Instructions for Recording Your Video Presentation

There are several video conferencing tools available to easily record a presentation.  Zoom, Microsoft Teams, and Google Meet are among the most preferable. Our recommended approach is to record a compatible video, using a webcam or an external video camera to create a small window of the speaking presenter and an external microphone or headset for the audio.

Zoom, Teams, and Google Meet are presentation software allow recording audio and video directly in the application and can export appropriate video files in MP4 format. See relevant links below for more information regarding all three options.

Zoom

Microsoft Teams
Follow these instructions for recording in Teams.

Google Meet

PowerPoint
While PowerPoint has some easy tools for recording a presentation and audio, it doesn’t include video of the presenter(s). We highly encourage presenters to include video of themselves in addition to the presentation to allow for a more engaged audience experience.

Follow these instructions to generate a MPEG-4 (.mp4) file from your slides and audio/video.
