Tips and Tricks If old PowerPoint deck, then open and save as “pptx” with PowerPoint Use external webcam. Better A-V quality. No stylus noise. Audio is key. Adjust microphone volume with slider in recording pane until signal-bar shows activity until middle of scale. Consider external microphone like Blue Yeti, Nessie. Record first slide, and playback to see all ok before recording other slides. Pause briefly between slides. It makes it easy to re-record individual ones. Use video where essential, but audio-only allows greater focus on content and delivery. Ensure video check-box off when uploading, until close to final version. It considerably slows down the publishing process.
