Other Methods

There are several video conferencing tools available to easily record a presentation. In this method, you can show your face via webcam (if you would like) and display your slides as you talk.
You can use any meeting software as long as you get a good quality recording, and your final file is in the MP4 format. Here are some links to instructions on recording a meeting on common platforms:

Tips for recording

• Use as quite an area as possible.
• Avoid areas that have echo.
• Strong Wi-Fi connection.
• Good headset with a microphone close to mouth BUT away from a direct line of mouth to reduce “pops”. Avoid using the default built-in microphone on the computer.
• Do a test recording of a couple of minutes and review the sound and picture quality, MP4 format, and bitrate before recording the entire presentation.
