Facebook or YouTube.

Powerpoints!

That very word can make you yawn and fall asleep! 

Aren’t we all guilty of dozing off during a boring PowerPoint?

But worry not, because you’re definitely not alone in feeling this way!

To make PowerPoint less boring, we have tried all sorts of things, from embedding videos in powerpoints to creating animated presentations .

In short, anything and everything to make those wretched presentations better!

Whatever is said and done, we MUST accept the fact that videos are WAYYYY better than PowerPoint. 

With that in mind, we have created a solution to help improve presentations and make them more impactful.

And that is to… **Drumroll**

Convert it into a video!

In this article, we will explore how to convert PPT to video in two sections:

Let’s begin!

1. How to convert PPT to Video Online 

For this, we will use Animaker’s new tool, PPT to Video Converter ! 

If you prefer to watch a video tutorial on converting a PPT into a video, please watch the video below. 

Or if you prefer a textual guide, read on!

Converting a PPT to Video using Animaker involves just three steps.

Step 1: Uploading a PPT

Step 2: converting ppt into video, step 3: download your video.

Let’s see how to convert PPT to video using this tool.

First, Visit Animaker’s PPT to Video Converter . Here, click on the Call to Action button.

You will be redirected to the login page. Log in if you already have an account. If not, Sign up to create a new account. 

Once that’s done, you will be directed to a blank project with the PPT upload window open. Upload your file and make sure it is in PPTX format. Please note that the maximum file size allowed is 50 MB.

Once the file is uploaded, it will look for font compatibility. If the font used in the PPT is available on the app, the tool applies it. If not, it assigns suitable fonts to the text. Now, if you wish to change the font, you have two options.

First, you can choose from the list of over 200 fonts available. Once you select a font, click on the Done button.

Alternatively, if you prefer a custom font, you can upload the font file by clicking on the Upload Font option. Once the file is uploaded, click on Done .

Next, choose the transition effect from the list of nearly 100 transition effects and click on Apply .

Then, choose the enter and exit effects for the elements in your presentation from the list of 30+ effects. Then click on Apply .

After that, choose a music track for your video. You can choose from over 30,000 music tracks and sound effects available for this. You can preview a track by hovering the cursor over it.

Once all these are applied, your slides will be converted into scenes. You can adjust the duration of each scene to your liking by clicking on the “+” and  “-” signs in the scene timeline.

Now that’s how you convert your powerpoint into a video.

However, the scenes in the video look dull and lifeless despite adding transitions and music. Something more is needed to make it exciting and engaging. 

Fortunately, many sections are available in the library on the left-hand side.

These include Character, Property, Text, BG, Image, Video, Music, and Effect sections, as well as Apps and Integration.

You can utilize these sections to enhance your video and make it lively. For example, you can use characters and lip-sync them to the content in your scenes. Yes, it is possible! To learn how, watch the tutorial below, which provides a step-by-step guide for beginners. 

You can also add properties, change the background, and add images and videos.

Look at how I used a character, then animated and lip-synced it for the first scene of my video. 

Looks great, doesn't it?

You can repeat the process for all the scenes. 

After enhancing your video, all there is left to do is download it. To download your video, click on Publish and then select Download Video . 

Then, click on Download .

Your video will be rendered and available for download on the exports page.

This is how to convert ppt to video online. Let’s see how to do so offline.

2. How to convert PPT to Video Offline

In this section, we shall see how to convert PPT to video on two different operating systems.

Let’s look at each of these in detail.

1. How to convert PPT to Video in Windows

Open Microsoft Powerpoint and open your powerpoint file. Click on the “ File ” tab on the top menu.

Here, select “ Export ”.

Next, choose the “ Create a Video ” option.

Here, select your preferred presentation quality by clicking on the “ Presentation Quality ” drop-down menu. 

The default timing for each slide is set to 5 seconds. You can change it if you wish.

However, this can become an issue if you need to spend more time on a particular slide.

So, if you wish to have a different duration for each slide, click on the second drop-down menu and select the “ Record Timings and Narrations ” option to record your presentation.

Once recorded, the timings for each slide get set. Then, click on the “ Create Video ” option.

Here, choose the destination folder, rename your file, and choose file type. Then, click on “ Save” .

The conversion begins, and you can see the progress below in the powerpoint window.

That’s how you can convert a PPT to video in Windows.

Now, let’s see how to do this on Mac.

2. How to convert PPT to Video on Mac

Open your powerpoint on Keynote and select the “ File” tab. 

Here, Select “ Export to ” and click on “ Movie .”

This will open a pop-up window with options including slide duration, video resolution, and the ability to choose a range of slides to convert. Click on “ Next” after making the necessary changes. 

