Create Training Videos Using PowerPoint

[@surgicalshot1]

Great video. Now I will need to search to see how you installed the floating video of yourself as when you narrated this.

[@mendel5106]

Sharon, I wanted to express my gratitude for the excellent training you provided. It was incredibly helpful in enabling me to craft my inaugural PowerPoint presentation complete with recorded video for my professional tasks. The enthusiasm my supervisor showed upon viewing it was truly inspiring. Thank you!

[@SharonSmith]

[@cahmeconnects3025]

how are you recording just yourself talking over this training video?

[@mikelmurphy6098]

Very impressive presentation/training video. Very specifically demonstrates with very succinct yet informative step-by-step instructions how to effectively use the video and audio functions of PowerPoint. Also, I very much appreciate your offering a link to the types of recording equipment you use. As Siskel and Ebert would have said in one of their movie reviews: Two Thumbs Up!

Thanks so much for the clarity. May I know if you have video that teaches people how to put yourself in the Video like the way you have done yours? I like it that you are not in a circle or any other shapes. Thanks a lot. 😀

[@juliegirton7301]

Hi Sharon! Love this video. Which microphone and webcam are you using?

[@SharonSmith]

Hi Julie! Below is a list of gear I currently use along with my affiliate links from my video description. I don't use a webcam, but I connect my camera to my PC using the Cam Link. This way, you can get better angles and lighting. But if you do use your phone or a webcam, I recommend elevating the camera, so you don't have it pointing up at you. I hope this helps! 🎙 Blue Yeti USB Microphone: amzn.to/2W4SbzV (Great for recording professional sounding audio for your videos!) 📗 Green Screen: amzn.to/2DnHsY2 📸 Camera: amzn.to/39KvpQA 🔌 Cam Link: amzn.to/2VFJyID (Turns your DSLR into a top-notch webcam) Thanks for watching my videos!

[@keesgroup8977]

Good evening, "I film myself on a green screen while also recording my desktop using Camtasia and I merge it together in post-production." - Do you have a video showing how you do this? Thank you.

Hello! I film myself on a green screen while also recording my desktop and then merge it together in post production. I plan to do a video on how to do it because a lot of people ask about it 😊. Thanks for watching my videos!

HI THERE. LOVE YOUR VID. BUT HOW DO YOU PUT YOURSELF IN THE VID WITHOUT BACKGROUND?

[@SharonSmith]

Hi Ronald! I film myself in front of a green screen while also recording my desktop and then merge together in post production. I hope to make a video on how to do it since I get a lot of questions on that. Thanks for watching!

[@seanm.holtmba1309]

Great work Sharon. Thanks for this video. It was very helpful. I've spent all this time trying to use other screen recorders when it turns out I could have just used PPT. With respects to how you filmed with the green screen, do you have a video for that? Thank you. I'll be sure to look through your "resources & gear" section. Thanks again. Cheers.

[@SharonSmith]

Hi Sean! I plan to work on a video showing how I film on a green screen and overlay on the desktop recording in post production. Thanks for watching!

[@inclusiveconsultancy8507]

@@SharonSmith Hi! Thanks for sharing this very useful video. Did you ever do the one on the green screen overlay?

[@daniellepinney3666]

Can closed captions be enabled in this process as well?

[@SharonSmith]

Hi Danielle - there is a way to add closed captioning in PowerPoint. I'll work on a video for that and let you know when it is out. You have to create a text file in a certain format. Thanks for watching and subscribing to my channel!

[@michaelhenrie4769]

Couple of comments and a question. First, very informative and very well done. Secondly, I would also like to know how you installed the video of yourself over your screen. The question is this. I completely agree that the screen shot and animations are *FAR* superior to the original bullet point. There is definitely information on the top of the screen capture that isn't pertinent to the approval process. Would you consider cropping the screen capture so it maintains the shaded space above and below it? Or possibly introducing the full screen capture and using Morph to crop it down so the pertinent part of the screen capture fits into that area?

