Use this interactive demo to learn how to hide your camera feed during a PowerPoint recording session.

Quick summary

This demo shows you how to remove the camera from a PowerPoint Recording View in just two steps. Simply click the Video icon in the top menu bar to instantly hide your webcam feed from the slide recording.

Steps

Open your presentation in PowerPoint's Recording View, navigate to the top menu bar, and click the Video icon to toggle off the camera.
The camera feed is immediately removed from your PowerPoint slide while the recording session continues uninterrupted.

📌 Why this matters

Removing the camera from a PowerPoint recording gives presenters full control over how their content appears to viewers — no webcam overlay means a cleaner, more professional slide recording. This feature is especially useful for educators, corporate trainers, and content creators who want to keep the focus on their slides rather than their face. With just one click on the Video icon inside PowerPoint's Recording View, users can instantly disable the camera without stopping or restarting their session. This streamlined workflow saves time and improves the quality of recorded presentations shared via Microsoft 365 or OneDrive.
