How to Record Customized Camera Feeds With Cameo in PowerPoint
T he widespread adoption of remote work and virtual meetings has led many people and organizations to realize they don't have to be physically present in the same conference room to make presentations. In fact, you don't even need to conduct them live.
However, recording your PowerPoint slides with your face on them requires technical know-how and third-party apps like OBS. This makes recording presentations a bit difficult and discourages people from doing it.
Thankfully, Microsoft has addressed this issue in PowerPoint 365 with the Cameo feature. Here's what it is and how to use it.
What Is Cameo in PowerPoint?
Cameo is a PowerPoint feature that lets you add your webcam or any other camera feed into your presentation. This makes it easier to present virtually, as your audience can see you from within your slides.
Previously, you needed a third-party app like OBS to overlay yourself on your presentation. You can also use a green screen overlay in Capcut or other similar apps to achieve the same effect. However, this takes a lot of effort and know-how.
But with this feature, you can do it from inside PowerPoint with just a few clicks. Here's how to insert a cameo into your slides.
- Go to Insert > Cameo .
- After clicking on Cameo, PowerPoint will insert a placeholder object on your current slide and open the Camera Format tab.
- You can edit the object as you wish, much like any other shape on PowerPoint. You can also click on the options in the Designer pane on the right side of the screen to help you work faster.
- Once you're happy with its placement on your slide, click on the Preview button to see your live video.
With that, you can start presenting your PowerPoint slides via screen sharing while still keeping yourself on the screen.
How to Record Your PowerPoint Presentation With Cameo
You can also insert a cameo from Record > Cameo . Clicking on this will bring you to the same menu tab and insert a placeholder object for your video. However, even if you didn't set up Cameo beforehand, you can insert it directly while recording your presentation. Here's how:
- Go to Record > From Beginning or Record > From Current Slide .
- In the recording screen, click on the Camera icon at the top. This will insert a round object containing your video in your slides' lower-right-hand section.
- Click on the Red icon to start recording your presentation.
- Go through your presentation as usual. For more information, check out our guide on turning your presentations into videos .
- Once you've finished, click the Red icon again to stop recording.
- Click Export to go to the Export to video screen .
- Change the File Name as needed, then click Browse to select the location where you will save your recorded video.
- Once done, click Export Video .
With that, you don't have to spend much effort to add your video feed to your PowerPoint presentation recording. However, the app only places your video at one location across every slide; it might cover some of your content. That's why it's better to use the Cameo feature when you're building or editing your PowerPoint presentation.
If you're unhappy with your recording, press the Retake Video on the left of the record icon. You can pick between On Current Slide or On All Slides .
What You Need to Record Customized Camera Feeds
You need a webcam and a Microsoft 365 account to record your customized camera feed. Furthermore, you cannot use Cameo or record presentations in the PowerPoint web app. You need to download and install it on your computer to use these features.
The Cameo feature is already available on Microsoft PowerPoint 365 in Windows and Mac. However, recording your presentation with Cameo is only available on Windows. As of the time of writing, this feature isn't available for the main PowerPoint 365 for Mac version.
If you're running macOS, you must be a Microsoft 365 Insider to get this feature. However, since the Cameo recording feature is already announced in the Microsoft 365 Insider blog , we hope it will be available in the mainstream PowerPoint for Mac version in a few months.
Recording Your Presentations Is Now Much Easier
The Cameo feature has made presenting PowerPoint slides in video calls easier. And with the recording function, you no longer need a third-party app to put your video over your presentation.
You can integrate it into each slide, allowing you to control where you are on your screen. And you also save a lot of time and effort, as you can record and save your presentation as a video from within Microsoft PowerPoint.
PowerPoint: How to Add Audio to Powerpoint on Windows 10 and Mac
Last Updated Thursday, August 31, 2023, at 5:00 am
Known Issue (August 14, 2023):
Some Windows 11 users are experiencing issues with PowerPoint exports when they are turned into .mp4 files. Visuals within the exported PowerPoint are appearing as flipped, or upside down. We are working with Microsoft to find a solution.
As a workaround, please convert the file as a .WMV file option and save it in My Media. The following are directions on how to convert a PowerPoint Presentation with audio to a .WMV file . For more support or to help troubleshoot issues, please reach out to the LTS Help Desk at [email protected] .