Then, choose a destination folder and click on “ Export .” 

The conversion process begins.

While the above method involves all the slides having a standard duration, there is a way to record with custom durations. Let me show you how.

First, open your powerpoint on Keynote and select the “ Play” drop-down menu.

Then, select the “ Record Slideshow ” option.

This will open a recording window. If you want to record your voice, click on the microphone icon, then hit the red dot to start recording. Use the arrow keys on your keyboard to move to the next slide.

Once you have finished recording, click on the red dot again to stop the recording. To exit the recording window, click on the “ X” sign.

Now, to convert the screen-recorded PPT to video, click on the “ File ” tab just like before.

Then, Select “ Export to ” and click on “ Movie .”

In this pop-up window, you can choose the resolution type. Then, click on “ Next ”. 

Choose a destination folder and click “ Export ”.

And that’s how you convert a PowerPoint to a video on a Mac.

Congratulations! You have found different ways to convert your presentation to a video.

Who would have thought that you could easily convert your PowerPoint to video and improve its overall quality simultaneously?

How to Convert PowerPoint to Video (3 Useful Ways)

PowerPoint is a very efficient way to do a presentation and demonstrate your work. But when it comes to the case that you want to post your files on social networking or video-sharing websites like YouTube. Or you want to secure your presentation from being modified and repackaged by others. Well, you can choose to convert your PPT to a video for better sharing and watching.

But how can you make your PPT into a video? Today we'll show you 3 useful ways to generate a PowerPoint presentation to a video file step by step. You can read and select the method that suits you. Remember to get your slide and computer devices ready first. OK, let’s begin now!

How to Convert a PowerPoint to a Video in Microsoft?

When you record a presentation, you may want to keep all of its elements including the narration, animation, pointer movements, and timings you already set in the presentation. For this, here’s the most convenient and effective way to convert your PowerPoint into a video in Microsoft directly.

Check the following tutorial for generating a PPT to a video in Microsoft with different devices.

Generate a PowerPoint Presentation to a Video on Windows

To convert your slide show to a video file on a Windows device, the only thing you need to do is to open your PowerPoint presentation with Microsoft and follow the steps below:

Select File > Export > Create a video .

Select the Quality and if you want to Use Recorded Timings and Narrations .

Set the default time and click “ Create a Video ”

Enter a File Name and select the Saved Location .

Select the Video Format in the Save As type box. Click “ Save ” to generate the video.

Here’s a more detailed processes instruction for your reference:

Step 1. Open the PPT file you’d like to convert. Save it first then go to the “ File ”.

Step 2. Select “ Export ” and you can see the “Create a Video” session, Click on it.

For PowerPoint 2010 and previous versions you should click on the button named “ Save & Send ”.

Step 3. Then you can see the option of the output quality and other recording settings for your video. Select them at your wish.

An information you should know is that the greater quality of screen resolution you select, the larger the download size for video. If your data capacity is restricted, you might want to go with a low-quality option.

Step 4. Also, select “ Use Recorded Timings and Narrations ” if you have timings and narrations and wish to use them in your video presentation.

If you see the option doesn't available to be selected, it means you haven't recorded narrations or specified timings in your slide presentation.

Step 5. Set the amount of time you want each of your slides to display. And click “ Create Video ”.

Step 6. Choose the location and video format for your video presentation. PowerPoint supports two video formats: MPEG-4 Video (MP4) and Windows Media Video (WMV).

For the greatest compatibility with video players, the MPEG-4 Video format is suggested.

Wait a few minutes for your PowerPoint video to generate. The time it takes depends on the content of your slides. You can check the progress bar at the bottom to estimate the finishing time. Do not close your file until it is finished.

This method is quick and convenient. However, this function of Microsoft only supports recording the sound from a microphone, which means you can only record the voice but can not record the sound from the system . Also, the embedded media files in your slides won’t play in the video.

So, for Windows users who want to record your slide show with system sound, try out the solution of recording your screen through Xbox Game Bar :

Step 1. Press Windows + G to launch Xbox Game Bar. And navigate to the Settings, then select General to enable the features.

Step 2. Click “ Start Recording ” to record your PowerPoint playing screen. Or you can press Win + Alt + R to start capturing your screen.

Step 3. While finishing the recording, click the “ Stop Recording ”.

When the recordings are done, the video will be automatically saved as MP4 files on your computer.

With this method, you can only record the PPT in window mode by using the Xbox Game Bar. If you are doing the recording in slide show mode, then you can’t customize the recording session but only record it in full-screen .

Generate a PowerPoint Presentation to a Video on Mac

For Mac users, you may also save your presentation as a video file to run on computers that do not have PowerPoint installed.

