How Do I Pre-record My On-Screen Presentation?

In many cases, pre-recording presentations for live virtual events is useful.

There are numerous software solutions that help you create a professional-looking screen recording. We can recommend two tools that the majority of speakers will most likely have installed on their PC or Mac.

If you have created your presentation using PowerPoint, you can also use the built-in PowerPoint feature that lets you record an on-screen presentation with voiceover narration and camera input.
The video narration feature, however, only works when you’re using a PC. Mac users may have to use additional tools that allow them to add their camera feed to the recording.

Another useful tool worth consideration the video conferencing platform Zoom. Its free version offers extensive options to record one’s own screen with a separate window showing the webcam view.
