Of course, many of us know that we can create a power point presentation with images, music, web content, pictures, texts etc. and you can save your power point presentations as video.
In power point 2010, you can save power point presentation as a .wmv (window media video) and you can share it confidently, knowing that your presentation will play without a glitch. If you don’t want to use .wmv file format, then go for third party utility to convert your file to another file format like .avi, .mov, etc.
Things to remember when you are recording presentation as a video:
You can control the size of multimedia file and the quality of your video.
You can record; do time voice narration and do laser pointer movements in your video.
You can include transition and animation in your movie.
If your presentation holds an embedded video, the video will play properly without your demanding to control it.
Viewers do not want to have PowerPoint installed on their computers/laptop to watch it.
