PowerPoint Hints and Tips: how to find all the hints and tips we have on PowerPoint and some information on the recording feature

PowerPoint hints and tips: PowerPoint iconThis blog is really a “double whammy”. Firstly it demonstrates a particular page on our website and it was created by using the new Recording feature in PowerPoint 365. We are going to go through it now below.

 

Recording feature in PowerPoint

PowerPoint has lots of new features. One of these is the ability to record a presentation with narration and video and screenshots. You can then turn the presentation into a video which you can put online or send to whoever.

To create the video, we went through these steps:

  1. Opened up a blank presentation
  2. Created slide 1 and inserted a video of John talking to introduce the presentation. The video has been trimmed and reduced in size
  3. For slide 2 we inserted a screen recording from PowerPoint’s Insert Tab (or the Recording Tab) of John talking you through the new hints and tips PowerPoint blog page
  4. We went into Rehearse timings from the Slide Show Tab, generated the correct transitions times and finally exported it all to a video .mp4 file
