I have version 2016 and 365 - still having difficulty. I can access video from camera.... but it doesn't look the same as yours. I cannot customize my ribbon in 365. Help. I'd really like to learn how to use my webcam (laptop) and record self right into my ppt.
Thanks Deborah! We are happy to help. Be sure to validate you have the most up-date-version of PowerPoint 365. If it's helpful, you could email us at info@revolutionlightboards.com to share some screenshots.
Adding from our email conversations to help others! - The path to get to the video recording in 365 is slightly different, but still very accessible. It lives under the tab Slide Show and under Record Slide Show after that. See more details here: cte.clarksoncollege.edu/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/Recording-in-PPT-Office365.pdf.

Hi there, my PowerPoint presentation includes several short videos. When I try recording, everything worked fine at first. Then when I try to play a video in the PowerPoint, my webcam stops working. How do I fix this?
Hi, i just see your video and its amazing, I use ms office 2016 but i can't find the webcam option as you said in 2:14 and the appearance of the screen is completely different from yours. Is it because of the old version or Do i need an additional setting??
We have not tested this exact feature on a Mac, sorry. From our experience on Windows it is important that you're running the latest version of Microsoft Office 365, so if you have an older version that could be the issue also. We have not heard any reports of specific Mac-related issues thus far.
To get this option in Powerpoint, you must upgrade to 2016 or later. Else use a screen recording program and video editing software to get a similar effect but that will take more effort of course.
Sir, thank you for the imformative video. I have a little issue. I made my presentation with some text animations. But when I try to Record slidshow, the whole content of the slide is apear at once without considering the text animations.But in your video, it is working perfectly. What will be the issue? I am using Office 2016. Is there any settings that should be done to the animations for this type of recording.
But I can't find that "record" option to click and therefore I can't find record button on the slidebar - only voice recording is available but I also need a video recording. What to do in that case?
To our knowledge thus far, many versions of PowerPoint can record slideshows with annotations and audio.

If you are running a computer-installed version of Office 365 and you follow the steps shown in the video, you absolutely will be able to record video.
Hello Veerabhadra - thank you for your question! The yellow circle was done in post-production, using Camtasia. You can choose a "laser" option that gives you a red circle for your pointer - that may be of interest!
Thank you for the question Alir A - I explain how to get the Recording option visible, by using Customize the Ribbon, starting at the 0:54 mark of the video.
Hello Aditi - thanks for commenting. Are you able to use your webcam in other applications, such as a video chat platform? Making sure your computer can recognize the webcam first would be a great first step in troubleshooting.
Sorry for my typo error/Typing mistake in my last cpomment. I want to know if I can do video recording with PP app that is available in my laptop, which is version PP 7 I think or is the requirement of PP 365 is a must please?
This works with the MS Office 365 version. If you try follow the instructions we show here and do not see the option to activate these features, your version does not include the functions you are after and you will need to upgrade.
Geetha, this can be done, but not in PowerPoint. Camtasia offers simultaneous screen and webcam recording and both can be resized and moved after capturing however you desire. If you're not familiar with Camtasia, it is a video recording and editing program with a reasonable learning curve. It's very popular in education. A single educational license is $169, individual/business license is $249 but you can also get a free trial. www.techsmith.com/camtasia-pricing.html
Tried your steps, but only screen slides were recorded, not the small picture of me talking to the slides???? What do I need to click on to get the web cam to record as well - I clicked on the cam and it did "film" me - I was visible, but when I followed through to export as video etc. only the screen slides showed up?????
Hello CJ - when exporting as a video, be sure to choose "Use Recording Timings and Narrations" on the drop-down, before choosing "Create Video". Thanks for watching!
@@anand8964 Can you see the record tab on the top ribbon? If not, go to File--> Options--> Customize ribbon, check the box next to recording, click OK. You should then see the Record tab in the ribbon. Once you click Record Slide Show to begin your narration, there should be a Settings drop-down in the upper right to change your video source. Unfortunately, we don't have Office 2016 ourselves to verify, but it should be there, based on this video at the 40 second mark: ruclips.net/video/Y5dgwwa5XRA/видео.html.
If I have embedded hyperlinks in the presentation for my students, do you still recommend saving as a video? Or would you recommend just letting them play the presentation at their pace and use links as they come to them?
Producing it into a video is going to be best in most cases. First, that may be helpful so you can post it online where it is easy to access. It also means you would NOT be requiring all viewers to have PowerPoint on their computer which they would if you shared the native PP file. Further, there may be compatibility issues with playback if your viewers are not running the same version of PowerPoint. Best of luck!
Are you running the latest version of MS Office 365, installed on your computer? If so and you follow the setup instructions here you will have that option.
thanks for the explanation, i have a question, when i click the slide show record and the results only appear settings for timing, narration, and laser pointer, after that only a fullscreen slideshow and record appears, unlike the display in your video, is there a solution to reslove this problem? thank you
I don't think your issue it's related to what we're showing here. There should be any changes to Animations working when you record, and in our example at time marker 3:20 you see text animations working normally. I think your issue is something else so I would double-check how you created the animations.
Your version of PowerPoint may not be compatible with recording video. To our knowledge thus far, many versions of PowerPoint can record slideshows with annotations and audio. Only a computer-installed version of Office 365 for Windows allows a user to add video to the recording, though from other comments, it seems other more recent versions (i.e. 2019) may also have the capability.

