Record your entire Powerpoint presentation and save as video Office 365 version - Guide for teachers. Updated 06 March 2020 Screendumps in this guide are from a Mac computer. The procedure is identical on a PC computer. There are smaller differences in the Powerpoint program layout on PC, but just look for the same functions and buttons. There are two ways to add sound (narration) to your PowerPoint presentation:

A. Record your entire presentation in one video (this guide): You speak to the Powerpoint and save as a video file and upload to Absalon. This method is good, as the student view the video directly in Absalon. It is recommended also to upload the .ppt-presentation along with the video, for the students to grab text and images. If your .ppt includes animations, option A. is a better choice.

B. Add sound to each slide: This method is easier to use but is complicated if you have many animations in your slides. You record a sound file on each slide. Your file is saved as a Powerpoint. The students need to download the file, to hear the speak. Find guide on the obl.ku.dk site.

Please note that method A only works with Powerpoint Office 365 version, not PPT 2016 and before.
