Save a PowerPoint Presentation as a Video
PowerPoint can save your presentation as a Windows Media Video (.wmv) file to distribute on the Internet. Presentations in this format can easily be shared around the world.

- With the presentation open in PowerPoint, click the File, choose Save & Send and select Create a video.
- Click the Computer & HD Displays down arrow and select one of the following: Computer & HD Displays or Internet & DVD or Portable Devices, click Create Video.
-
Browse to the location where you want to store your presentation, enter a file name and click Save.
To Play your video, go to the folder location and double-click the file.
How to Share your Video
- Embed the video into a Web page
- Send the video file by email
- Upload the video to a sharing Web site like YouTube
- Save the video to a file share site like Windows Live.
Tips recording your presentation as a video:
- record and time voice narration and laser pointer movements in your video.
- include animations and transitions in your movie.
- viewers do not need to have PowerPoint installed on their computers to watch it.
- if your presentation contains an embedded video, the video will play correctly without your needing to control it.
Depending on the content of your presentation, creating a video may take some time. You can continue to use PowerPoint while the video is being created
View a Presentation on the Web
The Broadcast Slide Show feature in PowerPoint 2010 enables presenters to share a slide show with anyone, anywhere, over the Web. You send a link (URL) to your audience, and then everyone watches a synchronized view of your slide show in their browser.
Choosing a broadcast service The Broadcast Slide Show feature requires a network service to host the slide show. You can choose from among several services, including a SharePoint server within your organization but for this course we will use the PowerPoint Broadcast Service. This service is available to anyone with a Windows Live ID. Anyone on the Internet will be able to access the URL for a slide show hosted on this service.
Before you broadcast your presentation:
- The presenter and audience need to be connected to the Internet. The broadcast slide show feature can be viewed in the Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Safari for Mac browsers.
- There may be a limit on the file size for broadcasted slide shows depending on the broadcast service
- Some PowerPoint features are changed when the slide show is broadcasted online:
- all transitions in your presentation appear as Fade transitions in the browser
- audio (sounds, narration) is not transmitted to the audience through the browser
- you can’t follow a hyperlink in your present
