Overview
One nice feature of using PowerPoint for recording is that you can record and clear the audio from each individual slide without changing recordings on other slides. You can view slide notes while recording, use annotation tools, and use the camera to show their camera image at the bottom right of the screen. Still, for best quality recording and more advanced editing, OIT recommends Panopto.
Note - recording is available in the downloaded version of PowerPoint. It is not available in the Microsoft 365 version online.