[@FloridaDivingandLobstering]

Hey Sharon, I wasn't sure if you ever made the greenscreen video you were talking about making? I have been looking alot online and cannot seem to find any videos on how to do a talking head video with a powerpoint presentation. It seems like you could use OBS software and powerpoint but I cant quite figure it out.

[@ingridslater9404]

How did you record this video? On Loom or Zoom or?

[@SharonSmith]

Hello! I record my desktop in Camtasia and film myself on a green screen and then merge together in post-production. Thanks for watching and for subscribing to my Channel!

Sharon, this is amazing.....if I could ask, how did you video yourself into the powerpoint with just your image and having it see through???

Hello Sharon, great video! Any chance. you have made or can make a video on how to use your web cam in your powerpoint?

[@sampathkumara6717]

What version of powerpoint is this... I can't find that recording tab on my 2016 in ribbon customizatin

[@SharonSmith]

Hello - I'm using M365. I found this information on PowerPoint 2016: PowerPoint 2016 includes a Recording tab, but it may not be visible by default. If you don't see the Recording tab on your PowerPoint ribbon, you can enable it manually. Here's how to do it: Open PowerPoint 2016. Go to the File tab at the top left of the screen. Select Options from the menu. This will open the PowerPoint Options dialog box. In the PowerPoint Options dialog box, click on Customize Ribbon in the left-hand menu. In the right pane, you’ll see a list of tabs. Look for Recording in the list. If the Recording tab is unchecked, check the box next to it. Click OK to close the dialog box. The Recording tab should now appear on your ribbon, giving you access to features like recording a slideshow, adding narration, and creating screen recordings directly within PowerPoint. If you don't see the option at all, it might be because the version or build of PowerPoint 2016 you have doesn’t include it, as some earlier versions of PowerPoint 2016 did not have this tab. If that's the case, you might need to update your Office suite to get access to the latest features. Hope this helps! Thanks for watching!

[@kvsnam]

Very interesting and educative. I am new to this stuff and want to start training sessions for medical students. By the way, how can I include my live picture while I am talking. that would give a more personal touch to my classes

[@nonguyenthi8630]

Hello. I could not do "click on" trigger while recording instead of nexe page when clicking. Pls help me. Many thanks!

[@filynz]

Please which PowerPoint version you use?

[@SharonSmith]

Hello, I use Microsoft 365. Thanks for watching!

[@jvhh5845]

Thank you for the video! Would you consider making a tutorial on how to create a PowerPoint presentation video and insert yourself in the corner without showing the background (like you did in this video)? With Cameo, it's only possible to use specific formats, but I’m looking for a way to insert just my head and part of my torso, with everything else around me transparent. Is there a way to achieve this effect? Its actually what you do in your videos :).Would appreciate it!

[@martinuku523]

This is really nice. Unfortunately I am not seeing the Recording Tab in my customize ribbon

[@SharonSmith]

Hi Martin, what version of PPT do you have? In M365, the desktop app version, you should be able to enable the "Record" tab to show up when you customize your ribbon. My apologies you are having trouble with it! Thanks for watching!

[@swetamulji9169]

Very helpful. Thank you for sharing this. How did you record your video? Did you use zoom??

[@SharonSmith]

Hi Sweta! Glad you found my videos helpful. I do my desktop screen recording in Camtasia and I also film myself on a green screen and then merge the two in post production of the video. Two videos you may find helpful include how to create training videos in PowerPoint: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fnWYomdurbyGnbs and how to capture video for your presentation: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aIa8pXhshpinjM0 I'll be working on more videos this year on how to create training videos. If you record in Zoom, it can capture you on your webcam and also capture your screen share and the rendered video usually displays with your webcam to the right of the screen capture. Here are some affiliate links to the tools I use: ✦ Screen Recording Software: techsmith.z6rjha.net/NZG5b ✦ Green Screen: amzn.to/2DnHsY2 ✦ Camera: amzn.to/39KvpQA ✦ Live Stream Tool: amzn.to/2VFJyID Hope this helps!

Hello Sharon, thanks for your very helpful video. maybe you can help me with the following question.

The video should then be able to see/hear the audio and the animations. How can this succeed? Thank you in advance for your feedback.
