Use this interactive demo to learn how to record yourself presenting a PowerPoint slideshow.

Quick summary

PowerPoint's built-in Record Slide Show feature lets you capture video of yourself presenting directly over your slides. Using the Slide Show tab, you can record narration and webcam footage from the beginning or any current slide, then stop when done.


Steps

  1. Open your PowerPoint presentation.
  2. Click the Slide Show tab in the ribbon.
  3. Select Record Slide Show from the menu.
  4. Choose Record from Beginning or Record from Current Slide.
  5. Click the Record button to start capturing your video and narration.
  6. Click Stop when you have finished recording.

📌 Why this matters

PowerPoint's Record Slide Show feature enables presenters to embed a live video of themselves directly into a slideshow, making it ideal for async communication, remote training, and video-first sales enablement. By combining webcam footage with slide narration, users can deliver engaging, self-running presentations without third-party screen recording software. This built-in capability reduces tool complexity and helps teams create polished video presentations at scale. It is a critical workflow for educators, sales professionals, and content creators who need to present PowerPoint with video overlay.