Microsoft PowerPoint offers features to record audio narration and export it as a video. PowerPoint records audio slide-by-slide rather than in one continuous file, allowing creators to easily re-record a slide if they make a mistake or need to change something later. Exporting as a video and uploading to Kaltura or Canvas for streaming is advantageous since it standardizes file types, doesn't require a download to view, is in a format that can be captioned, and allows viewers to navigate more efficiently.
A recent update has made the process comparable on a Mac, but the specifics vary. Windows 10 instructions follow; Mac users can click the link below to jump to the appropriate instructions.
- Instructions for Mac users
Windows 10 Instructions:
The following instructions explain how to add audio to your PowerPoint presentation on Windows 10 and export that PowerPoint as an MP4. The text instructions cover the same information as the embedded video below.
NOTE: If you have an older version of PowerPoint, you may need to update it to access the features described below. If you do not have PowerPoint, you can download it and other Microsoft Office products for free by going to office365.uwec.edu. If you have questions about updating or installing PowerPoint, contact the LTS Help Desk at [email protected] or 715-836-5711.
- Design your PowerPoint TIP: Use images and limit text to better engage viewers/listeners.
- Click Record Slide Show NOTE: Audio may start recording automatically if you have an older version of PowerPoint. It will still work, but this version offers reduced functionality.
- Record narration and avoid reading text on the slide out loud to viewers. Click the blue Replay button to listen to the recorded audio and ensure it was recording.
- Press [Escape] or the ‘X’ button located in the top right of the screen when the audio recordings are finished. You will see a speaker icon on slides that have audio.
- Select Export (steps 10-14 are shown in screenshot below).
- Select Create a Video .
- Optional: Select Full HD (1080p) for the video quality; it is unlikely a higher quality is needed.
- Select Use Recorded Timings and Narrations.
- Follow prompt/pop-up window to save the video in a memorable location.
- How to upload and share with Kaltura (Instructors should use Kaltura. Students will need to use it if the file is over 500 MB, which a PowerPoint probably won't be and they can use Canvas.)
- How to upload and share in a Canvas assignment (students)
- How to upload and share in a Canvas discussion (students) - the instructions refer to the "rich content editor" which is just the features in the top of the discussion post reply.
Elaboration on the Recording Features:
- Timing Feature – there is a rolling time feature for the individual slide and the overall presentation. Allows the speaker/presenter to monitor how long they are talking.
- Microphone Feature - Click on Settings and select Microphone and then the specific device to set up before recording.
- Replay Feature - Use to check that the audio is recording properly before starting additional slides.
- Clear Feature - Select Clear to delete/re-record audio.
- Don’t set the camera to record - Make sure this button has a diagonal slash through it to avoid the problem.
Mac Instructions:
The following instructions will teach you how to add audio to your PowerPoint presentation on a Mac and export that PowerPoint as an MP4. The text instructions cover the same information as the video embedded below.
NOTE: It is essential to have the Office 365 version of PowerPoint or you will not be able to save your PowerPoint as a video. If necessary, you can download it and other Microsoft Office products for free by going to office365.uwec.edu. If you have questions about updating or installing PowerPoint, contact the LTS Help Desk at [email protected] or 715-836-5711.
- TIP: Use images and limit text to better engage viewers/listeners.
- Click Record Slide Show
- TIP: Before you begin recording your full presentation, do a practice recording to verify your microphone and other settings are correct.
- NOTE: Avoid reading the text written directly on the slide; use the slide to elaborate on the material being presented.
- Stop speaking for a second to prevent the audio from cutting out as slides change. Resume speaking when the time starts moving again under the Current slide timing feature to the left of the recording button.
- Click Stop or Pause at the top of the screen and then End Show in the top left corner when all the audio recordings have been finished.
- Check the audio by clicking on Play from Start under the Slide Show tab or the presenter mode icon at the bottom of the screen.
- Edit the name of the file and where you would like to save the video following PowerPoint's prompts.
- Click Export
- Upload your mp4 video to Kaltura or Canvas to share it:
- How to upload and share to My Media (Instructors should use My Media. Students will need to use it if the file is over 500 MB, which a PowerPoint probably won't be and they can use Canvas.)
