BEFORE YOU START, SOME TIPS:

• Presentation must be in English. • Font in PowerPoint slides should be in 24 pt.

• Avoid harsh lighting from any angles. • Do not sit with back against a window.

• Webcam should be positioned eye level. • Professional attire is suggested.

• Turn off computer and mobile notifications and avoid background noise.

• Set up soft lighting to frame your face coming from the direction of the camera.

STEP ONE: Check Your Microphone and Your Recording Setting

1. Click “System Preferences” on Dock.

2. Select “Sound”.

3. Verify your device is shown under

“Output” as “Headphone port” and

“Input” as “Microphone port”.

STEP TWO: Set up to Record Your Narration on PowerPoint

1. Launch PowerPoint and go to the “Slide Show” tab. Keep this open so that this is ready in

the background while you prepare to record through QuickTime.

2. Launch QuickTime player. It can be found in the applications folder.

3. Select File > New Movie Recording. You will see a camera window appear.

4. Select View > Float on top so that your camera

window will be on top of any other application

anywhere on your screen. If you do not select this,

your video may not record you.

5. Now you can resize the camera window. You can move this camera view anywhere you want

(left, right, top, bottom, etc).

6. Now, again, in QuickTime Player,

select File > New Screen Recording.

You will see a second QuickTime window appear which looks like

the screenshot to the right. This is the window you will use to record

your whole screen (your PowerPoint slides plus your camera window)

7. Click the arrow next to the Record button to select your microphone. You are now ready to

record your screen.

8. Click the Record button. You will see the below message. As you want to record your entire

screen, click anywhere on your screen to start the actual recording. Now you are recording

your screen and your camera view (e.g. your face).

9. Click back into PowerPoint, and on “Slide Show” tab, select “Play from Start” so that your

presentation is ready. Donʼt worry that the recording has already started as we can trim the

start of your video.

– To advance slides during your recording, you can use the right arrow key on your key

board, or click your mouse (left side), or click the space bar.

– Please ensure you are recording your presentation from the first slide in your presentation.

PowerPoint will automatically stop recording when you click past the last slide in

your presentation.

10. When you are done recording you may press the Command-Control-Esc keys. Again, donʼt

worry that the recording carries on for a few seconds while you press the buttons to stop, we

can trim the end of your video.

11. After you done, you may want to use QuickTime to trim the start and end of your talk

yourself: go to QuickTime > Edit > Trim to remove the unwanted start and end of your video.

when you click past the last slide in your presentation.

NOTES

function during the PowerPoint presentation, there

will be an area of the slide which will be covered by

your presenting box. Please format slides so the

presenting box is not covering material you wish

6. To begin audio recording,

select the red “Record” button on

the upper left-hand corner of

screen. Start speaking and click

through your slide deck. If you

have a video, it will automatically

play as you click through.

NOTES

• The overall length of the PowerPoint recording should not be longer than the given time of your actual

presentation timeslot and should be formatted by 16x9.

• Please introduce yourself at the start of your presentation and recording.

• PowerPoint does not record audio or video during transitions between slides, so don't speak while advancing

the slide.

• If you want to use your PowerPoint “Notes” while speaking, print the notes out or have them open in another

application - for example in a Word document. You will not be able to see the notes within the presentation

because recording is done while your presentation is in full screen mode.

• To advance slides during your recording, instead of clicking on the arrow in the Recording toolbar, you can

also use the right arrow key on your keyboard, or click your mouse (left side), or click the space bar.

• To stop recording the audio for a slide, instead of using the Esc keyboard button, you could also click on the

close button (X) in the Recording toolbar, or right click the slide and choose “End Show”.

“Export”.
