How to use audio and camera for my power point?

Question

I have done everything from looking a YouTube videos, my boyfriends tablet has windows and a camera with audio (I’m able to use it for honorlock for school) but I have a PowerPoint due tonight and when we go to record (under the slideshow tab) there is no option.

Answer 1

To use audio and camera features in PowerPoint, you can insert online videos or record audio directly in your presentation. However, it seems that you are having trouble finding the recording option under the slideshow tab. Here are some steps you can follow:

1. Check PowerPoint Version: Ensure that you are using a version of PowerPoint that supports audio and video recording. The desktop version typically has more features compared to PowerPoint for the web.
2. Insert Audio: If you want to add audio to your slides, you can go to the "Insert" tab, select "Audio," and then choose to record audio or insert audio from a file.
3. Insert Video: For videos, you can insert online videos from platforms like YouTube directly into your slides. Go to the "Insert" tab, select "Video," and then choose "Online Video."
4. Recording a Slideshow: If you want to record your presentation, go to the "Slide Show" tab and look for the "Record Slide Show" option. This feature allows you to record your narration and timings for your slides. If this option is not visible, it may be due to the version of PowerPoint you are using or the settings on the device.
5. Permissions: Ensure that your camera and microphone permissions are enabled in Windows settings. Go to Settings > Privacy > Camera and Settings > Privacy > Microphone to check this.

If you are still unable to find the recording option, it may be beneficial to check if you need to update your PowerPoint application or consult the help documentation for your specific version of PowerPoint.

Answer 2

Record is its own tab and is available only in the desktop version for Windows and for Mac. You cannot record a show on an Android or iOS tablet.
