Hi everyone, my name is Kevin. Today I want to show you how you could take a PowerPoint
presentation and convert it into a video for YouTube or any other video service,
whether it be Vimeo or anything else or Facebook or wherever you want to upload your video to,
and as full disclosure, before we jump into this, I work at Microsoft as a full-time employee. All
right well let's jump on the PC. Here I am on my desktop, and I have PowerPoint on my taskbar here.
This is a PowerPoint that comes with Office 365. It's the latest and greatest version. However,
if you have an older version of PowerPoint, you should also be able to do this, but I just can't
guarantee that things will look the same. OK, well so I have this slide deck and what I'd love to do
is I want to add some narrations, some video on top, and then I want to package it all and
upload it to YouTube as a video. So, how do I go about doing that? So, the first thing that we're
going to do is click on this pivot option that says slideshow. So, I'm going to go ahead and
click on that, and then under here, you'll see an option right under the slide show pivot that says
record slideshow, and what I'm going to do is you could either record from the current slide or from
the beginning, but in this case the current slide is the beginning, so it doesn't matter which one
I choose. So, I'm going to go ahead and say from the beginning. Now a few things that I could do
on the screen that popped up. You see this big red record button? Well, that's how I record. I could
also stop recording and then I could also play it to hear how it sounds. I have some settings
under here where I could choose my microphone. I could choose my camera. In this case, you see me
showing up on here because I'm using my webcam to get my video onto this slide, and you have options
where you could turn your microphone on and off, your camera on and off, and you could turn on the
preview or not the preview, so it's kind of cool because what I could do is I can record myself
going through this presentation, speaking through it, and people could also see me on the video,
so it's a really nice format for, say, a YouTube video. What I can also do as I'm going through it
is I also have a pen and I have a highlighter, so here I could highlight things on my slide as I'm
going through it and those different animations will show up as I go through the slides. So,
let's, let's give this a shot, and I could also show notes if I want to. OK, so let's, let's go
ahead and record. Hi everyone, my name is Kevin with Kevin’s Cookie Company and today I wanted
to walk through some of our recent results that we've had with the cookie company. Now sales have
really been growing exponentially. You see these cookies, that represents our growth right there,
and really customers love our products. When I say love, I mean, they really love these cookies, and
also not only do our customers love our cookies, but our staff love working for this company. In
fact, people love us so much that we've been able to open three additional locations. We
have a location that we recently opened up in Pennsylvania. We have a New Jersey location,
and we have a New York location, in addition to all these other blue dots. We are a very
big company because look at all these locations all over the map. Now when we look at sales,
sales have been doing fantastic. There's really nothing bad to report. We've had just amazing
performance. And that wraps up the presentation. So, now that I've finished the presentation,
what I'm going to do is I'm going to click on the stop button and now what I can do is I can just
close this out and you can see the total recording was about one minute long, so I'm going to hit
this X button. Now that I've finished recording it, here I am back on the main slide view and on
each slide, now you see a video that I can move around to different locations. This is my video
of me talking and each slide has that and what I could do is I could simply click on this play
button. And so now what I could do is I could send the deck out to someone. They could go slide by
slide and they could see my recording or what I could do is if I want to prep it where it's
just kind of the package that I could send off to YouTube or Facebook or Vimeo or wherever I want to
share this, now I could simply click on export and create a video. So, I'm going to do create video.
You can do it in Ultra HD, which is 4K or 1080P, so I'll just do 4K and I'm going to create the
video and what it's going to do is I'm going to use my recorded timings as I was going through it,
and I also want to use my narrations, so sure it sounds good. Let's create the video. And now I
just have to choose a location, so I'm going to put it on my desktop, and we'll say we'll just
call this Kevin Cookie Company video and let's put it on my desktop. It's going to take a little bit
of time to go through. You can see in the bottom right-hand corner, it's rendering the video and
depending on you know how long it is, how many slides you have, how much video narrations
included, it might take a little bit longer to go through and render, so we'll just hang out
for a moment until it's done. How long is this video render going to take. I don't know, it's
going kind of slow. It looks like it has finished rendering the video, so I'm going to go ahead and
minimize PowerPoint and go back to my desktop. I saved the video file to the desktop and let's play
this. Hi everyone, my name is Kevin with Kevin Cookie Company and today I wanted to walk through
some of our recent results that we've had with the cookie company. Now sales have really. So,
there you see the video is playing. You see these cookies that represents our. So, here
you see a video with my PowerPoint presentation. It has the annotations that I do to this slide.
It has my video down in the bottom right-hand corner, and then it also has my narration on top
of the slide. So, this is a video that's really ready to go, and let's say I had my Kevin Cookie
Company website or my channel on YouTube that I wanted to upload to. I can now take this file,
and it is a just an empty MP4 file and I could just upload that to YouTube. So, I'm going to go
to YouTube here. All I do is in the top right-hand corner; I click on this plus button. Upload video.
and what I could do then is I'm going to go ahead and show my desktop. I could drag this video that
I just created, and I could drag and drop in and upload it to my YouTube channel. I'm not going to
do that because this is just a mock video that I created just for this walkthrough, but that's
really as simple as it is. I could create a video in PowerPoint, include my video image on there or
webcam image. I could have narration on top. I could have annotations. You can really make some
rich content using PowerPoint and then export it as an MP4 file that you could upload to any video
service. If this video helped you create your first PowerPoint that you can now upload online,
please give this video a thumbs up. If you want to see more videos like this in the future,

comes out, and if there are any other video topics that you want to see me cover in the future,

in the future. All right, well thanks a lot for tuning in. I'll see you next time. Bye.