I'm confused! I tried this (recording slide show with webcam recording me a couple of weeks ago, and it worked perfectly and I was so happy. Today I went to record a presentation, but it looks nothing like it did then! I can't come to the interface where I choose webcamera, when I click Record slide show it starts recording immediately with audio only. Has there been an update to PP that removed the webcamera recording option?
Hello - thanks for the comment! Be sure to validate that you have the most up-to-date version of PowerPoint 2016, as discussed here: ruclips.net/video/Hj45QLD7fbM/видео.html!
This feature is not present in MS Office 2013. If you upgrade to Office 365 (installed on your computer, NOT the web browser version) you will then have this feature.
For those who still fail to do PowerPoint screen recording with narration, webcam etc., I recommend an easy tool that helps me to create narrated video presentation with facecam, and its name is RecMaster(www.recmaster.net/). With it, I can stick my face into slideshow in any position and do real-time annotation and talking...
Thank you for this Maam or Sir Especially during these pandemic and Online class we cant always present in front of the class due to the lack of time and too many students i can now record my presentation without downloading a hard powerpoint version thank you very much

@@JihanHalim there are some options for a free 30 day trial of Office 365, or if you are a student or teacher you may be able to get an ongoing license for free. Otherwise I believe you'll have to pay, yes.
Hi. I have a question. When I use Zoom (I have a Logitech e930c webcam, the drivers for which aren’t the best as they’re designed for the Asian market!) meetings, it’s easy to use the software to create a virtual backdrop (my Company logo). However, I need to go a step further, so I’m not sure if installing OBS will help. I’m creating a new educational RUclips channel. What I'd like to be able to do is create MS PowerPoint slides (which I understand I can then ‘record‘ from within PowerPoint to create an MP4 video - I also have Nero video editing software, in case that helps!) and have myself appearing on my webcam (as a kind of mini thumbnail video in the corner of the main PowerPoint screen) describing the slides as each plays on the main screen. I also want to have the virtual background behind me instead of my office! Once complete, it would be my intention to upload the finished article to RUclips. Am I over-complicating? What’s the best way of doing this. Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks.
Thank you for the question, Hugh Lee! The mp4 video that will be recorded when you narrate in PowerPoint will be relatively small, so your background will not be very visible. With that being said, if that is a unique feature that you want to keep, there's a handful of options. Here are 2: 1. One option would be to put a green screen behind you and record through PowerPoint as described. Once in post-production, you could key out the chroma green color and replace it with your logo. We use Camtasia for video editing and have not used Nero, but it appears you can use Chroma Key in Nero: ruclips.net/video/2Hseax0TMFg/видео.html. 2. Others may use OBS to accomplish this and create a virtual webcam, where they would key out in real-time, overlaying a background. You would need to choose that webcam in the Settings once you start the Record Slide Show, but we are not sure PowerPoint will recognize it. It would be worth a shot though! Do these options help you move forward?
Revolution Lightboards Thank you so much for getting back to me. My daughter suggested a slightly simpler way that I have found works. I have the free copy of Zoom. I set up a ‘meeting’ with only me in it. Zoom lets me choose a ‘virtual background’ (my Company logo) for my webcam settings, which I did. I’m currently working on my series of educational PowerPoint presentations. Once they’ve been completed, I’ll be able to go back and do Zoom meetings with Zoom set to ‘record’. I’ll then be able to do my my narration, doing a simultaneous ‘screen share’ (which will be the PowerPoint slides - I can read the script from my iPad, if necessary). I’m quite comfortable with this ‘lower-level’ kind of technology, and none of my presentations last longer than the 30 minutes that the free version of Zoom allows anyway. Your advice (which I may well try out if things get more tricky down the line) is VERY much appreciated. Thank you.
Only a computer-installed version of Office 365 will have this (Windows and Mac are both OK). If you are running a different version of Office or running the the web-browser version that is your issue.
According to the Microsoft link in the description, Office 365 for Mac will allow you but the older versions do not allow this. We have not verified that ourselves but if you do this, can you please comment back to confirm?
Thanks for the info... It's very helpful and simple to follow. I can do this with office 2019 but not office with 2016. Is there any way to use it with office 2016. Please update if possible...