Select File > Export .

Open the File Format list to select the video format (MP4 or MOV).

Check the box if you want to Use Recorded Timings and Narrations .

Set the default time you want to spend on each slide.

Click “ Export ” to generate the video.

PowerPoint 2016 for Mac does not enable video saving. This functionality is supported by other versions of PowerPoint for macOS (2011, 2019, and the Microsoft 365 subscription).

More detailed processes instruction for your reference:

Step 1. Open the PPT file you’d like to convert. Save it first.

Step 2. Go to the “ File ” then click “ Export ”.

Do not use Save As , because it doesn't offer video options.

Step 3. In the File Format drop-down menu, choose your video format. PowerPoint supports two video formats: MPEG-4 Video (MP4) and MOV .

MOV files are compatible with any application that supports QuickTime movies. MP4 is more widely accepted because it is a global standard, particularly on hardware devices.

Step 4. Select the Video Quality according to your need.

The quality of screen resolution you select may influent your generating time. And the greater quality of screen resolution you select, the larger the download size for video.

Step 5. Check the box next to Use Recorded Timings and Narrations to enable this setting shown in your video. You can also choose to set the amount of time the video will spend on each slide.

When you export your presentation as a video, the narrated audio that was recorded in your slides will play, while other embedded media files won't play.

Step 6. Name the video and choose the saving location, Click “ Export ”.

That's all, you can just wait for the converting procedure to complete, and your video presentation will be generated into video.

So these are the ways to make a video from your PowerPoint presentation file, which is very convenient and can output high-quality video. However, there still have some little defects in these methods.

Therefore, if you want to record your PowerPoint with sound which can customize your recording session while recording and generate it into a high-quality video , you may need a better tool to help you do this.

How to Record PowerPoint into Video with Audio via VideoSolo

Here we strongly recommend a powerful PowerPoint video recording tool VideoSolo Screen Recorder . It’s multi-functional software that can capture all computer screen activity and allows you to record computer screen with audio , generated by your Mac/Windows computer or sounds from a microphone, or both.

Conveniently, the video recorder allows you to capture a full screen or a customized area . You may also record from a specific window or record around the mouse pointer.

To meet various demands, VideoSolo presets multiple format and codec options. You can output the PowerPoint video in various formats, such as MP4, WMV, MOV, F4V, TS, and AVI . All media files will be saved in high quality by default and can be compatible with any mainstream digital device. So you can share your PPT video with your colleague or friends or upload it to the online platform in any format you want.

The program is also very user-friendly. Follow the steps below to record your audio.

Step 1. Download and Launch VideoSolo

Install VideoSolo Screen Recorder and open it to enter the interface.

Step 2. Choose "Video Recorder" and Select the Recording Area and System Sound

When you go to Video Recorder, you may record the entire screen or customize it by picking a region/window or some predefined dimensions.

Remember to toggle on "System Sound" after modifying the recording area to set a correct system volume. Remember to switch off the microphone unless you intend to narrate when recording your slide show.

If your recording environment is still not quite enough, and your voice is not big enough, you can try checking the box of Microphone enhancement by clicking the drop-down list in the microphone option. And to prevent making excessive noise, VideoSolo provides the function of Microphone noise cancellation , also by checking the option box as below.

Because of Mac system constraints, you may install an audio driver before recording audio in the Mac version. The procedure takes only a few minutes.

Also, you can alter the video output format , video quality , frame rate , audio format, and audio quality . The supported output formats include MP4, MOV, WMV, MP3, AAC , etc.

If your computer runs with good performance, you may select 60 FPS for exporting but at the cost of creating a large file. You can also try utilizing video compressors to reduce video file size .

If your computer is regular, you may choose an appropriate format or codec approach to balance image quality and video file size. Many people opt for the MP4 format in that it shows good compatibility , maintains fine details , and delivers a smaller file .

Step 4. Start Recording your PowerPoint presentation

To begin recording a PPT slide in show mode, click the red " REC " button.

When capturing your screen, VideoSolo also allows you to add notes, shapes, and arrows. To open the drawing panels, simply click the Edit button.

With this function, you can make your words more clear while doing the tutorial presentation or lecture through your PowerPoint slides recording.

PowerPoint: How to Add Audio to Powerpoint on Windows 10 and Mac

Last Updated Thursday, August 31, 2023, at 5:00 am

Known Issue (August 14, 2023): 

Some Windows 11 users are experiencing issues with PowerPoint exports when they are turned into .mp4 files. Visuals within the exported PowerPoint are appearing as flipped, or upside down. We are working with Microsoft to find a solution. 

