Creating a PowerPoint video with a face is a great way to add a personal touch to your presentation, and it’s quite simple to do. This involves a combination of PowerPoint features, including the “Record Slide Show” and “Insert Video” functions. Here is a step-by-step process:
1. Open your PowerPoint presentation and navigate to the slide where you want to add the video.
2. Click on the “Insert” tab in the PowerPoint toolbar, then select “Video.” You have the option to insert a video from your files or online.
3. To insert a video from your files, choose “Video on My PC,” locate your video file, and click “Insert.”
4. To resize, move, or format your video, click on the video and use the “Video Format” or “Playback” tabs in the toolbar.
5. In the “Playback” tab, you can select whether your video plays automatically, when clicked, or across slides.
6. Once your video is formatted to your liking, save your PowerPoint presentation.
If you want to record a video directly into PowerPoint, you can use the “Record Slide Show” feature. Here’s how:
1. Go to the slide where you want to add the video.
2. Click on the “Slide Show” tab in the toolbar, then select “Record Slide Show.”
3. You’ll see options to record from the current slide or from the beginning. Choose the one that suits your needs.
4. In the recording window, make sure your camera is turned on so it can record your face.
5. Click “Record” when you’re ready. As you speak, you can navigate through your slides and your actions will be recorded.
6. When you’re finished, click “Stop.” Your recording will automatically be saved to your slide.
7. Save your PowerPoint presentation.
