Exporting a PowerPoint Presentation as a Video
Please be aware that animations and transitions are not included when exporting PowerPoint
presentations as video.
It is highly recommended that you listen to your recording before exporting to verify that each
slide has a recording and that the recording sounds good.
EXPORTING VIDEO (Windows)
1) Open the PowerPoint presentation and click the Record tab in the ribbon at the top of PowerPoint.
2) Click Export to Video.
3) On the next screen, enter a File Name for the exported video file.
4) Click Browse to select the destination on your computer for the video file.
5) You can click Customize Export to see more options for exporting, but the default settings work well
in most situations.
If you want to exit the Export screen, click Exit at the top of the screen or press Esc on your keyboard.
6) When you are ready to have PowerPoint export your presentation, click Export Video. The process
will take 5-20 minutes depending on the speed of your computer and the number of slides you have
recorded.
Once the presentation has been exported, be sure to watch the resulting video to verify that everything
turned out well. At the very least, skim through the video to check that each slide is present and has
recorded audio. If your PowerPoint includes a video, check that the video played correctly.