What I'd like to be able to do is create MS PowerPoint slides (which I understand I can then ‘record‘ from within PowerPoint to create an MP4 video - I also have Nero video editing software, in case that helps!) and have myself appearing on my webcam (as a kind of mini thumbnail video in the corner of the main PowerPoint screen) describing the slides as each plays on the main screen. I also want to have the virtual background behind me instead of my office! Once complete, it would be my intention to upload the finished article to RUclips. Am I over-complicating? What’s the best way of doing this. Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks.
Thank you for the question, Hugh Lee! The mp4 video that will be recorded when you narrate in PowerPoint will be relatively small, so your background will not be very visible. With that being said, if that is a unique feature that you want to keep, there's a handful of options. Here are 2: 1. One option would be to put a green screen behind you and record through PowerPoint as described. Once in post-production, you could key out the chroma green color and replace it with your logo. We use Camtasia for video editing and have not used Nero, but it appears you can use Chroma Key in Nero: ruclips.net/video/2Hseax0TMFg/видео.html. 2. Others may use OBS to accomplish this and create a virtual webcam, where they would key out in real-time, overlaying a background. You would need to choose that webcam in the Settings once you start the Record Slide Show, but we are not sure PowerPoint will recognize it. It would be worth a shot though! Do these options help you move forward?
Revolution Lightboards Thank you so much for getting back to me. My daughter suggested a slightly simpler way that I have found works. I have the free copy of Zoom. I set up a ‘meeting’ with only me in it. Zoom lets me choose a ‘virtual background’ (my Company logo) for my webcam settings, which I did. I’m currently working on my series of educational PowerPoint presentations. Once they’ve been completed, I’ll be able to go back and do Zoom meetings with Zoom set to ‘record’. I’ll then be able to do my my narration, doing a simultaneous ‘screen share’ (which will be the PowerPoint slides - I can read the script from my iPad, if necessary). I’m quite comfortable with this ‘lower-level’ kind of technology, and none of my presentations last longer than the 30 minutes that the free version of Zoom allows anyway. Your advice (which I may well try out if things get more tricky down the line) is VERY much appreciated. Thank you.
@@hughleemusic54 Sounds like a good option, best of luck!
What he doesn't say is that certain versions of powerpoint wont have the option for video!
See the pinned comment. A computer installed version of Office 365 will have this feature.
Why my PowerPoint doesn't have the camera button ?
Only a computer-installed version of Office 365 will have this (Windows and Mac are both OK). If you are running a different version of Office or running the the web-browser version that is your issue.
thanks for this very helpful vid. now I dont have to download screen recording apps for my video discussions
Excellent, we're glad this is helpful for you!
Thankuuuuuuuuuu well u r cute though hehe 😂💜
I have a Mac air and who can I doit
Can I do this on a mac?
According to the Microsoft link in the description, Office 365 for Mac will allow you but the older versions do not allow this. We have not verified that ourselves but if you do this, can you please comment back to confirm?
How to add camera in 2010 version?
You cannot, this feature is not available in 2010. See pinned comment above.
Thanks for the info...
It's very helpful and simple to follow.
I can do this with office 2019 but not office with 2016.
Is there any way to use it with office 2016.
Please update if possible...
Thank you for the comment! Unfortunately, we don't have Office 2016 ourselves to verify, but to our research, the camera recording functionality is available in that version. Please verify that you have the most up-to-date version installed. See these two links for reference: support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/record-a-slide-show-with-narration-and-slide-timings-0b9502c6-5f6c-40ae-b1e7-e47d8741161c?ui=en-us&rs=en-us&ad=us#OfficeVersion=Windows & www.studynet2.herts.ac.uk/ltic.nsf/Teaching+Documents/2F43DF027784A0CB802581F50039E261/$FILE/V2%20PowerPoint2016%20Recording%20Features.pdf
Yes you can do this in office 2013 too. I have tried. You just have to add few 'add ins'
@@hariomkushwaha9773 Could you comment on what add-ins you are using to make that work? Others may be interested in doing the same.
I can't see my face
