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. So it reality your presentation is a video.

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.)
