Before you start screen recording, test that your microphone is on and working so that you can provide an audio track for the presentation.
If you would like to use all PowerPoint slides for the presentation, please skip to the next chapter. If you only want to show selected slides or only part of your presentation, select the slides you do NOT want to show and click Hide Slides.
OR
Click on Target Group Presentation and select the slides you want to show (+add).
In the Slide Show tab, you will find the Record Slide Show option.