As a workaround, please convert the file as a .WMV file option and save it in My Media.  The following are directions on how to convert a PowerPoint Presentation with audio to a .WMV file . For more support or to help troubleshoot issues, please reach out to the LTS Help Desk at [email protected] . 

Microsoft PowerPoint offers features to record audio narration and export it as a video. PowerPoint records audio slide-by-slide rather than in one continuous file, allowing creators to easily re-record a slide if they make a mistake or need to change something later. Exporting as a video and uploading to Kaltura or Canvas for streaming is advantageous since it standardizes file types, doesn't require a download to view, is in a format that can be captioned, and allows viewers to navigate more efficiently. 

A recent update has made the process comparable on a Mac, but the specifics vary. Windows 10 instructions follow; Mac users can click the link below to jump to the appropriate instructions.

• Instructions for Mac users

Windows 10 Instructions:

The following instructions explain how to add audio to your PowerPoint presentation on Windows 10 and export that PowerPoint as an MP4. The text instructions cover the same information as the embedded video below.

NOTE: If you have an older version of PowerPoint, you may need to update it to access the features described below. If you do not have PowerPoint, you can download it and other Microsoft Office products for free by going to office365.uwec.edu. If you have questions about updating or installing PowerPoint, contact the LTS Help Desk at [email protected] or 715-836-5711. 

• Design your PowerPoint TIP: Use images and limit text to better engage viewers/listeners.  

• Click Record Slide Show NOTE:  Audio may start recording automatically if you have an older version of PowerPoint. It will still work, but this version offers reduced functionality. 

• Record narration and avoid reading text on the slide out loud to viewers. Click the blue Replay button to listen to the recorded audio and ensure it was recording. 

• Press [Escape] or the ‘X’ button located in the top right of the screen when the audio recordings are finished. You will see a speaker icon on slides that have audio.

• Select Export  (steps 10-14 are shown in screenshot below).
• Select Create a Video .  
• Optional: Select Full HD (1080p) for the video quality; it is unlikely a higher quality is needed.  
• Select Use Recorded Timings and Narrations.  

• Follow prompt/pop-up window to save the video in a memorable location. 

• How to upload and share with Kaltura (Instructors should use Kaltura. Students will need to use it if the file is over 500 MB, which a PowerPoint probably won't be and they can use Canvas.)
• How to upload and share in a Canvas assignment (students)
• How to upload and share in a Canvas discussion (students) - the instructions refer to the "rich content editor" which is just the features in the top of the discussion post reply. 

Elaboration on the Recording Features:

• Timing Feature – there is a rolling time feature for the individual slide and the overall presentation. Allows the speaker/presenter to monitor how long they are talking.
• Microphone Feature - Click on Settings  and select Microphone  and then the specific device to set up before recording.
• Replay Feature - Use to check that the audio is recording properly before starting additional slides.
• Clear Feature - Select Clear  to delete/re-record audio.
• Don’t set the camera to record - Make sure this button has a diagonal slash through it to avoid the problem.

Mac Instructions:

The following instructions will teach you how to add audio to your PowerPoint presentation on a Mac and export that PowerPoint as an MP4. The text instructions cover the same information as the video embedded below.

NOTE: It is essential to have the Office 365 version of PowerPoint or you will not be able to save your PowerPoint as a video. If necessary, you can download it and other Microsoft Office products for free by going to office365.uwec.edu. If you have questions about updating or installing PowerPoint, contact the LTS Help Desk at [email protected] or 715-836-5711. 

• TIP: Use images and limit text to better engage viewers/listeners.  

• Click Record Slide  Show
• TIP: Before you begin recording your full presentation, do a practice recording to verify your microphone and other settings are correct.

• NOTE: Avoid reading the text written directly on the slide; use the slide to elaborate on the material being presented.
•  Stop speaking for a second to prevent the audio from cutting out as slides change. Resume speaking when the time starts moving again under the Current slide timing feature to the left of the recording button.
• Click Stop or Pause  at the top of the screen and then End Show  in the top left corner   when all the audio recordings have been finished.
• Check the audio by clicking on Play from Start  under the Slide Show tab or the presenter mode icon at the bottom of the screen.

• Edit the name of the file and where you would like to save the video following PowerPoint's prompts.  

• Click Export 

• Upload your mp4 video to Kaltura or Canvas to share it:
• How to upload and share to My Media (Instructors should use My Media. Students will need to use it if the file is over 500 MB, which a PowerPoint probably won't be and they can use Canvas.)
• How to upload and share in a Canvas discussion (students) - the instructions refer to the "rich content editor" which is the tool at the top of the discussion post reply.
